The problem of clergy abuse – especially as regards celibate clergy – presented in the media leads us to asking about the reasons for the actions of the abusers. This article considers the hypothesis of the disintegration of sexual drive interpreted in an erroneous way. Partial concepts leading to incorrect strategical sexual attitude arise from negativistic, psychoanalytic and autocentric perceptions of sexual drive. In contrast, we highlight positive, personalistic and altrocentric definition of sexual drive as the only possible strategy and the only possible concept – integration of sexual drive in celibate state as the absolute condition for a total self-donating love to Christ.
