Former Catholic priest Christopher Schiavone (skee-ah-VONE-ay)

He talks about living as a closeted homosexual in the priesthood, finally having an affair with a man, going into therapy and then leaving the ministry. All this occurred by 1992, years before the sexual abuse scandal. Schiavone wrote about his experience in an article in the December 8, 2002 issue of the Boston Globe Magazine. (www.boston.com/globe/)(This interview continues into the second half of the show.)
