| Summary: | In recent decades, the Catholic community and society as a whole have been faced with the issue of sexual scandals involving priests. Episodes involving minors are especially worrying, considering that, in theory, the Church should be a space that provides welcome and security for both its faithful and its employees. In this area, reflections and propositions concerning sexual education in the priestly context emerge as urgent matters. Ignoring these problems is an inefficient attitude, which tends to increase cases and drive Catholics away from religious life. The book by professor Elismar Alves dos Santos, entitled Seminar and Sexuality: ethical-moral education in priestly formation, stands out as an indispensable reference on the topic in question. |
