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."
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.
