Zusammenfassung:The first portion of this paper presents a literature review and sets out a course of investigation concerning retirement issues facing Roman Catholic priests. The second section summarizes the appropriateness of adapting Ruble and Seidman's (1996) model of transitions to the context of Roman Catholic priests. The third portion consists of a qualitative analysis of responses from retired priests (N = 68) that reveals themes supportive of the adopted model. The final segment notes additional research possibilities.
