“Sex And The Vatican” Claims Thousands Of Priests In Illicit Relationships

~

One Italian priest claimed that 98% of all Vatican priests are gay

“Some priests pay ex-lovers hush money so as not to be found out while others covertly support their illegitimate children through school, the book alleges,” writes Nick Squires of the book in Canada’s The Daily Telegraph, adding, “heterosexual priests have children with women who can never be their wives, and gay priests of many different nationalities visit nightclubs in Rome and pay for sex with escorts.”

He cited research which suggests that as many as a third of Catholic priests in the United States are gay and a quarter are in heterosexual relationships with women. Similar statistics have been reported in Germany and Austria.

In that Panorama exposé, Abbate wrote that one Italian priest claimed that 98% of all Vatican priests are gay.
