Simply amazing. Calling Catholic couples to aspire to a love greater than western culture promotes, Good News provides detailed, theological and yet practical explanations for Church teachings on a variety of topics including contraception, non-marital sex, sex for pleasure within marriage (spoiler: totally not a bad thing), masturbation, homosexuality, and chastity. It's a good read for single, dating, engaged, or married men and women searching for the real meaning behind their sexuality, how to achieve satisfaction in our confusing world, and how to fulfill God's call to love as he does in the process.

This is truly a travesty of Christian thought.
It bases it’s claims of toddler logic.
Basing you ethics on bodily functions is already a shaky starting point but when you argue that because sex can be procreative that it must be you lose what little credibility you might have had.
It’s crackpot theory stacked on top of disproven ideas of gender, stacked on general sociological ignorance stacked on political jostling.
It contained very little in the way of scriptural evidence for its many claims and many of those are irrelevant or misapplied.
It might be a good primer for background knowledge on the Catholic sub-types of Puritanism, sexism and homophobia but it’s not a serious exploration of ethics in most cases.
