On the misinterpretation of "theology of the body"

From CNA:

Fr. Gresko says West claims that “a more complete spousal understanding of the 'body' provides the key to rectifying the sinful diseases of the 'heart.'”  But such an attitude, he writes, overlooks a human's tendency towards sin, which is “objectively present in the body” even after Baptism. The priest points out in his column that even the most virtuous saints “had to wage battle daily” against sin. Therefore, assuming that lust or other disorders of the heart can be completely removed from the spousal act, as West seems to suggest, is false. ...Essentially, the family and the relationship between husband and wife on which it is founded, represents an “analogy of the Trinity” but not the Trinity itself.  Overemphasis on the sexual act can eclipse humanity's relationship with God, which is first and foremost that of Father and child, he explains.
