This project is a research study about the disease of alcoholism in clergy based on personal experience, study at Andover Newton Theological School, and questionnaire results from Alumni of Guest House who are all Roman Catholic clergy. It describes how alcoholism is a shared disease, affecting not only the identified alcoholics but also the systems to which they belong. Using family systems theory, the study suggests parallels between family and church. It shows that just as a family in the process of maintaining stability incorporates dysfunctional behavior, so too does the church. The church, like the family, accommodates and creates the atmosphere where alcoholism among clergy continues and grows.
