| Summary: | "The Last Heresy" examines how some church traditions have systematically misinterpreted Bible passages to persecute gays because of their machismo-sexist bias against gays. These churches are guilty of heresy, contradicting Christianity's true Gospel of love and grace, and must answer for the resulting bloodshed and persecution of gays from Uganda to our own school playgrounds. Thankfully, some churches are solemnizing gay unions using Bible based liturgies while others are performing dehumanizing repairative therapy -- often resulting in suicide of their victims. What is the real story of Sodom? "The Last Heresy" casts a revealing light on controversial scriptural passages such as Leviticus, Genesis and Paul's writings. The errors in the Catholic Church's doctrine about gays are also analyzed in the Chuch's philosophical arguments found in its teachings about homosexuals. The purpose of the book is to change the conversation about gays from pleading for their equal rights to condemning the churches who are responsible for the murder and persecution of gays around the world.--Publisher. |
