Catholic Teaching on Homosexuality: New Paths to Understanding

In Catholic Teaching on Homosexuality: New Paths to Understanding Rev. Louis Cameli nationally renowned pastoral leader and priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago presents the Catholic Churchs teaching on homosexuality with insight new possibilities for spiritual care and a vision for greater hospitality within the Church. Is the sexuality of homosexually inclined persons a blessing or a curse? Does it lead a person to God or away from God? Can a homosexual person be a good Catholic? With humility and pastoral sensitivity Cameli offers hope to the many who feel alienated from the Church because of these questions. Taking his cue from Pope Benedicts call to "express the teaching pastorally theologically and intellectually in the context of todays studies of sexuality and anthropology " he provides a deeper understanding of the Churchs theological language and stresses that while the Church is a teacher it must also be a learner.
