La casta dei casti
by Marzano Marco, Marzano Marco, Marzano Marco
The clergy chastity has been discussed within the Catholic Church for centuries. At the beginning of the 21stcentury it is of crucial importance, not only because of the sexual scandals and the abuses on minors perpetrated in many dioceses all around the world, but out of a wider and impellent debate about bachelor itself. During many years of research Marco Marzano has collected many priests’ testimonies about their personal experiences, their sufferings, their solitude, doubts and certainties: we are now offered a big picture of a religious community open to the world but also forced to keep quiet and hide a part of their life instead of fully living it.
‘A merciless and brutal analysis, a book that will not fail to cause debate.’ DagoSpia
‘An original research that, without voyeurism but not even reticence, addresses the central issue of sexuality… Marzano’s research has the merit of analyzing in depth a field substantially unexplored.’ Luca Kocci, il manifesto
