Inadequacies in Theological Methodology of book titled, The Sexual Person, by Salzman & Lawler (2010)

Inadequacies in the Theological Methodology and Conclusions of The Sexual Person: Toward a Renewed Catholic Anthropology by Todd A. Salzman and Michael G. Lawler   

Committee on Doctrine United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, September 15, 2010

The Committee on Doctrine wishes to make it clear that neither the methodology of The Sexual Person nor the 23 conclusions that depart from authoritative Church teaching constitute authentic expressions of Catholic theology.  Moreover, such conclusions, clearly in contradiction to the authentic teaching of the Church, cannot provide a true norm for moral action and in fact are harmful to one's moral and spiritual life. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, where we find a genuine systematic presentation of the faith, we look for that wisdom that reflects the words of everlasting life. The issues treated in The Sexual Person are indeed vital matters for the life of the Church in our time. They should be thoroughly studied and discussed by theologians as part of their service to the Church and to society.
