With Listening Hearts: Understanding the Voices of Lesbian and Gay Catholics

Summary: An important read for ministers
Review: This is a very poignant and informative book for anyone in ministry (especially in the Catholic Church). Fr. Liuzzi is compassionate and creative in his approach, but clear and firm about the Catholic Church's position and limits. I don't agree with the church, but I certainly understand it better now.

Summary: Wonderful-- balanced, sensitive, and orthodox
Review: This is a wonderful book for anyone who has a friend or family member struggling with the reality of a homosexual orientation within the context of a Catholic spirituality and identity. It is very readable--you don't have to speak "vaticanese" to understand the theology explained. It is practical, it is affirming, and it gives insights into the stories of real people and their experiences. Books like this give me great hope.
