<![CDATA[This research focuses on a phenomenological study of the gender struggles of seminary candidates. Sexuality and celibacy have been the subject of ongoing debate and research in religious contexts, particularly in Catholicism, where celibacy is an important part of the spiritual life of priests and priesthood candidates.
