Vatican Sex Scandal?

Did a Secret Vatican Report on Gay Sex and Blackmail Bring Down the Pope? - Global - The Atlantic Wire

Pope Benedict XVI has claimed that he's resigning the papacy next week because of old age. But according to the major Italian newspaper La Repubblica, the real reason he resigned is because he did not want to deal the repercussions of a secret 300-page Vatican dossier that allegedly found, among other things, an underground network of high-ranking gay clergy, complete with sex parties and shady dealings with the already scandal-ridden Vatican bank. Here's what we know:

The report sounds menacing. According to La Repubblica, the dossier comes in two volumes, "two folders hard-bound in red" with the header "pontifical secret."

Pope Benedict asked for the investigation. "The paper said the pope had taken the decision on 17 December that he was going to resign — the day he received a dossier compiled by three cardinals delegated to look into the so-called 'Vatileaks' affair," according to the The Guardian's translation of the report.

Would not surprise me in the slightest. If its true, it is cowardly move by the Pope. The Catholic Church should reexamine this whole celibacy concept. Let them nikkas get married and do what comes naturally to human beings.

Wouldnt surprise me, most people join the priesthood because they are gay.

no man who loves women will ever be a priest.....they are all sodomites

 

[Kuuuuush]

Actually was the first thing that came to mind when the Pope announced he was stepping down. JPII was on his death bed and never resigned and now Benedict says he's getting to old for the job he worked his whole life to get. Something doesn't add up.

The Vatican's response isn't exactly comforting. They Church isn't flat-out denying the inflammatory allegations from La Repubblica, and they've pulled the classic act of neither confirming nor denying. Vatican spokesman Father Ferederico Lombardi said in a statement:

Neither the cardinals' commission nor I will make comments to confirm or deny the things that are said about this matter. Let each one assume his or her own responsibilities. We shall not be following up on the observations that are made about this.

why are all of these holy men such demons

Is it saying he quit because he is personally in the scandal and didn't want to face consequences or he quit because he didn't want to deal with the scandal and its fallout?

Is it saying he quit because he is personally in the scandal and didn't want to face consequences or he quit because he didn't want to deal with the scandal and its fallout?

It's saying he didn't want to deal with the ensuing shyt storm.
