Vice In German Monasteries: The Amazing Facts Regarding What Has Come To Be Known As Celibacy-Disease by Joseph McCabe is a book that explores the history of celibacy in German monasteries and the negative effects it had on the monks. The author presents a compelling argument that celibacy led to a host of psychological and physical problems, which he refers to as ""celibacy-disease."" Through extensive research and interviews with former monks, McCabe uncovers shocking stories of sexual depravity, abuse, and corruption within the monastic system. He also delves into the historical and cultural reasons for celibacy and its place in the Catholic Church. This book is a fascinating and eye-opening look at a little-known aspect of monastic life and the toll it takes on those who practice it.Contents: Hitler Rips Off The Lid, The Pious Sons Of St. Francis, The Second Month Of The Black Record, Clerical Odds And Ends, Brothers Of Mercy And Other Holy Men.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
