Abuses in the Religious Life and the Path to Healing
As we explore the implications of Safeguarding more resources come to hand. Here is a worthwhile book to read entitled, Abuses in the Religious Life and the Path to Healing by Dom Dysmas de Lassus. Sexual abuse is not the only mistreatment practiced in the Church. There is also spiritual abuse. Brother Dysmas, Carthusian master, patron of the hermits, comes out of his silence to denounce the unacceptable behavior of religious superiors and founders of communities. Rooted in the monastic tradition and the robust theology of religious life, Father presents elements that will assist everyone in evaluating the dangers of certain spiritual practices and methods of community government.
