In many countries today, alcoholism is becoming an increasingly common problem, the number of alcoholics is increasing, and the disease occurs in all professions and occupations. Therefore, it is important to talk about the increasing presence of alcoholism not only among lay believers but also among the clergy of the Catholic Church. The aim of this paper is to point out the causes of alcohol addiction and the consequences of alcoholism on the life and work of priests from the area of the Đakovo-Osijek Archdiocese. Based on the results of qualitative-quantitative research conducted using a survey questionnaire (9 priests), sampled using the »snowball« technique, this paper will, for the first time, talk about a problem that has not been discussed in the Croatian scientific community. The conducted research points to stressful events, loneliness, and mis-understanding of superiors and the environment as the main causes of alcoholism among priests.
Danas se u mnogim zemljama kao sve češći problem ističe alkoholizam, broj alkoholičara povećava se te se bolest javlja u svim zvanjima i zanimanjima. Stoga je važno progovoriti o sve prisutnijoj pojavi alkoholizma ne samo među vjernicima laicima nego i među klerom Katoličke Crkve. Cilj je ovoga rada upozoriti na uzroke ovisnosti o alkoholu te na posljedice alkoholizma na život i rad svećenika s područja Đakovačko-osječke nadbiskupije. Na temelju rezultata kvalitativno-kvantitativnoga istraživanja provedenoga metodom anketnoga upitnika na devet svećenika, uzorkovanih primjenom tehnike snježne grude, u ovome će se radu prvi put progovoriti o problemu o kojem se dosad nije progovaralo u hrvatskoj znanstvenoj zajednici. Provedeno istraživanje upozorava na stresne događaje, samoću i nerazumijevanje nadređenih i okoline kao glavne uzročnike alkoholizma među svećenicima.
