    • Abstract:
      The article presents a letter written by married priest Tom McMahon in 1999 which provides an overview of his time as a priest and what led to his disillusion with clericalism and the church. McMahon relates that he was ordained for the Archdiocese of San Francisco in California on June 11, 1954 and adds that his first assignment was in a suburb of Oakland. He also claims that seminary destroyed priests emotionally.
