The Priest’s Sexuality (Janusz Stanisław Pasierb’s Case)

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the issues of sexuality in the works of Janusz Stanisław Pasierb, a Polish Catholic priest and poet. It turns out that in the case of a Catholic priest, the duty of celibacy does not mean the denial of sexuality. Celibacy is considered a kind of sublimation, in which eros transforms into agape, but also indicates sacrifice – the drama of a solitary life. Pasierb’s poetry often appears, not excluding the erotic connotations, the motif of “the entry of God into human life”, which is both ecstatic and traumatic. God marks the body of a priest with a painful stigma.
