abstract="Research to date has accounted for the recent sexual scandal in the Roman Catholic Church primarily with attributions to the personal psychopathology of the individual offenders. This article reviews a portion of the data from the John Jay Study (2004) and a Supplementary Report (2006) that documents the sexual involvement of Roman Catholic clergy from 202 dioceses and 221 religious orders. Summary data dispel common misconceptions of psychopathology in priests. A majority of the incidents took place between 1960-1979 by priests who were ordained in their late 20s and committed their first offense in their mid-30s. These patterns suggest the need for a more complex conceptualization that accounts for the influence of Roman Catholic clerical socialization from 1950 to 1969 and the contemporaneous shifts in American culture.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
