Bøger af Dysmas De Lassus

Sexual abuse is not the only mistreatment practiced in the Church. There is also spiritual abuse. Dysmas de Lassus, Carthusian master, patron of the hermits, comes out of his silence to denounce the unacceptable behavior of religious superiors and founders of communities. Rooted in the monastic tradition and the robust theology of religious life, the author presents elements for a diagnosis that may permit us to measure the dangers of certain spiritual practices and methods of community government. He makes a positive contribution to achieving the broad equilibrium that nourishes personal and community growth, in the respect of individuals and the Catholic tradition. Speaking out for the first time in defense of the millennial tradition of spiritual life, he denounces an era of mental abuse in the Church and in the world. A free and liberating guide for all and an edifying plunge into abuse within religious orders.
