Bücher von Todd A. Salzman

On the basis of Pope Francis' support of the legal protection of same-sex civil unions, "new pastoral methods," theological anthropological and ethical methodological developments, this book argues for the organic development of Catholic sexual teaching to recognize the morality and sacramentality of both opposite-sex and same-sex marriage.

Presents an investigation of the ongoing methodical reconstruction of Catholic moral theology.

This book has two objectives, one explicit and one implicit. The explicit objective is to explore the normative implications for both general and sexual ethics of the methodological and anthropological developments in Catholic tradition. The implicit objective is to stimulate dialogue in the Church about ethics, particularly sexual ethics, a dialogue that must necessarily include all in the communion-Church, laity, theologians, and hierarchy. Since we believe that genuine and respectful dialogue about sexual morality is sorely needed to clarify Christian truth today, we intend this book to be part of that genuine dialogue.
