NOT FOR the first time in recent months, an Italian media source yesterday revealed embarrassing details of a flourishing gay “scene” within the Holy See in Rome. Carmelo Abbate, an undercover reporter from weekly news magazine Panorama , provides in its latest issue graphic detail of a month-long series of gay parties and brief encounters in and around the Holy See, featuring openly gay priests.

As soon as this story hit the newsstands the Vicariate of Rome responded by calling on all priests who are leading such "double lives" to come out and leave the priesthood for the good of the Church community - and also it attacked the reporting of the story as well:
"the purpose of the article is obvious: to create scandal, defame all priests ... discredit the church and - in another way - put pressure on that part of the Church defined by them as 'intransigent, that strives not to face the reality' of homosexual priests."
Yet where were these guys when clergy were raping children and bishops and cardinals were facilitating and covering it up?? No mention of the 'double lives' of these bishops and cardinals !
