Interesting New Paper

Thought some MOJ readers would be interested in this new paper:  Victor C. Romero, An "Other" Christian Perspective on Lawrence v. Texas.  (The paper will appear in the Journal of Catholic Legal Studies, Vol. 45, No. 1, 2005 (formerly The Catholic Lawyer).  Here's the abstract:

The so-called "Religious Right's" reaction to Lawrence v. Texas has been both powerful and negative, characterizing the case as an assault on the traditional conception of marriage and family life. This essay is an attempt to present a different Christian view. Modeled on the life and teachings of Jesus, this perspective celebrates the Lawrence case as consistent with God's call to social justice for the oppressed. It also outlines a Christian sexual ethic that lifts up genuine, monogamous, committed love between two individuals, whether of the same or opposite sex.
