Catechism on Homosexuality

Valentin Pozaić ; Filozofski fakultet Družbe Isusove, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

In the current debate on the nature and the evaluation of the occurrence and the practice of homosexuality, fundamental views are presented as outlined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church in its conclusive and authoritative Latin version. Commencing with biblical-theological anthropology, natural law and the contemporary Magisterium, all of which lay the foundation upon which views in the Catechism are based, the author endeavours to elucidate and also to evaluate the issue of status/choice. Also, he discusses the numerous challenges imposed upon the conscience of the individual, the parent and legislative bodies in society, as well as the need of and guidelines for pastoral activity in this field.
