Gay Catholic Priests and Clerical Sexual Misconduct Breaking the Silence

Gay Catholic Priests and Clerical Sexual Misconduct: Breaking the Silence is a compelling indictment of Roman Catholic teachings on homosexuality and sexuality. Inspired by The Silence of Sodom: Homosexuality in Modern Catholicism, Mark Jordan's controversial examination of homoeroticism in American Catholic culture, this groundbreaking book examines how the current crisis of clerical abuse affects and stigmatizes gay priests living in a climate of hysteria and condemnation. Library Journal says this book is "TIMELY AND COMPELLING. . . . RECOMMENDED for academic and public libraries. . . . Hard-hitting, articulate, and characterized by a prophet's righteousness, these sound essays are ESSENTIAL READING FOR BOTH CLERGY AND LAITY trying to come to terms with the recent sex abuse scandals. . . . A wonderfully enlightened read."Boisvert, Donald L. is the author of 'Gay Catholic Priests and Clerical Sexual Misconduct Breaking the Silence', published 2005 under ISBN 9781560235378 and ISBN 1560235373.
