McNEILL, JOHN

John McNeill was a Jesuit Priest who was silenced by the Vatican after his first book, ”The Church and the Homosexual”, was published with the approval of the Jesuit order. After refraining from publication for several years, McNeill eventually left the priesthood to pursue a career as an independent theologian , spiritual director, writer and psychotherapist. For some impressive testimonials to his contribution to queer theology and LGBT mental health, see the collection of essaysforming the second half of his latest book, ”Sex as God Intended”.
