Book Review: Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega: The Creative Mutual Interaction of Theology and Science

that it is possible to understand complementarity properly only by beginning with the sexual person and his or her affective relationships—and here consideration of a person’s sexual orientation plays a decisive role. Whereas magisterial teaching has taken male-female genital complementarity to be a prerequisite for the possibility of affective complementarity and unitive sexual acts, S. & L. disagree by insisting that “the genitals are at the service of personal complementarity” (152). This move allows them to affirm some heterosexual and homosexual nonreproductive acts as “truly human” and thus moral (152). Their argument will surely be contested strenuously, but it represents an intelligent attempt to integrate the concept of sexual orientation into a comprehensive Catholic sexual ethic. S. & L. have written an engaging, well-researched book that handles extremely complicated and controversial questions in a nuanced and intellectually rigorous manner. It deserves serious attention from members of the church and the academy.
