Chapter 3 Homosexuality, Same-Sex Union, and LGBTQI Inclusivity in the Catholic Church -- Chapter 4 Reappraising Gender Complementarity and Heterosexual Marriage in the Catholic Church. 330 $aThis book employs an experimental approach to critically re-examine the Catholic Church?s traditional teachings on homosexuality, heterosexual marriage, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersexual (LGBTQI) inclusivity in light of Pope Francis?s inductive synodal theology and modern sociology. With the growing complexity of today?s culture and the advancement of social science research, it argues that the empirical foundations of the traditional Church?s doctrines on topical moral issues need to be scientifically re-assessed, so as to update them in view of Francis?s synodality and sociological research on gender, sexuality, and same-sex union. Discussion pertaining to whether homosexuality is naturally disordered and whether heterosexuality is the only criterion for Christian marriage remain lingering empirical issues in the Church that require a sociological and inductive synodal analysis, rather than the traditional deductive philosophical and theological method that is largely based on natural law theory. This topical book is of appeal to scholars and students of sociology, theology, as well as religious, biblical, and gender studies. 606 $aSex 606 $aReligion and sociology 606 $aEthics 606 $aChristianity 606 $aCatholicism 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aSexuality Studies 606 $aSociology of Religion 606 $aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics 606 $aChristianity 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aReligion and sociology. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aChristianity. 615 14$aCatholicism. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aSexuality Studies. 615 24$aSociology of Religion. 615 24$aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics. 615 24$aChristianity. 676 $a282 700 $aBallano$b Vivencio O$01062378 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910881089403321 996 $aLGBTQI Inclusivity, Homosexuality, and Same-Sex Marriage in the Catholic Church$94207172 997 $aUNINA
