Summary/Abstract: Priests who, for whatever reason, have ceased their priestly service, present after some time their view of the Church, their experience with studies, and the description of the reasons of termination of their service. A study mapping the views of a group of such respondents seeks to identify topics that are relevant for further development of the work of the Church. The most important outcomes are the need to improve the theological formation of priesthood candidates, to practice priestly skills necessary for pastoral care, and to improve communication within the Church structure.
