The Celibates review by Kavanaugh and priestly scandal
A critical take on The Celibates by John Kavanaugh, praising Father Andrew Greeley style but finding the plot dull and unpersuasive. The novel, set mainly in Michigan, follows Ted Santek, a hard drinking priest, and his circle, including Gerry Beauvais and Angie. The review notes Kavanaugh uses celibacy critique as a central theme and questions the work’s entertainment value.
