Abstract

Joanna Tokarska-Bakir puts into analysis the main ideas of Eugen Drewermann expressed in his book Kleriker: Psychogramm eines ideals. She sets forth the sense of “total institution” – the main category used by Drewermann to characterize the essence of catholic church. According to Drewermann, catholic priests have been involved in struggling for political power rather than satisfying deep religious needs.
