[edit] Background

Jason Evert earned a master's degree in Theology, and undergraduate degrees in Counseling and Theology, with a minor in Philosophy at Franciscan University of Steubenville.

[edit] Message

The majority of the arguments he makes for chastity in speeches and books are rooted in Catholic doctrine, and have been approved by the Censor Librorum, certifying that his teachings are free of Catholic doctrinal or moral errors. Most of his arguments stem from themes of respect, pure love, and waiting for one's spouse while making it interesting to the youth.^{[citation needed]}

Evert also makes non-doctrinal arguments based on portions of studies that support the Church's views on sexuality.

Jason speaks internationally to over 100,000 teens each year in Catholic, non-Catholic Christian, and public junior and senior high schools, as well as universities. His highly popular chastity seminar, "Romance without Regret," provides compelling and uplifting reasons for embracing the virtue of chastity.
