Vatican criticises a pro-gay book by US nun

The Vatican has criticised sharply a 2005 book by a US theologian and nun on sexual ethics, where she defends gay rights and equal marriage.

The BBC reports that the Holy See’s Orthodoxy Office said that Sister Margaret Farley’s book, Just Love, posed ‘grave harm’ to the faithful, and that her ideas on masturbation, homosexuality, equal marriage and remarriage were in ‘direct contradiction’ to traditional Catholic teaching on sexual morality.

In addition, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has declared that her writings betrayed a ‘defective understanding of the objective nature of natural moral law.’

The Vatican has banned the use of the book by Catholic teachers, in a notification signed by the department head Cardinal William Levanda and approved by the Pope.
