Pope Benedict has revealed a 'gay lobby' in the Vatican tried to influence decisions during his papacy - but that no-one pressured him to resign.
His memoirs, called 'The Last Conversations', are due out in September and are the first time in history that a former pope judges his own pontificate after it is over.
Citing health reasons, the 89-year-old became the first pope in six centuries to resign when he stepped down in 2013.

Italy's Corriere della Sera daily, which has acquired the Italian newspaper rights for excerpts and has access to the book, ran a long article today summarizing its key points.
In the book, Benedict says that he came to know of the presence of a 'gay lobby' made up of four or five people who were seeking to influence Vatican decisions. The article says Benedict says he managed to 'break up this power group'.

The Vatican has a “gay lobby”??????
Is there a “Satan lobby”??????
Well, I would say he really didn't, or they reconstituted.
How could a man of God be swayed by a “gay lobby”? He needed to read his bible and not pontificate.
What - there’s a “gay lobby” in the Vatican?
I’m shocked!

It’s time for Jay Leno to come back and take over the Tonight Show from Conan.
Don't ask questions that you really don't want the answer to.
This pretty much confirms that there has been a coup in Vatican City. As a Protestant, I find this to be very bad news for Christian/Western civilization. The most power, influential, and wealthy Christian institution in the world has been highjacked by a cultural Marxist. Dangerous times we live in.

Well played, FReeper!
Kept them at bay at best.
I have read that the cardinals are not supposed to discus their papal choices during the conclave but there were cheaters in the conclave that elected Pope Francis, they discussed and lobbied other cardinals to pick the Pope that they wanted.
“Good Bye Good Men” by Michael S. Rose is a book to start with.
