Description
"There have always been gay priests in the Church, but attitude to them and understanding of their situation have varied over the centuries. This book will move many readers and scandalize others. In it, British Roman Catholic priests and seminarians who also happen to be homosexual share thoughts, feelings and experiences about being a gay man in a Church which condemns homosexuality as "disordered." We learn about their attitudes to their sexuality and Church teaching; their struggles with celibacy and how they survived; their time at seminary and how they integrate their sexuality and their vocation. The stories, told under altered names to ensure that the men will be safe from reproach, cry out for the Catholic Church to face up to the reality of the live and ministry of gay priests. The book offers guidelines for the training and pastoral care needed by such men in the future to help them continue to function as healthy and effective priests"--Page 4 of cover.
