I did not expect my views to be changed when I read this book. I considered myself to be slightly troubled by but loyal to the sexual teachings of the church, and I read this book so that I could better dialogue with a friend who was having trouble with those issues and wondered if he could still be Catholic. As I read Curran's careful defense of his positions, his explanation of the role of the theologian and the Magisterium, his thorough historical backing, and the treatment he was subjected to, I felt all the vague ideas I had crystallize and I had no choice but to see that issues were way more complicated than I thought, and that Curran's "dissent" is not so radical at all, and that if we want to grow as a Church we cannot dismiss him! I was impressed with the value he places on the human person, his dedication to academic thoroughness, and his loyalty to his friends and supporters. I think this book should be required reading for moral theology courses. I graduated from a Catholic college, and I had NO IDEA about any of these thoughts. I'm sure that's how they wanted it, but read this book and you will see that to censor this man's views is ridiculous!
