Celibacy, Seminary Formation, and Catholic Clerical Sexual Abuse : Exploring Sociological Connections and Alternative Clerical Training
Does the current celibate semi-monastic and all-male seminary formation contribute to the persistence of clerical sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church? Applying sociological theories on socialization total institutions and social resistance as the primary conceptual framework and drawing on secondary literature media reports the author’s experience interviews and Church documents this book argues that the Catholic Church’s institution of the celibate seminary formation as the only mode of clerical training for Catholic priests has resulted in negative unintended consequences to human formation such as the suspension of normal human socialization in society psychosexual immaturity and weak social control against clerical sexual abuse. The author thus contends that celibate training while suitable for those who do live in religious or monastic communities is inappropriate for those who are obliged to live alone and work in parishes. As such an alternative model for diocesan clerical formation is advanced. A fresh look at the aptness – and effects – of celibate formation for diocesan clergy this volume is the first to relate the persistence of Catholic clerical sexual abuse to celibate seminary formation exploring the structural links between the two using sociological arguments and proposing an apprenticeship-based model of formation which has numerous advantages as a form of clerical training. It will therefore appeal to scholars and students of religion sociology and theology as well as those involved with seminary formation. | Celibacy Seminary Formation and Catholic Clerical Sexual Abuse Exploring Sociological Connections and Alternative Clerical Training
