It is an undeniable truth that there has been an identity crisis among the Catholic priests since the Second Vatican Council.1 There are several reasons for this crisis. There has been a move in the Church to secularize the clergy and to clericalise the laity. The crisis of priestly identity is also partly due to a wrong understanding of the two ways of participating in the priesthood of Christ, the ministerial and the common priesthood.2 There are also a number of other factors that have contributed to the crisis in priestly identity, some of which are examined extensively in the second volume of the Utume Theological e-Journal.
