God's Works Revealed presents a compelling, challenging, and joyful
vision for living as a lesbian, gay, or bisexual Catholic today by
accepting the divine gift of our sexuality and seeking to live the
promises of our baptism. It draws from the deep well of traditional
theology, Catholic teaching, and Sacred Scripture while also
challenging assumptions that exclude LGB Catholics from the
possibility of sexual expression, married life, and participation
in the life of the Church. "Informed by theology and formed by the
worship of the Church, Albano...engages in serious study and draws
on some of the best thought on scripture and natural law theology
that has formed his Church's teaching on homosexuality and
homosexual actions. He presents not so much a dismissal of what the
Church teaches as a critical engagement with that teaching that
will point out its insufficiencies and calls for further refinement
and reflection. He insists that his experience and that of other
gay and lesbian Catholics be taken seriously." -from the foreword
"After more than fifty years of ministry on behalf of LGBT
Catholics, I have seen considerable developments in Christian
understandings about sexuality and gender, which are challenging
topics for politicians and Catholics alike. Written from the heart
of a faith-filled Catholic gay man who is not a politician, these
pages push sexual politics aside and speak to our heads and hearts
in a sensible and compelling way. We'll see with new eyes the gifts
that persons of various sexual orientations bring to the Church. I
recommend this book for all the people of God who are walking the
path of synodality with Pope Francis." -Jeannine Gramick, SL,
author, and cofounder of New Ways Ministry for LGBT Catholics
"God's Works Revealed offers a respectful, well-argued critique of
official teachings on homosexuality and the impact on the physical
and spiritual lives of LGBTQI people. It is a deeply loving,
thoughtful, and ultimately, hopeful dialogue between a gay Catholic
and the Church that could open pathways to needed change. Here, you
will find truths that speak to your soul." -Marianne Duddy-Burke,
executive director of DignityUSA Sam Albano is a writer, educator,
and member of the LGBTQI Catholic community. He currently serves as
the national secretary of DignityUSA, the oldest and largest
organization of LGBTQI Catholics.
