Tom Rastrelli is a survivor of clergy-perpetrated sexual abuse who then became a priest in the early days of the Catholic Church’s ongoing scandals. Confessions of a Gay Priest divulges the clandes­tine inner workings of the seminary, providing an intimate and unapologetic look into the psychosexual and spiritual dynamics of celibacy and lays bare the “formation” system that perpetuates the cycle of abuse and cover-up that continues today.Under the guidance of a charismatic college campus minister, Rastrelli sought to reconcile his homosexuality and childhood sexual abuse. When he felt called to the priesthood, Rastrelli be­gan the process of “priestly discernment.” Priests welcomed him into a confusing clerical culture where public displays of piety, celibacy, and homophobia masked a closeted underworld in which elder priests preyed upon young recruits.From there he ventured deeper into the seminary system seeking healing, hoping to help others, and striving not to live a double life. Trained to treat sexuality like an addiction, he and his brother seminarians lived in a world of cliques, competition, self-loathing, alcohol, hidden crushes, and closeted sex. Ultimately, the “for­mation” intended to make Rastrelli a compliant priest helped to liberate him.

What a compelling story! Tom illustrates many universal themes of how well-meaning institutions and leaders become Instruments of pain. This story exposes how deeply flawed human beings are whether we lead or follow. I also learned a lot about the culture of the Catholic priesthood. Many questionable values are baked in to the whole system.Tom inspires me by the way he courageously serves others while being victimized. I appreciate his honest self-disclosures illustrating that there are many sides to any life story. Although I got angry at his church leaders, he made me examine the assumptions and values behind my own motivations and choices. His antagonists are not simplistic. You can't make snap judgements. His story is emotionally riveting and his reflections force the reader to think deeply about their our own "vocation" (calling). There are many take-aways from the book.This is a real page-turner. Be prepared to become hooked on it.
