This book gathers the teachings of Pope John Paul II on apostolic celibacy, exploring its particular link to the Kingdom of God. As part of his catechesis on the theology of the body and human love, the author analyzes the meaning of an apparently paradoxical aspect of Christianity, which elevates the value of the body and sexuality in the dogma of the resurrection of the flesh and the sacrament of marriage, while highlighting the superior value of celibacy for the Kingdom of God.
Pope John Paul II was head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of Vatican City from 16 October 1978 until his death in 2005. He was the first non-Italian pope since Adrian VI in the 16th century, as well as the third-longest-serving pope in history, after St. Peter and Pius IX.
