Two principles capture the essence of the Catholic tradition on
sexual ethics: that each and every marriage act must remain open to
the transmission of life, and that any human genital act must occur
within the framework of marriage. In the Catholic tradition, moral
sexual activity is institutionalized within the confines of
marriage and procreation, and sexual morality is marital morality.
But theologians Todd Salzman and Michael Lawler contend that there
is a disconnect between many of the Church's absolute sexual norms
and other theological and intellectual developments explicitly
recognized and endorsed in the Catholic tradition, especially since
the Second Vatican Council. These developments include the shift
from a primary static worldview to a historically conscious
worldview, one that recognizes reality as dynamic, evolving,
changing, and particular. By employing such a historically
conscious worldview, alternative claims about the moral legitimacy
of controversial topics such as contraception, artificial
reproduction, and homosexual marriage can faithfully emerge within
a Catholic context. Convinced of the central role that love,
desire, and fertility play in a human life, and also in the life of
Christian discipleship, the authors propose an understanding of
sexuality that leads to the enhancement of human sexual
relationships and flourishing. This comprehensive introduction to
Catholic sexual ethics - complete with thought-provoking study
questions at the end of each chapter - will be sure to stimulate
dialogue about sexual morality between Catholic laity, theologians,
and the hierarchy. Anyone seeking a credible and informed Catholic
sexual ethic will welcome this potentially revolutionary book.
