A Catechism of the Heart

History & Biography

“For those who want to understand how Catholic teachings on homosexuality and celibacy impact the lived experiences of faithful people, Benjamin Brenkert's A Catechism of the Heart is 'must' reading. How does a gay man answer God's call to apostleship? How do family and church nurture his vocation? Brenkert follows God's call where it leads him, to love and serve, as his authentic self--not in spite of the Jesuits and the Catholic Church, but because of them.”
