In late modernity, human bodies are suppressed and overestimated at the same time. The paper analyzes this paradoxical development and shows what the consequences are for the experiences of illness and sexuality. Thereby, theology and church are challenged to deal with its somatophobic tradition on the one hand and with the ambivalent cult of the body in the present on the other hand.
