\"\"<\/td>\nREVIEW by Rev. Richard Rohr, O.F.M.
\nDirector, Center for Action and Contemplation<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a moral theologian, but that does not prevent me from admiring the easy-to-read stories and analysis in Milavec\u2019s book. \u00a0I come away inspired.\u00a0 Milavec demonstrates step-by-step how he learned to welcome same-sex couples into his parish family following in the footsteps of Jesus.\u00a0 I recommend this path to everyone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/td>\nREVIEW by Dr. Joseph J. Martos<\/p>\n

Milavec combines personal experience with academic scholarship to present a convincing case that same-sex relationships can be healthy and wholesome for individuals, their families and society.\u00a0. . .\u00a0 Especially revealing are the parallels he draws between Christian dogmatists, Muslim fundamentalists such as the Taliban, and the Pharisees described in the gospels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/td>\nREVIEW by Daniel C. Maquire, S.T.D.
\nProf. of Moral Theology, Marquette University (Milwaukee)<\/p>\n

This book is an honest, THOROUGHLY CATHOLIC look at the beauty and legitimacy of same-sex love and marriage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/td>\nREVIEW by Barbara J. Aguilar, L.P.N.
\nNurse, mother of two missionaries, guardian of abused dogs<\/p>\n

I already knew my feelings on the LGBT issue, but after reading Dr. Milavec’s book, my eyes and heart were opened even wider. . . . Great job, Aaron, God bless you and thank you for standing up for what you know is right.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\nREVIEW by Mary E. Hunt, Ph.D.
\nCo-director, Women\u2019s Alliance for Theology, Ethics and\u00a0Ritual (WATER)<\/p>\n

The world needs all the queer-positive information it can get. This volume by a Catholic theologian adds personal stories, cases of unjust treatment, insights into sexual behavior, all of which are lacking in church teachings on LGBTIQIA lives.\u00a0\u00a0 Read it for insight and inspiration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/td>\nREVIEW by Rev. Tony Flannery, C.S.S.R.
\nCo-founder of the [Irish] Association of Catholic Priests (ACP)<\/p>\n

This book is very timely.\u00a0 While the hierarchy uses words like “welcome” and “accompaniment” in relation to LGBT people, our bishops still do incalculable harm by failing to openly challenge the offensive language and the imposition of celibacy that comes with Cardinal Ratzinger’s doctrine of homosexuality.\u00a0 Until the hierarchy sets their own house in order, their official teaching will inevitably be received as meaningless and empty. \u00a0Milavec expertly shows pastors and parents what needs to be done in all of these areas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
