However, Fr. Villa is wrong when he claims (PDF p. 82):This is true:
and Summa suppl. q. 81 a. 3 c.:
We do not become angels when we obtain our resurrected bodies; we become like the angels.

So Fr. Villa's conclusion doesn't follow:
"So, for John Paul II, the new state of eternal life will be in the same line of life that men had in Paradise Lost."
.
What line of life did men have 350 years ago in John Milton's epic poem?

They are teaching this stuff to teenagers in classes.

And these young people dont even know the Ten Commandments or how to pray the Rosary.  They don't know who St Ignatius is.

In encouraging lack of shame vis-a-vis concupiscence, JP2's TOB actually inflames concupiscence by encouraging people to behave as if they didn't have any.

I saw a lecture by Christopher West on EWTN where he was mocking and holding in derision people who would keep custody of the eyes; that guy's a pervert who tries to legitimize lust by call it divine and "theological".  To show the level at which his mind operates, he claimed, for instance, that the immersion of the Pascal candle into the Baptismal water during the Easter Liturgy was a conjugal / copulative symbol.
.
I have a friend who saw Christopher West in person, and came away from the presentation convinced he had just seen a soft porn show.  I have never met a single person who believes that West in any way promotes chastity or virtue. His whole program is making prurient interest excusable.
