Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-29 00:00:00 Lorant Veress This book was written in 1875 by a former Roman Catholic priest who had served for twenty five years in this position. As one who is not from the Roman church the whole idea of the confessional seems so terrible and wrong at the best of times. This book was certainly eye opening in regards to the confessional, and just how degrading it is and has been to most people, but especially to women. This former priest brought out that in the confessional the priest would ask the deepest and darkest secrets of a person, and even wanting every detail of the sexual experiences, and even their sexual thoughts. According to the author many women and priests have been brought to sexual degradation, and lusts as a result of the activity within the confessional. He said that many women have also entered into sexual affairs with Roman priests because of these talks in the confessional. Certainly the entire book was illuminating of this situatIon. I do feel this former priest elaborated more than he needed to with examples of this and could have effectively covered everything he had to say even cutting out as much as half of the book. |
