What is the Gay Capital Of The World? Is it San Francisco? Is it New York’s Greenwich Village? What about Miami’s South Beach? NO! It’s the Vatican of the Roman Catholic Church.

According to the salacious new book “In the Closet of the Vatican” by French journalist Frederic Martel, the Vatican is rampant with a subculture of homosexuality and the Catholic Church is basically run by homosexuals.
In the book, Martel discusses the priest-friendly gay migrant prostitute scene near Rome’s train station, the cover-up involving Mexican founder of the Legion of Christ and pedophile Rev. Marcial Maciel, and even the suggestion of a hidden reason why Pope Benedict XVI abruptly resigned out of nowhere.
Martel says he talked to 1,500 sources, including 41 cardinals, 52 bishops, and 45 current and former Vatican ambassadors during 4 years of research for the book and is now lifting the lid on homosexuality within Catholicism.
“I think the percentage is very high,” Martel said of homosexuality in the church after speaking to a source who left the Vatican and the priesthood once he was discovered viewing gay sex websites on his Vatican computer. “I’d put it around 80%.”
The Catholic Church has suffered a debilitating public relations scandal over the past decade regarding pedophile priests sexually abusing young boys. In fact, Martel links homosexuality to the Catholic clergy abuse crisis.
“The ‘culture of secrecy,’ which was necessary to maintain silence about the huge presence of homosexuality in the church, has made it possible to hide sexual abuse, and for predators to benefit from this system of protection within the institution,” he writes.
“[Pope] Francis knows that he has to move on the church’s stance and that he will only be able to do this at the cost of a ruthless battle against all those who use sexual morality and homophobia to conceal their own hypocrisies and double lives,” Martel added.
The book was released on February 21st, which also happened to be the opening day of a summit the Pope convened of top bishops from around the world to deal with the church’s massive sexual abuse crisis. Many Catholics expressed concern about the book release coinciding with the Pope’s summit and the perception it created regarding homosexuality and the church.
Martel’s book “makes a convincing case that in the Vatican many priests, bishops, and even cardinals are gay and that some of them are sexually active,” said the Rev. James Martin, an American Jesuit priest who has written about LGBT Catholics and the church. However, “the timing of the book is tremendously problematic,” he added. “It will distract from the summit and raise in people’s minds the idea that all gay priests are breaking their vows and are linked to abuse.”
Ironically, the Vatican permanently defrocked and dismissed former Washington, DC Cardinal Theodore McCarrick recently, after a church trial found him guilty of sexually abusing minors and soliciting them during confession.
OK WASSUP! discusses Religion:
The Vatican is the Gay Capital of the world!
Thank you for writing this DJ. These catholic priests have been getting away with murder for years. Molesting young boys and ruining lives. Then the church pretends all these men are supposed to be celibate. But most of that whole group is a collection of gay pedophiles who have no business pretending to be priest. If they are gay that is ok but don’t make the promise then not keep it.
