The assessment of homosexuality puts Catholicism in turmoil: While the magisterial rejection of homosexual practices and partnerships seems unshakeable, theology strives to treat the topic as an open question. Even among many believers, the condemnation of homosexuality no longer resonates positively. For Pope Francis, the credibility of the proclamation of the Gospel is even at stake in the way homosexuals are treated. This volume examines the biblical basis for the assessment of homosexuality and critically questions its own tradition. It incorporates insights from the human and social sciences, looks into other confessional contexts, and provides important impulses for the further development of Catholic moral teaching.
