Higgins : Sexual Ethics
Consequentialist: Uses consequences to determine right or wrong action
Non- Consequentialist: Consequences do not matter. Right and Wrong are determined outside of consequences (Utility, Duty, Objective Reasoning, Natural Moral Law etc….)
Mixed Consequentialist: Looks at Consequences but only in light of, or in conjunction with another form of moral reasoning.
Catholic Theological Society : Human Sexuality
School of though on Homosexuality:
Differentiate between orientation and activity
School 1: condemns both activity and orientation
School 2: condemns activity not inclination
School 3: compromise position, base on if orientation is irreversible or not
School 4: evaluates sexual activity on quality of relationship
Catholic teaching today is in the School 2 thought.
