Confessions of a gay priest : a memoir of sex, love, abuse, and scandal in the Catholic seminary / Tom Rastrelli. - Iowa City : University of Iowa Press, 2020. - 323 pages ; 22 cm

"A sexual abuse survivor unapologetically confesses the intimate workings of the Catholic seminary, celibacy and priesthood during an era of sexual scandal and exposes how priests are "formed" to perpetuate a cycle of abuse where truth is relative, chastity is a myth, and powerful men will stop at nothing to silence those who speak the truth"--Provided by publisher.
