Ive written this book to give voice to the thousands of hidden voices in the Catholic Church that feel the way I do and to give hope, albeit just a little, to those who struggle with the Catholic Churchs stance on homosexuality. What follows are some of my reflections on what it means to negotiate life as a gay priest in the Catholic Church, to struggle with self and hierarchy, and to move from silence and shame to hope and forgiveness.

This book was released on 1993. Chosen available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "There have always been gay priests in the Church, but attitude to them and understanding of their situation have varied over the centuries. This book will move many readers and scandalize others. In it, British Roman Catholic priests and seminarians who also happen to be homosexual share thoughts, feelings and experiences about being a gay man in a Church which condemns homosexuality as "disordered." We learn about their attitudes to their sexuality and Church teaching; their struggles with celibacy and how they survived; their time at seminary and how they integrate their sexuality and their vocation. The stories, told under altered names to ensure that the men will be safe from reproach, cry out for the Catholic Church to face up to the reality of the live and ministry of gay priests. The book offers guidelines for the training and pastoral care needed by such men in the future to help them continue to function as healthy and effective priests"--Page 4 of cover.

Download and read online ebook Gay and Catholic write by Eve Tushnet. This book was released on 2014-10-20. Gay and Catholic available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Winner of a 2015 Catholic Press Award: Gender Issues Category (First Place). In this first book from an openly lesbian and celibate Catholic, widely published writer and blogger Eve Tushnet recounts her spiritual and intellectual journey from liberal atheism to faithful Catholicism and shows how gay Catholics can love and be loved while adhering to Church teaching. Eve Tushnet was among the unlikeliest of converts. The only child of two atheist academics, Tushnet was a typical Yale undergraduate until the day she went out to poke fun at a gathering of philosophical debaters, who happened also to be Catholic. Instead of enjoying mocking what she termed the “zoo animals,” she found herself engaged in intellectual conversation with them and, in a move that surprised even her, she soon converted to Catholicism. Already self-identifying as a lesbian, Tushnet searched for a third way in the seeming two-option system available to gay Catholics: reject Church teaching on homosexuality or reject the truth of your sexuality. Gay and Catholic: Accepting My Sexuality, Finding Community, Living My Faith is the fruit of Tushnet’s searching: what she learned in studying Christian history and theology and her articulation of how gay Catholics can pour their love and need for connection into friendships, community, service, and artistic creation.
