Report: Vatican owns building that houses cardinals and Europe’s biggest gay bathhouse
Daily News ^ | 3/11 | boyle

Now the cardinals have red faces to match their red hats.

Church leaders gathering for Tuesday’s papal conclave picked up the paper to learn the Holy See is the majority owner of an apartment block that houses Italy’s largest gay bathhouse.

Even more shocking, Ivan Cardinal Dias lives in a swank 12-room apartment one floor above Europa Multiclub, and mere yards from the phallic shrubbery at the entrance of the gay Xanadu, La Repubblica reported.

Dias is known for reviling homosexuality, calling it “unnatural” and arguing that gays can be “cured.”

That cure certainly does not require taking the waters at the Europa club, which boasts a Turkish bath, Finnish sauna, whirlpools, massages, “bear parties” and much more.

Much ado about nothing - at least nothing about the cardinal or the Church. Being majority owner does not mean the Vatican has complete control of the building or what’s in it. Also, if I had been living in Rome off-and-on since 1965 like Dias, I too would have a 12 room apartment!

Gotta cut the cardinal some slack, he probably has (chaste) social gatherings in the place every few weeks.

Still I’d be a bit embarrassed for my guests given the neighbors at this point.

If Baptists were living in that apartment, they would be downstairs preaching the gospel to all the people streaming in and out of the infamous bathhouse, at least until the cops drug them away.

Ah come on, don’t ya know everybody is doing it!

Now Christ did make part of Peter’s keys Matthew 10:15, Matthew 11:23, 11:24, Mark 6:11, Luke 10:12, and Luke 17:29. But hey as it is also Written there is nothing new under the sun.

Exclusive: Black smoke emerges from Senate Chimney Cub Reporter Biff Spackle emails us this photo, which he claims is a world exclusive. To be perfectly frank, the photo might not depict the U.S. Senate, as Spackle has been known to drink around NCAA tourney time.

If you have been to Roma, you quickly determine that it is full of gays, might be kinda hard to NOT live next to them...

.................Ah come on, don’t ya know everybody is doing it!........................

As a large pool of bubbling semen surfaces in the middle of the baths, and Father Garducci asks “OK, who farted?”

For the media Gay = Good. The real sin to them?

“Dias is known for reviling homosexuality, calling it “unnatural” and arguing that gays can be “cured.”

In the end, evil knows that the next Pope will be Catholic.

It knows the Catholic Church will stand on Jesus Christ and traditional morals and will be a focal point of Good. They know God and Tradition will be affirmed in a few days. So they lash out with useless and bitter flailing.

So, we’ll see much of this tripe in the next days and weeks.
