| Summary: | Even though the data are unpersuasive on "the sexual revolution" in the general population, there is strong evidence that there has been a dramatic change in attitudes toward birth control and divorce among Roman Catholic clergy. The correlates of sexual "liberalism" among Catholic priests are age, "inner-direction," and modern religious values, explaining almost three-fifths of the variance among Catholic priests in sexual attitudes. It would appear that there are only very small differences between the clergy and the laity on these matters, but substantial differences between the clergy and the hierarchy. |
