Catholic Priest's Gay Sex Tryst Caught on Tape - Vatican

The chatter inside the Vatican on the case of suspended Monsignor Tommaso Stenico is most surprising for the absence of outright denials. A member of the papal council that supervises priests, Stenico faces a Vatican tribunal after getting caught on Italian TV making advances to a younger man, telling him "homosexual sex isn't a sin, son."

Officials and observers of the Holy See express two gut reactions: concern that Stenico, 60, will spill the beans on similar cases, or hope that he will, and forcing the tribunal to clean up an "underground" culture of homosexuality in the papal city. Virtually no one is denying everything, except for Stenico, who says he is not gay and that he was just posing as "a thief among thieves" to test a theory that the gay population is out to damage the church.

Gay priests are nothing new, of course. And in church circles there have long been concerns about a supposed "homosexual ring" in the Vatican, only no one had any idea how real or extensive the ring was. Now, at a time when many Roman Catholics remain angry about the church's secretive handling of priest sex abuse scandals, the Vatican will be under heavy pressure to investigate itself fully. While Catholic doctrine doesn't condemn homosexual orientation, sodomy is one of only four sins that the church says "cry to heaven for vengeance?" The general feeling among Vatican officials is that if they don't take decisive disciplinary action, this could get very ugly.

@iceyjohnny66 - Open minded, as long as the atheist doesn't have to acknowlege there is a Creator, He sets morals, and He makes all the rules.

Catholics are hypocritical, bigoted and hateful. Evil.

[bibleortraditions]

I think we need to differentiate between the average Roman Catholic who attends mass every week, and those who are in charge and pulling the strings.

[AllOtherNamesUsed]

anyone who is a self-conceptualized apeman is a cult member of the state religion. real science is often held hostage to politics, that's why you're indoctrinated in public education as a child who can barely read yet. aclu founder admitted purpose was socialism & they pushed evolution into the skools. evo is the bed rock of socialism making the man your highest authority instead of all equal under a higher authority all must answer to.

btw the vatican pushes evolution. surprise surprise gomer.

I think the pope is pretending to be catholic and hypocritically profess the ideals of a jesus christ, if such a character ever really existed. How much duplicity and con-artistry can a flock of believers with sheep-like gullibility take? I have never understood religion, and I don't think I ever will.

Don't be so close minded people. Not all Catholics are pedophiles and homosexuals. Most of us are ashamed of what some of these higher ups are doing.

With all these hateful comments toward Catholicism. Doesn't your religion teach love at all? Put it to practice and stop hating on the Catholics.
