Its St. Sebastians Angels all over again. But much worse. In Rome! A gay hookup site specifically tailored for priests and seminarians in ROME! Good Heavens what is to become of us?:
It is not easy to talk about some things, but Pope Francis statement of a gay lobby in the Catholic Church draws waves. As the Catholic writer, Vittorio Messori made known, there is a page on the Internet called Venerabilis which is run by a fraternity of Homo-Sensitive Roman Catholic Priests.

If we could just get the NSA to do the Vatican a favor and sent them the user list.
Thankfully, this too shall pass.
Who invented the word “aberrosexual” and how is it different from “homosexual”? On the next thought, perhaps I don’t want to know.
From a related thread:
1 Corinthians 5 shows that the sexual acts prohibited in Leviticus are to be resolved in NT times by expelling sexual offenders from the congregation (as opposed to putting them to death). So we’re seeing gay “christian” clergy who evidently haven’t read the Holy Bible.
I think that the “Do not be deceived” warning of 1 Cor. 6:9 is key to understanding major faith problems with same-sex sexual relationships.
Thanks marshmallow.
Given what has happened in the Church during the last fifty years, I can only conclude that the Church has many faithless clergy. It happens when the priesthood becomes no more than a career path, or when priests take the faith as lightly as so many of us do, as a yoke to be set aside because we take every burden as intolerable.
Reading the comments on that website, they appear to speak in code. They write “looking for a true friend to discuss ideas.” But then the code kind of falls apart when they say “I’m a 24 year old boy looking for Priest.” or “I prefer older man.” etc.
To a certain extent I guess they’re ashamed enough that they still speak in this code, though it’s pretty obvious it’s a homo hookup site.
One of them thought that if Rome got rid of all the queers, there wouldn’t be anyone left to become a priest!
Back in the late 1970s I was attending a church where a female congregant had been disciplined/temporarily expelled for a questionable relationship with a male congregant (I don't know if it was adultery or something like that). This was the only time I'd heard of a church congregation imposing discipline on a member for his/her behavior. These days it seems people don't want to get involved.
The Catholic Church has to purge itself of these so-called priests.
I don’t know if it’s true or not but I’ve read that a lot of those in seminaries in California are gay when they get there.
I’m shocked, sir, shocked! Homosexual priests seeking partners within the very shadow of the Vatican? Just wait til the Pope finds out or some of the bishops!
This is why we have Pope Francis and why he chose the name he did. In his youth he asked a young woman to marry him and she didn’t accept his proposal, Thank God.
well said....
I hope they all get a house cleaning.
thus, we can't question behavior, or someones bad language, or their dress, or their music, or their addictions.....
"diversity" is our friend...
Real life equivalent of the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence”.
Bah! HUMBUGGERY!
1Peter 4:17
For the time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God. And if first at us, what shall be the end of them that believe not the gospel of God?
