Forming a Priestly Identity: Anthropology of Priestly Formation in the Documents of the VIII Synod of Bishops...

by Timothy Costello

This work seeks to identify and evaluate the anthropology implicit in the documents of the VIII Synod of Bishops and the post-synodal apostolic exhortation, "Pastores dabo vabis." The theory of self-transcendent consistency is used as a framework for exploring the kind of maturity required for priestly identity.
