Synopsis

This book affirms the human dignity of the members of the LGBTQI as Children of God who should be fully accepted in the Catholic Church. It sociologically analyzes how institutional homophobia or fear of homosexuality and the traditional natural law morality that only allows heterosexuality and gender complementarity of male and female constitute the primary ecclesial and conceptual hindrance toward the full integration of the gender-diverse LGBTQI in the Catholic Church. It recommends the updating of the Church's natural moral framework and adoption of a sociological-synodal moral framework to overcome homophobia and unconditionally welcome the gay community in the Catholic Church with full moral rights like heterosexuals as God's Children.
