"Just Love" or "Love and Responsibility"

Michael P., thank you for your responses to my questions.  And Fr. Araujo, thank you for your intervention.  A year and a half ago, at Michael's suggestion, I read "Just Love."  I found the book disappointing for many reasons, including those expressed here.  At the time Michael P. and I contemplated an MOJ dialogue on the merits of "Just Love: A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics" and Karol Wojtyla's "Love and Responsibility," which I think is the most profound book on sexual ethics.

How about a week long dialogue on the merits of these two books?  (Michael P., if there is a book on sexual ethics that you find more profound than "Just Love," we can substitute it).  I propose that this dialogue take place the second week of December when we will want to be distracted from grading.  Michael P. and I can start it off with opening observations and then open up the dialogue to MOJ contributors and readers who have read both books.  Michael P., what do you say?
