A seminal text in this area.

Grammick and Furey's The Vatican and Homosexuality is one of the key seminal texts that every person should read, in order to understand the Catholic Church views on Homosexuality and from it, where the Church's views on HIV/AIDS and their entire theological stance eminate. For their work with people living with HIV/AISA and their work with the dispossessed and marginalised, Grammick and Furey were given a choice by the Vatican - stop writing or face ecclesial censure. A typical reaction by a Church which didn't want to get involved with the undeserving poor.
