The Screen Guide

PRIESTLY CRISIS looks at the controversial book 'The Changing Face of the Priesthood', by American psychologist and seminary rector Fr Donald Cozzens. In it he challenges the Roman Catholic Church to look squarely at the issues which are causing a crisis of numbers in the priesthood. In particular he cites a culture in the seminaries, which sees a disproportionate number of homosexually oriented candidates, as well as promoting immaturity and providing a lack of feminine role models. This program applies Cozzens' analysis and discussion to the Roman Catholic Church in Australia.
