Why Can’t Pope Francis and the Catholic Church Fully Accept the LGBTQI?
Vivencio Ballano
Pope Francis appears to be fully welcoming the LGBTQI community in the Catholic Church in his media interviews and writings. However, a closer sociological analysis would reveal that he remains conservative in his moral doctrine and resistant to LGBTQI inclusivity with his continued subscription to the Church's natural law morality. This book argues that unless the Catholic Church updates its natural law moral framework and incorporates the inductive theological approach and sociological theory and research method on sexuality, gender, and gender diversity, Francis's moral dilemma between upholding official moral doctrines and accepting the LGBTQI Catholics unconditionally in the Catholic Church could never be resolved. This book proposes some alternatives for the full integration of the gay community in the Church that apply the sociological-synodal moral framework.
