Homosexuality in a Catholic Context: What Has Been Said About It? What Else Can Be Said?
Authors Andrew Sullivan and David Morrison discuss homosexuality in Catholic culture. Sullivan argues that there is no scriptural substantiation for the Church’s stance against homosexuality, while Morrison promotes chastity for those who are attracted to persons of the same sex. Sullivan is senior editor at the New Republic, a regular contributor to the New York Times Magazine and the Sunday Times of London, and author of Virtually Normal: An Argument About Homosexuality and Love Undetectable: Notes on Friendship, Sex and Survival. Morrison is a writer and editor whose work has appeared in New Covenant Magazine, The Catholic Newspaper, Our Sunday Visitor, and the New York Post. He is also the author of Beyond Gay, an autobiographical social commentary on Catholicism and homosexuality.
The program is introduced by Joseph Appleyard, vice president for University mission and ministry.
