Catholic Teaching on Homosexuality

New Paths to Understanding Louis J. Cameli
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, Rev. Louis Cameli oers 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, Cameli provides a deeper understanding of the Churchs theological language and stresses that while the Church is a teacher, it must also be a learner.
