The Dialogue That Didn't Happen

I don't think there's anything to be gained by rehearsing for MOJ readers my perspective on the to-and-fro that Mchael S. and I had this afternoon.  Michael S. has such a good heart.  I greatly admire Michael's work on immigration and his compassionate concern for immigrants.  But I reached the conclusion, this afternoon, that as a pair, Michael and I are probably not well suited to have a productive dialogue on human sexuality.  In any event, I know that I, at least, would almost certainly have nothing to say that hasn't already been better said by many others, including Sister Margaret Farley.

Some MOJ raders may be interested in this piece, which I published thirteen years ago:

Michael J. Perry, The Morality of Homosexual Conduct:  A Response to John Finnis, 9 Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics, and Public Policy 41 (1995).
