Capuchin Monk Ksawery Knotz to Attend Forum of Publishers in Lviv
The author of the bestseller "Sex which you do not know. For married couples who love God," Fr. Ksawery Knotz, a Capuchin monk from Poland, has become an honored guest of the 17th Forum of Publishers in Lviv.
Fr. Ksawery Knotz will stay in Ukraine for two days, 15-16 September. Today, the Ukrainian edition of his book will be presented and the author will meet students of the Ukrainian Catholic University and Holy Spirit Seminary, as well as representatives of youth and family movements of the Catholic Church and journalists.
On 16 September, Fr. Ksawery will present his book "Sex which you do not know. For married couples who love God" to Ukrainian readers and journalists in the conference hall of the Palace of Arts and will hold an autographing session near the stand of the Svichado Publishing House. After that, he will attend the ceremonial opening of the 5th International Literary Festival, part of the 17th Forum of Publishers, and the ceremony of awarding the winners of the all-Ukrainian Competition "Best Book of the Forum of Publishers-2010."
Together with other special guests of the forum, Fr. Ksawery is invited to a reception by the Lviv mayor, Andrii Sadovyi.
As RISU already reported, the book is the result of many years of work of the author on the subject of sexual relations in marriage and also an attempt to bring closer to a wide circle of interested persons the Biblical teaching on sexual relations in marriage.
The book provoked lively discussions in Poland and also Ukraine after it was published in May, 2010. "Can a monk talk about sex?" is the main question of the skeptics.
In order to give Ukrainian readers the opportunity to hear a response to this question directly from the author, the Svichado Publishing House invited Fr. Ksawery to visit Ukraine and present the edition.
