Sexualidade humana, teoria do gender e perspetivas teológicas

Abstract

This dissertation is the result of a consistent study on human sexuality according to moral theology, the Holy Scripture, human sciences and gender theory which seeks to establish the basis and identity of catholic views concerning the contemporary matter of gender and its hermeneutics on human sexuality, which are incompatible with the judeochristian thought. Considering the promotion of the conceptual reconfiguration of the terms «sex» and «gender» and the proactive defense of homosexuality and of other equally polemic moral questions, it has become imperative to clarify the basis on which catholic thought rests. Therefore, this thesis has as its primary objective the defense of heterosexuality as a prototype for human sexuality considering three viewpoints: anthropological, theological, and sociological.
