LIVED EXPERIENCE VALIDATES CHURCH TEACHING
The Ruth Institute maintains that traditional Christian sexual morality is both reasonable and humane. Sadly, many people, even inside the Catholic Church, do not fully accept or even understand these teachings.
At the Ruth Institute, we affirm that “lived experience” is an important reference point for evaluating sexual norms. Unlike the current thinking at the Pontifical Academy for Life, however, our examination of “lived experience” shows that the Church’s teachings are good, true, and inspiring.
The material on this page includes interviews Dr. Morse has conducted with the contributors to this volume. The book’s publisher, EnRoute books, showcases other interviews with the contributors.
