This is a somewhat old article, but after my initial blog posts on the Christopher West controversy sparked by his appearance on Nightline this past May, I thought I’d follow up by posting his response.
I think he does this in a spirit of humility, not shying away from his shortcomings, but really owning what it is that he does. He has mad gifts, you have to admit. As a former facilitator of the God’s Plan Program and occasional Theology of the Body teacher and speaker, Christopher West, while not always perfect and academically precise as his critics would like, is a gift to the Church. So many people have come to embrace the teachings of HMC through John Paul’s TOB as taught by West. For this we should rejoice.
If you’re new to the Theology of the Body revolution, see “Recommended Resources” for a kick start.

I want to be Christopher West when I grow up! And I enjoy his provocative side,and I think it makes his message more genuine. We need someone who speaks passionately about the Truth without trying to toe the line without offending someone.
I say: Go forth and spread the good word, Christopher West!
