009: Straight Thinking About Sexual Identity — Katrina Zeno

  • Resumen

  • https://youtu.be/9WXMeW0CH8g Do you have a daughter who feels more like a boy than a girl and wants to have a sex change?  Or do you maybe have a son who came home from college last Thanksgiving and shared the news over the turkey dinner: “Mom, Dad, I’m gay”?  If you are a parent who is facing or has faced one of these difficult and very modern situations, you might be as, if not more, confused about “gender” as your child.  In this episode, guest Katrina Zeno explains how the road to our modern confusion about “gender” has taken hundreds of years to develop.  Katrina sees the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas and Pope St. JPII as offering much-needed clarifications on matters of sexual identity. Katrina Zeno is the coordinator of the St. John Paul II Resource Center for Theology of the Body and Culture for the Diocese of Phoenix.  She is the author of three books including Discovering the Feminine Genius and The Body Reveals God. Katrina has been speaking nationally and internationally on St. John Paul II's "theology of the body" for over 21 years.  Born and raised in San Diego, she received her B.A. in theology from Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio and her Masters in Theological Studies from the Pontifical John Paul II Institute in Washington, DC. In this episode Katrina addresses: How the body and the spirit are supposed to be unitedWhy some theology of the body speakers might have what appears to be a risqué presentation styleHow theology of the body in many ways is about trying to recompose the human nature in the fullness of the truth that we are an embodied spiritHow 700 years of philosophy led us to our current thinking on matters of sexual identityHow the nominalism of William of Ockham and its overemphasis of God’s will was the beginning of where philosophical thinking got off trackThe importance of accepting that there are universals or natures in correctly understanding sexual identityHow René Descartes jettisoned the essence and purpose of things, leaving only the function, and how he erroneously over-emphasized the human willHow Sir Francis Bacon’s view that there is no permanent essence and no purpose devalued deductive reasoning such that it overemphasized the experimental method in understanding the how things work and how such a view is being used today to wrongfully discount proper views of sexuality and moralityThe importance of knowing the difference between meaning and function and their proper applications as pertains to determining the morally righteous use of the human bodyHow Charles Darwin sought to show that the origin of the species did not include God and how Darwinism’s Godless arbitrariness fails to adequately explain the nature of human sexualityHow Friedrich Nietzsche had good intentions but the wrong solution regarding the problem of defining sexual natureHow Nietzsche erroneously our understanding of God to be a projection of human psychology, e.g. a shame-riddled person will see God as honorableHow Nietzsche’s claim that “God is dead and we have killed him” makes sense in the context of his erroneous understanding of GodHow Nietzsche’s “will to power” is another example of an overemphasis on the will, albeit an atheistic viewpointHow Nietzsche’s view that “We go beyond good and evil” is dangerous when used to define and understand the sexual nature of the human personHow the structure of reality has been discarded by NietzscheHow the solution to all the confusion created by erroneous philosophies is the “recapturing of human nature made for union and communion through a total gift of self in love”How the closest we can get to giving a total gift of self is in the marital actHow in receiving the Holy Eucharist when properly disposed, we become one flesh with God and experience the ultimate purpose of what our bodies were created forWhat is her most basic book on the Theology of the Body?
