Summary
The author, who is a Catholic priest, reflects on the question of whether the body is inherently evil, discussing the influences of Jewish and Greek cultures on Christian theology and the emergence of the concept of the body being corruptible. He argues that, while some religious traditions have viewed the body as evil and corruptible, the body itself is not evil, but can be corrupted by individual actions. He ultimately asserts his belief in the wholeness and goodness of the body, aligning with the nudist philosophy.
