About
Theology of the Body
We found that there was nothing out there to meet the needs of our audience – the modern Catholic parent. Religion texts teach catechism. The culture teaches moral relativism. TOB school curriculums are not always easy to navigate for busy parents. So we created TOB MONTHLY – our mini magazine which teaches kids about personhood and sexuality in an age-appropriate way, with the parent always in the lead.
Christian Anthropology Standards
In 2019 leading TOB scholars standardized the teachings of the Theology of the Body into what are now called Christian Anthropology standards. These 12 standards streamline the process for educators to share the wisdom of TOB, and are the basis of our mini magazine called TOB MONTHLY. Each of our 8 issues focus on 1-2 Christian Anthropology Standards.
Who We Are
We are Catholic parents and professionals from the Portland, OR area. We are theologians, educators, doctors, psychologists, moms, dads, priests, faith formation directors, and business men and women. We have combined intellect and desire to create a new movement of empowered parents who are equipped to reclaim their role as primary educators.
Why We Created
We found that there was nothing out there to meet the needs of our audience – the modern Catholic parent. Religion texts teach catechism. The culture teaches moral relativism. TOB school curriculums are not always easy to navigate for busy parents. So we created TOB MONTHLY – our mini magazine which teaches kids about personhood and sexuality in an age-appropriate way, with the parent always in the lead.
How We Created
We created and followed a thorough process for each issue of TOB MONTHLY. We started with 1-2 Christian Anthropology Standards (fundamental teachings of TOB). We designed interactive and engaging lessons. We infused each issue with supporting facts and quotes from doctors, psychologists, saints, and Scripture. We then submitted each issue for the approval of Archbishop Alexander Sample to earn the Imprimatur.
Our Audience
Our audience has always been the modern Catholic parent. We understand the unique challenges and needs of this group, and strive to meet those needs in all we do. The modern Catholic parent is faithful, devoted, and loving … but B.U.S.Y. They need a product and process that will help their kids armor up against the culture in an E.A.S.Y. way. That’s why we created TOB MONTHLY. Families can complete the activities at the dinner table once a month.
