| Abstract | "Drawing upon Scripture, tradition, history, theology and empirical evidence, Helen Alvar̐ue frames a thorough response to current US laws' attempts to impose the moral norms of the sexual revolution upon Catholic institutions. Taking full account of the relevant objections to the Catholic Church's teachings as they apply in institutions such as Catholic schools, hospitals, and social services, it argues for the "ecclesial nature" of these organizations. It summarizes the empirical evidence supporting the link between personnel decisions and mission, and between Catholic sexual responsibility norms and human flourishing, and it grounds Catholic sexual responsibility teachings in the same love of God and neighbor that animate the existence, operations, and services of Catholic institutions. In so doing, it charts a future for Catholic institutions in the United States and in other countries with similar legalization in the area of sexuality"-- Provided by publisher. |
