Description

In The Unspeakable Vice, Francesco Torchiani explores the evolving relationship between the Catholic Church and homosexuality throughout the twentieth century. As gay men and lesbian women gained increased visibility in film, literature, and political movements, the Church's stance shifted. This history tracks the transition from overt moral condemnation toward a period of tacitly shunning homosexuality as an unspeakable vice. Part of the George L. Mosse Series in the History of European Culture, Sexuality, and Ideas, this monograph provides a detailed reconstruction of shifting institutional attitudes. Torchiani utilizes a vast array of internal documents and external accounts to reveal how the Church responded to changing social landscapes. This work is an essential resource for those studying religious history, European culture, and the history of sexuality.
