Pope Francis vs. the Secret Vatican "Gay Lobby"
Gossip was swirling around the Vatican at the time of Pope Benedict’s abdication that he was resigning because a “gay scandal” was about to break which would implicate high ranking members of the curia. Now Pope Francis has spoken openly about a “gay lobby.” The Huffington Post reports his comments in a meeting with members of the Latin American Caribbean Confederation of Religious Men and Women:
"Yes, it is difficult. In the curia there are holy people, truly holy people. But there is also a current of corruption, also there is, it is true... they speak of a 'Gay Lobby' and that is true, it is there... we will have to see what we can do..."
The existence of a significant number of homosexual men in the Catholic priesthood has been discussed openly for some time. Michael Rose’s 2002 book Goodbye Good Men shocked many Catholics by exposing the rampant homosexual subculture within American seminaries.
It may prove more difficult than he thinks. The “lavender mafia” in American seminaries had become blatant. Seminary professors were not only engaged in homosexual relationships, but they were advocating “gay rights” and actively promoting homosexual choices. There were plenty of witnesses and evidence. It was comparatively easy, therefore, to weed out the problem.
The situation in the Vatican is likely to be far more secretive. There may be active homosexual clergy and staff working in the Vatican, but it is unlikely that they are gay campaigners. Instead, if there is a “gay lobby” it is far more likely to be akin to an insider’s club. Homosexuality itself will never be mentioned. All will be communicated with a wink and a nudge. Plum appointments will be awarded to favorites, peccadilloes will be swept under the carpet, and a blind eye will be turned towards sexual indiscretion.
