It includes transcripts of the principal biblical texts that have served as theological and juridical support for the persecution of sodomites, whilst also examining the thinking of the theologians most distinguished in their condemnation of sodomy. It concludes with a list of the councils, popes and bishops who have stood out owing to their homophobia, as well as the contemporary manifestations of such intolerance.
