Lgbt and Catholic Doctrine

The marriage of the Bridegroom and the Bride, referring to the marriage of Christ and His church, is one of the central mysteries of salvation within Catholic teaching. The creation of human beings as male and female is connected with this teaching. However, the lived experiences of many persons who identify as LGBT in the world sometimes seems to be at odds with the doctrines that are connected with these teachings.

This book is an imaginative attempt to look at what the church teaches on these issues and why it teaches it from the perspective of the Person that stands behind all of the church's teachings. It covers topics including sexuality, marriage, the creation of gender, idolatry, salvation outside the church, the seeming changes in some church doctrines over historical time, transgenderism, homosexuality, cross-dressing and others.
