Sexuality and Catholic Thought: Flourishing Bodies
Sexuality is intrinsic to being human. In our current social context, we encounter a variety of perspectives regarding what it means to be sexual. We will explore Catholic thought about sexuality itself in the context of contemporary culture and we will consider how Pope Francis has responded to the ongoing evolution of our understanding of sexuality.
Doris Kieser is Associate Professor of Theology and Ethics, and Associate Dean, at St. Joseph’s College, the Catholic College at the University of Alberta. She is also a Core Member and Adjunct Associate Professor at the John Dossetor Health Ethics Centre, at the U of A. In addition to her scholarly work, she is a Counselling Therapist with a small practice at Insight Psychological Inc. in Edmonton. Doris’s work reflects a commitment to the wellbeing of females and she strives for it to be interdisciplinary, inclusive, and intersectional.

Conversations History
-
April 2023
When MAiD became a legal option in Canada, eligibility for considering it required “a grievous and irremediable medical condition” … “unbearable suffering” and “decline that cannot be relieved under conditions you consider acceptable.” Mental illness was the only medical condition that was explicitly ruled out, but new legislation will change this. How do Catholics respond to these changing circumstances of MAiD in Canada?
No Video is available of the session.
