Consultation on
``HUMAN FORMATION OF PRIESTS``--Challenges in Asian Context
at the Salesian Retreat House, Hua Hin, Thailand, 15-19 May 2006, organized by Federation of Asian Bishops` Conference`s Office of Clergy.
Abstract:
There is greater acknowledgment today of the sexual difficulties and problems priests face and the need to have formation programmes that assist candidates to integrate their sexuality and their celibate calling. This paper outlines some of these difficulties and problems and specific helping interventions that can be used to facilitate this integration. It emphasises the importance of the quality of the helper`s presence, his attitudes toward sexuality and the sex offender, capacity to listen sensitively, and relate empathically, as well as his competence in the helping skills.
