Greeley, Andrew M. Priests: A Calling in Crisis
University of Chicago Press 2005 0226306453 / 9780226306452 Paperback Near fine n/a Paperback
New. Near fine in very slightly creased publisher's decorated wrappers. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Greeley, a professor of social science at two universities (Chicago and Arizona), draws upon the tools of his trade to challenge some stereotypes of the priesthood today, particularly in the wake of the sexual abuse crisis of 2002, which he acerbically calls "The Year of the Pedophile." He utilizes various sociological and psychological studies to demonstrate that priests are no less emotionally mature than other American males in their age groups-and that, in fact, they may enjoy more supportive and varied friendships than other men. He challenges the widespread stereotype that the priesthood is rife with homosexuals, noting that in a landmark Los Angeles Times survey of priests, only 16% identified themselves as homosexual. (Sociologists and statisticians may wonder at the reliability of data that is entirely self-reported but, as Greeley notes, these figures are the best we have.) Greeley also counters the stereotype of priests as unfulfilled "emotional wrecks" with evidence that they are actually more likely to report themselves as happy than are other males (and, interestingly enough, than Protestant clergy). With helpful tables, graphs and charts, this slim but opinionated volume should be required reading for students and reporters who are willing to look past sensational headlines to the more complex and nuanced picture beyond.

The mixture of humility and arrogance that is part of Greeley's appeal surfaces here when, referring to his sociological studies, Greeley says they are usually "not very good" but "the best there is on the subject" because no one else is doing what he does. He dismisses psychologists' studies of the priesthood, suggesting that psychological methods are inferior to sociological methods as bases for global interpretation. He dismisses former priests' and non-Catholics' studies, suggesting that they are biased (his are "empirical"). Be that as it may, the data underlying this book depict the Roman Catholic clergy as representative of the population as a whole. Priests are relatively satisfied in their work and no more or less sexually mature and self-fulfilled than other men. The greatest problem facing the priesthood, which Greeley locates in the institutional structure of the church, is disconnection from the concerns of the laity. In the end, he advises, "Clergy at all levels from the pope to the lowliest parish curate must be quiet and listen. And listen. And listen." Steven Schroeder Copyright ® American Library Association.
