"Why did it take 30 years for American bishops to listen to the
victims of Catholic clerical abuse?" 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. The book's contributors, an eclectic mix of scholars
and clerics, question whether the church can survive centuries of
secrets and scandals. In the wake of very real concerns about a
possible inquisition launched by the Catholic Church against its
gay members, Gay Catholic Priests and Clerical Sexual Misconduct
continues the efforts of the Gay Men's Issues in Religion Group of
the American Academy of Religion to honor the work of Mark Jordan,
who contributes his thoughts on the issues raised by the book. A
panel of former Jesuits, a former seminarian with the Congregation
of the Blessed Sacrament, a Dominican, a Franciscan, and several
feminist authors present different perspectives on gay priests,
clerical/ecclesial misogyny, games of power and abuse, and
religious scapegoating, writing with eloquence and pain, a great
deal of pride, and a touch of justifiable divine righteousness. Gay
Catholic Priests and Clerical Sexual Misconduct includes:"Celibate
Men, Ambivalent Saints, and Games of Desire", "A Call to Liberation
of Gay Catholic Clergy", "Speaking Loud or Shutting Up: The
Homosexual-type Problem", "Those Troubling Gay Priests",
"Catholicism and a Crisis of Intimate Relations" and much more! Gay
Catholic Priests and Clerical Sexual Misconduct: Breaking the
Silence is an invaluable resource for academics, members of the
clergy, seminarians, chaplains and counselors, and anyone
interested in homosexuality and religion.
