Mit diesem mutigen Buch hat der amerikanische Jesuit und Bestseller- Autor in den USA eine heftige Debatte in Gang gesetzt: Viele schwule, lesbische, transgender Katholiken fühlen sich in ihrer Kirche nicht willkommen und ausgeschlossen. Für James Martin sind sie Mitglieder der Kirche wie alle anderen auch: 'Für Jesus gibt es nicht die und wir'. Anhand dreier zentraler Begriffe aus dem katholischen Weltkatechismus (Respekt, Mit-Fühlen und Empathie) entwirft er einen Weg, wie VertreterInnen der katholischen Kirche ihren schwulen, lesbischen und transgender Gläubigen begegnen können und umgekehrt: wie diese eine Beziehung zu ihrer Kirche aufbauen können. Für eine Kirche im Umbruch ein Buch zur rechten Zeit!
