Uma investigação sobre o significado esponsal do corpo e o valor do celibato pelo Reino dos Céus no âmbito da teologia do corpo de São João Paulo II

Abstract

This dissertation presents itself as a study, which implies, at first, the approach of
several areas in which the philosophy of Wojtyła developed, with special emphasis on St. Thomas Aquinas and personalism. In a second moment we sought to approach the content given by St. John Paul II to the spousal meaning of the body, identifying its origin in the imago Dei and it’s end in the communion of persons. In the third moment we sought to understand the theological sense of celibacy for the Kingdom of Heaven, by showing how the Polish Pope presents celibacy in the catechesis and, finally, in what sense the content of the relationship between marriage and celibacy is revealed, either by celibacy’s superiority, as well as by the complementarity between the two.
