The Cor Project (This post contains a link to audio messages)

The Cor Project is an online project (www.corproject.com) that is being headed by author and teacher Christopher West, for the purpose of popularizing the riches that are to be found in Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body, which was a series of addresses given by the Pope from 1979-1984.  

Here's a short mission statement from the Cor Project website explaining the essence that it contains:

"Founded by Christopher West and inspired by John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, The Cor Project aims to reframe questions of human existence in such a way that the divine plan for man and woman can be perceived and embraced in all its beauty and splendor. This is a project of the heart (“cor” is Latin for heart), attracting men and women who are yearning for more than what our culture’s approach to happiness and fulfillment has to offer."

This powerful statement found on the Cor Project summarizes the Theology of the Body teaching:

"the Theology of the Body offers an in-depth biblical exploration of the meaning of our creation as male and female in the divine image that not only paves the way for lasting renewal of marriage and family life, but, as one of the most captivating articulations of Christian anthropology ever developed, enables everyone to rediscover “the meaning of the whole of existence, the meaning of life” (TOB 46:6)."

With that introduction, you can listen to a series of messages (4 in the series) given by West in 2012, at Truro Church in Fairfax, VA.  The title of the series is "Our Bodies proclaim the Gospel."  It is very good material and West is addressing a Christian audience of difference traditional backgrounds, Catholics and non-Catholics.
