1.16 PRIEST ABUSE, CHURCH ABUSE, CLERICAL ABUSE -- TYPES AND CATEGORIES OF ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR==== Priest Abuse, Church Abuse, Clerical Abuse MEANING: The abuse by priests or members of the church of young boys; this happened especially in the Catholic Church where priests were expected to be celibate. PERSONAL NOTE FROM RICK DOBLE: This scandal that has rocked the Catholic church may be a blessing in disguise. It has revealed that abuse can happen in virtually any setting, that it has been going on for years and has been ignored, and that people who suffered the abuse may be severely scared for the rest of their lives. This was a difficult lesson that the entire world needed to learn and to apply to other forms of abuse and to other settings. Teachers, for example, can be intellectually abusive and prevent talented students from pursuing career goals. === SNAP - The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests |
