Description: "This book gathers together the teachings of Popes Leo XIII, Pius XI and Pius XII concerning the origin, value, education, use and destiny of the human body. The numberous discourses of Pope Pius XII on these topics are a proof of their timeliness. In the presence of the many recent discoveries of medical science, and ever more daring moral theories widely spread by a too liberal press, many persons find themselves in doubt and ask the Church to present her point of view on these questions."
