Conjugal Chastity in Pope Wojtyla explains how Karol Wojtyla philosopher theologian and Pope
tried to show how the sexual act within the context of marriage is an expression of love.
After explaining how love as goodwill is the foundation of conjugal love the correct
relationship between love and justice is clarified. The negative dimension of the personalistic
norm of Wojtyla is then critically examined. Conjugal love is explained in terms of conjugal
beneficience based on conjugal benevolence. This love leads to total self-giving in each
conjugal act. The procreative meaning of the conjugal act seems to be its most formal element
(the soul of the act so to speak) the unitive element is described as an essential property
of this act something which necessarily flows from the conjugal act which is open to life.
Chastity is the virtue that allows sexuality to be integrated into a love which is truly
personal and reflects Trinitarian Love.
