Summary
Details

Who is allowed to approach the altar - and what kind of love does the Church, as a place of grace, recognize? Nulla Exclusio discusses one of the most pressing theological questions of our time: Can a church that sees itself as a sign of unity, as the People of God, and as a space of universal grace permanently exclude same-sex couples from the sacramental recognition of their love before the altar? As long as the Church ties marriage to gender, reproductive logic, and biological compatibility, it moves closer to a eugenic logic of selection than it realizes. Nulla Exclusio lays bare this tension, challenges it, and asks the clergy to take a stand on the question of marriage: Does the Church bear witness to grace - or does it engage in an implicit selection of human love stories by biologically pre-screening membership? Where this occurs, the Gospel is no longer at the center, but rather a mindset of selection. Drawing on the Second Vatican Council, Scripture, tradition, natural law, sacramental theology, and canon law, this book unfolds a vision grounded in Catholic thought: opening marriage at the altar to all the baptized does not appear as a novelty or a break with the faith, but as a timely deepening of the Gospel's own sources. In doing so, the current state of Church teaching is taken seriously- precisely to make visible its internal tensions and the resulting urgent need for change. Between fidelity to tradition and hope for development, Nulla Exclusio asks whether the Catholic Church comes closer to its mission when it no longer tolerates faithful, responsible love on the margins, but visibly marries and blesses it before God and the congregation at the altar. ""Marriage for all at the altar"" is understood here not as a slogan, but as a theological promise - not a vision for some distant future, but an urgent mandate for the Church of today.
