A psychologist, former priest, and one of the leading thinkers in Catholicism today addresses one of the most compelling yet undiscussed issues in the Church: human sexuality.
'The Unhealed Wound' is an insightful study of the unresolved conflicts Catholics face regarding their sexuality and their spirituality - conflicts which become greater as they continue to go unaddressed within the Church. With and unflinching eye, Eugene Kennedy astutely yet respectfully takes to task a church that condemns birth control, marriage for priests and sex outside marriage. He examines the formidable hierarchy of the church, challenging clerics who uphold papal edicts unthinkingly.
Articulately postulating the human need not only to understand but also to celebrate our own sexuality, 'The Unhealed Wound' will no doubt engender healing dialogue amongst Catholics.
