Description
Summary:he article focuses on how discourses about homosexuality penetrate the personal experience of those aware of their homoerotic desire. It discusses the experience of men who undertook priestly formation, later departed from the seminary studies, and today declare themselves as homo- or bisexual, the majority as Roman Catholics. It shows that at the threshold and during the formation, these men were influenced by the ideas about homosexuality promoted not only within the Roman Catholic Church, but also in the wider discursive space – and those have dynamically changed in Poland of the last decades. Correspondingly, the sexuality-related self-understanding of the study participants came into various, specific to a given historical moment, relationships with their vocation.
