Description

This scholarly work from Routledge explores the sociological connections between celibacy, seminary formation, and clerical sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church. By applying theories on socialization, total institutions, and social resistance, the book examines how current semi-monastic and all-male seminary training models may contribute to the persistence of abuse. Drawing on a wide range of evidence, including secondary literature, media reports, Church documents, and personal interviews, the author investigates the negative unintended consequences of maintaining celibacy as the sole mode of clerical training. This text provides a deep academic analysis of how institutional structures shape clerical behavior and offers a perspective on alternative training methods for Catholic priests.
