Drawing on the author's unusual background as a seminarian turned
scientist and business executive, Boys of the Cloth presents a
unique analysis of the sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church.
The book combines a first-hand account of seminary life during the
1960s-a period that turns out to be crucial for understanding the
crisis-with explorations of the history of the seminary system,
current scientific knowledge about abusive behavior, and the
Church's own investigations into the "epidemic" of abuse by its
priests. Through the interplay between these topics, two
paradoxical conclusions emerge. First, that the epidemic was caused
by an ancient reform intended to eradicate rather than encourage
clerical corruption. Second, that it was reversed by modern Church
policies with no obvious connection to sexual abuse. Boys of the
Cloth will transform your understanding of predatory behavior by
priests and of measures that will be crucial to prevent it.
