Schwester Margaret A. Farley sorgte mit ihrem Buch ›Just Love. A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics‹ für Aufregung im Vatikan, da sie eine moderne christliche Sexualmoral entwickelt. Sie behandelt Themen wie homosexuelle Beziehungen und Masturbation, die als unvereinbar mit der katholischen Theologie gelten. Ein wichtiges Werk für die Diskussion über Sexualität und Glauben.
This long-awaited book by one of American Christianity's foremost ethicists proposes a framework for sexual ethics whereby justice is the criterion for all loving, including love that is related to sexual activity and relationships. It begins with historical and cross-cultural explorations, then addresses the large questions of embodiment, gender, and sexuality, and finally delineates the justice framework for sexual ethics. Though Just Love 's particular focus is Christian sexual ethics, Farley's framework is broad enough to have relevance for multiple traditions. Also covered are specific issues in sexual ethics, including same-sex relationships, marriage and family, divorce and second marriage, celibacy, and sex and its negativities.
