Produktbeschreibung
The Rainbow of God's Creation outlines the Catholic Church's teachings and their historical origins in relation to people who identify as LGBTIQA+. The guide explores past and current scientific and theological developments that can inform new approaches to LGBTIQA+ people, challenging remaining Catholic doctrines that condemn non-heterosexual expressions of sexual love. It introduces examples of Catholics encountering, engaging in dialogue with - and blessing the loving commitment of - gay, lesbian, and transgender people. Inside you will hear from Pope Francis, members of religious orders, priests, and lay founders of Catholic pastoral organisations plus many LGBTIQA+ people themselves. These models of hope are seen as opening the way towards an inclusive, open-hearted Catholic Church, willing to embrace our LGBTIQA+ siblings as precious expressions of God's limitless, creative Love. From their dedicated work - and the findings of global consultations such as the Australian Plenary Council and the universal Synod on Synodality - some implications, conclusions, and practical suggestions for response and action from the Catholic Church are offered in the final chapter. It is recognised that necessary changes in Church teaching and practice require Christian discernment, prudence, and an exercise of Church authority that is respectful of the 'Sense of the Faithful', and guided by the Holy Spirit. Preface by Bishop Vincent Long Van Nguyen, OFM Conv. Bishop of Parramatta.
