A discourse on the beliefs of two Catholic priests regarding homosexuality analyzed in the context of political deliberation

Abstract

This study provides the Vatican's current teaching on homosexuality based on the responses of two Priests and analyzes them on how they affect political deliberations on the topic. A majority of the paper is dedicated to explaining the theory of political deliberation. The latter parts of the paper combine the Priest's responses with the theory to determine what kind of deliberation occurs within the church.
