A. W. Richard Sipe is currently devoted full time to research into the sexual and celibate practices of Roman Catholic bishops and priests. That path now leads him to the study of the sexual teaching of the church and its effects on behavior—especially sexual abuse of minors by clergy—and the tangle of sexual problems that some people claim are blocking every religious agenda and destroying beyond repair the credibility of the Catholic Church in sexual matters.

This website is the result of years of research and provides an opportunity for serious discussion of problems highlighted by the sexual abuse and betrayal of minors at the hands of trusted clergy. It is frequently updated with information, commentary and an invitation to dialogue about human sexuality and the Roman Catholic Church.
