Is it Befitting for a Christian to be a Nudist?

What a silly (or is it stoopid) question!  Why of course it is.

The following is just one of many takes on it.

Pope John Paul II in 1981 said, "Because God created it, the human body
can remain nude and uncovered and preserve intact its splendor and
dignity" breaking down the previous religious intolerance in Latin
America and Western Europe and fueling the rapid growth of nudism
there. I am grateful for his blessing of the lifestyle.

such as David.


Pope John Paul II also writes:

"Nakedness Is not Immodest"

by Pope John Paul II [1]

Sexual modesty cannot then in any simple way be identified with the use
of clothing, nor shamelessness with the absence of clothing and total or
partial nakedness. There are circumstances in which nakedness is not
immodest nakedness as such is not to be equated with physical
shamelessness. Immodesty is present only when nakedness plays a negative
role with regard to the value of the person, when its aim is to arouse
concupiscence, as a result of which the person is put in the position of
an object of enjoyment. The human body is not in itself shameful, nor
for the same reasons are sensual reactions, and human sensuality in
general. Shamelessness (just like shame and modesty) is a function of
the interior of a person. There is a certain relativism in the
definition of what is shameless. This relativism may be due to
differences in the makeup of particular persons a greater or lesser
sensual excitability, a higher or lower level of moral culture or to
different world views. It may equally be due to differences in external
conditions in climate, for instance and also in prevailing customs,
social habits, etc. Dress is always a social question, a function
of social customs. In this matter there is no exact similarity in the
behavior of particular people, even if they live in the same age and the
same society. The principle of what is truly immodest is simple and
obvious, but its application in specific cases depends upon the
individual, the milieu, the society. There are circumstances in which
nakedness is not immodest. If someone takes advantage of such an
occasion to treat the person as an object of enjoyment (even if his
action is purely internal) it is only he who is guilty of shamelessness,
not the other.
