Description:
A few years back, Continuum published In The Closet of the Vatican. Frederic Martel s reporting exposed the hypocrisy of the Church and especially its cardinals on homosexuality. He reckoned that something like 70% of Vatican officials were gay and many of them living (fairly) openly with partners. There were tales of gay orgies and priests being so badly paid that they took to male prostitution to earn a living.
The Church today has had to face up to the huge progress made on LGBT issues in society and can no longer sweep it under the carpet. James Alison s book is a serious, nuanced, but ultimately deeply radical attempt to re-orientate our scriptural understanding of homosexuality. It is an attempt, as per his subtitle, to allow the church to move on.
He does this by revisiting the biblical texts. Many believe that the Bible is clear. All homosexual activity is forbidden. Alison, who knows Greek and Hebrew, proves in this book that this is not the case. The meaning of the biblical texts is far more subtle and enlightening. In that sense he is following on from a revolution in theology which is exemplified by the documentary 1946. It may well be that the bible doesn t forbid homosexuality at all.
The Catechism (also published by Bloomsbury Continuum) says that homosexuality is intrinsically disordered in human beings. Alison shows why this is absurd.

Would be great if it was $10
Color: Gold
Feels like cardboard. I had one of these years ago .. but this style is hard to find. The quality is cheap. Not worth the price.

even nicer than I expected
Color: Gold
Perfect! Looks much more expensive than it costs. Looks exactly like the photos and feels just like it looks like it would. I absolutely love how spacious it is because most clutches can barely hold my phone let alone a pair of reading glasses and some lip balm.
The color is absolutely gorgeous and exactly as it was shown. The zipper is quality the tassel is darling I love the fold over and a good strong magnetic clasp. The little shoulder chain is perfect whether you choose to use it or put it back in the bag.

Lovely
Color: Bronze
Very pretty clutch. I would really say this is a pretty large clutch. Soft! It comes with a metal chain, that I won't use. The tassel is a nice touch. This is not so formal that you couldn't wear it with jeans for a punch. I bought it with the Nine West Feather pump - bronze. They compliment so well! This is "cracked" and the shoes are not. But I'd still highly encourage pairing them. You could use this for a formal or create a smashing jeans outfit. Either way, just beautiful.
