Summary: Please, stop your hate of gays and lesbians!!!
Comment: There is no science, and no evidence to support the belief that gays can change their sexual orientation. Trust me, I know many of them, they were born that way and knew they were gay, usually by age 10.
For those that want to believe lies, there will always be people such as the author of this book to make money tell people who hate what they want to hear. Please, please, please stop supporting them, even if you disagree with homosexuality, is there no better use of your time and money than supporting the anti-gay agenda as represented by this book?
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent but disturbing!
Comment: I strongly reccomend to read this book. It is a continuation of father Harveys earlier book:"The homosexual person: new thinking in pastoral care". The immense knowledge and experience contained in these both books are a fruit of many years of father Harvey's ministry among persons with homosexual leanings. These are "THE BOOKS". Short, comprehensive, informative non judgmental. With love without unnecesseary and evil passions or bigotry. A work of a saint.

Summary: Review of "Truth about Homosexuality"
Comment: Fr. Harvey has been involved in ministry to homosexual people long before such ministry was "popular," and for this he deserves credit. However, he deserves little credit for the contents of this book. He does set forth the official teaching of the Catholic Church on homosexual orientation and homosexual activity correctly, but this is a minor part of the book. The bulk of it is dedicated to his own views on homosexuality, and most of the time he does not make clear whether he is talking about his views or the official position of the Church. According to Harvey, homosexuality is a psychological disorder, and he believes that sexual orientation can be changed, or at least that one can "advance" towards heterosexuality. This view goes against that of the American Psychiatric Association, which Harvey dismisses as being overly influenced by the gay rights agenda. Incidentally, he does not believe in civil rights for gays and lesbians. I found the book to be very one-sided, if not outright biased. Harvey makes sweeping generalizations from authors he agrees with, and accepts their conclusions with little criticism, while he nitpicks with those he disagrees with. If you already agree with his position, you will like this book. However, it is not for those who are more open-minded or want to form an opinion based on reading both sides of the issue. Instead of reading Harvey's book, I would recommend Richard Peddicord, O.P.'s book "Gay & Lesbian Rights: A Question: Sexual Ethics or Social Justice." It is much more scholarly, and therefore a little dry, but I think it gives a much more balanced view of the Catholic Church's position on and struggle with issues of homosexuality.
