Spoiled Priest Biography Paperback Book by Gabriel Longo Bantam Books 1967

WHY DO ONE OUT OF FIVE PRIESTS LEAVE THE PRIESTHOOD? 

GABRIEL LONGO IS NOT A STATISTIC. 

HE IS A MAN. HE WAS A PRIEST.

AND THIS IS HIS ASTONISHINGLY FRANK STORY...

SPOILED PRIEST

Gabriel Longo tells of fifteen years of preparation for and working in the priesthood-of life at the all boys' school, Seton Hall, followed by the seminary, where there were men called "flits," and mattress pads called "score sheets," and shocking messages from the inmates of the Good Shepherd Home for wayward girls. 

He tells of life as a priest -the privilege and the power, the forbidden fantasies and transgressions- of how some priests regard their parishoners, and of his own tormented secret life. 

In a powerful dramatization of the Catholic Church's great contemporary dilemma, an ex-priest tells all. 

Book is in acceptable condition. General shelf and corner wear. Some crease marks on front and back cover. Fraying along cover edges. Staining on the front and back cover. The area near the spine feels lumpy, I presume water damage. A solid reading copy. Please see photos for details, and let me know if you have any questions.
