TOBET was founded in 2001 by a grassroots group of people to promulgate St. John Paul’s message of hope and healing to a world in need. The founders were educators and parents who recognized a calling to spread the Theology of the Body to people of all ages in a holistic way.

The need for this life-giving message is evident in the regular calls and emails we receive from people who live in a culture which distorts the proper view of sexuality and identity. This distorted view rests on what St. John Paul diagnosed as “detachment” from the truth and meaning of the human body. Detachment is a mindset which devalues the human body and thus, the dignity and identity of the human person.

St. John Paul anticipated much of this crisis of identity and detachment in his writing and through Theology of the Body gives a wondrous view of the meaning of our existence, which is to love and be loved. This reality, he says, is made visible in our human bodies. TOBET “translates” this philosophically dense, theological reflection so that families and people of all ages can access this life-affirming teaching.
