The modality of the course is online, with weekly meetings, recorded classes and study material in PDF format. In addition, it will optionally offer monthly spiritual withdrawal spaces.
This diploma seeks to provide comprehensive training to understand and communicate the truth of the body, sexuality and human love from the Christian proposal, in the light of theology developed by Saint John Paul II.
In a context marked by “anthropological disorientation”, the proposal aims to recover a hopeful, deep and faithful vision of revelation about the human person, body, sexuality and vocation to love.
The theology of the body is “a precious treasure in this time of questions without answering. It offers solid certainties and at the same time open paths to originality and personal reflection,” they point out from vocation to love.
Find a deeper sense: healing, light and hope
Participants from previous editions shared their experience with the diploma, highlighting their impact both personally and in their evangelizing mission:
“It is not just about understanding sexuality from God’s plan, but about discovering the meaning of our existence, the value of the body and our vocation to love (…) This diploma is not only knowledge: it is a path of healing, light for life and a concrete proposal of hope,” said a participant.
“I am married and helped me to see my marriage sacramentally, although my husband did not do it, he changed both of us improving our relationship and that of our children,” said another of the attendees.
Silvina, widow and catechist, said she was “healing wounds, understanding the value of my body, the value of my existence, making me questions that had never reached my mind, but that are very necessary,” and considered that the knowledge provided by San Juan Paul II is of the utmost importance “so that today’s adolescents find their way without falling to where the world takes them.”
“I recommend that they do the diploma, because in my case, since I met these catechesis of Pope John Paul II, they helped me to understand and learn more who I am. It gives a deeper sense of human reality. And they were answers to my desires,” said another participant.
Romina, Medical, stressed how this formation allowed him to “integrate faith into science” to offer more human and integral care to his patients.
Diploma modality
It is divided into seven modules, which run through the catechesis of St. John Paul II on human love, its philosophical and theological roots, and its application in various areas of Christian life.
The meetings will be issued on Mondays from 8:00 p.m. to 22:00 (Argentine time) by Zoom, and will be recorded for those who cannot participate live. There will also be a weekly complementary class with guest exhibitors, and access to a virtual platform (Canvas Instructor) with all the study material.
The certification will be in charge of vocation to love, with the endorsement of the John Paul II University (Costa Rica).
The diploma will be dictated by María Fernanda Quinteros and Fr. Leandro Bonnin, and will have a large group of guest exhibitors of recognized international prestige, among which are Fray Nelson Medina, Fr. Daniel Torres Cox, Rebeca Barba, Dr. Marian Athenas María Venica, and others.
In addition, participants will be able to access online spiritual retreats monthly, such as a space of personal deepening and prayer.
Although it is especially oriented to trainers, educators, evangelizers, marriages, young and consecrated, it is open to all those who wish to live and announce the gospel of human love with truth, beauty and depth, with the requirement of having full secondary education.
