Sacrilege: Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church

Sacrilege: Sexual Abuse In The Catholic Church is a rather large tome penned by Leon J. Podles concerning his years of research and study into the historical subject of sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church.

Podles draws on years of researching case reviews, court files, personal testimonies and statements from professionals when discussing his thoughts and ideas on what went wrong and how the Catholic Church can correct itself.

To sum things up, Podles posits that the mass sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church stems from its insistence on feminine virtues over masculine ones. He also believes that most of the priests guilty of pedophilia and Ephebophilia are suffering from Arrested Development caused by not developing their own sexuality. This, he believes, is the true root cause of the sexual abuse scandal.
