He traces the contours of this discrimination by using Francis's synodal theology as the primary conceptual framework along with sociological perspectives on gender, gender diversity, and morality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume aims to build sociological-synodal bridges for the full LGBTQI+ inclusion in the Catholic Church. It is sure to be valuable reading for church authorities, moral theologians, and LGBTQI+ leaders, as well as scholars and students of sociology, religion, theology, and gender studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vivencio O.
