There are many challenges—says the author—that the Church is called to face today; first of all, the progressive trivialization of sexuality, weakness and emotional fragility, the biotechnological revolution in the field of human procreation that has introduced "the possibility of manipulating the act of human reproduction, making it independent of the sexual relationship between man and woman." We are witnessing—she says—a devaluation of the body and its worth, deprived of its transcendent dimension and exposed to all types of technical manipulation.

The response that the Christian community can give to all this is firstly a renewed pastoral approach, capable of reaching the concrete man and his deepest desires, an affective-sexual education for different age groups and in various educational spaces, and especially increasing attention in welcoming and accompanying, so that each person, in the plurality of concrete situations, can feel fully loved by God in the Church.
