This homosexual lobby in the Vatican is well known. Even Pope Francis admitted it recently. Whether this current story Alex posted is credible or not is a moot point. Our own Pope says there is a gay lobby in the Vatican. Does Pope Francis have an agenda?

My interest in following this story is to see what connection - if any - is found between a "Vatican gay lobby", and statements by John Zmirak and Philip Lawler that allege two-thirds of American bishops were complicit in covering up the abuse scandal here in the US.

I happen to think that there's a connection. What about you two?

He should. His agenda should be to add thousands of staffers to the CDF. and revert it back to the Inquisition.

Then, appoint an Inquisitor to investigate and purge these creeps from the Church.

I am determined to keep an open mind on Pope Francis but, thus far, I am not impressed. At worst, I survived John XXIII and Paul VI and, God willing, I will survive Pope Francis and live to see the election of another John Paul II. At best, he will surprise me and prove to be a far more brilliant pontiff than I expect him to be. In any event, for good or for ill, he is my pope for the duration.

I don't doubt that there is a "gay lobby" in the Vatican and elsewhere in the Church. I utterly deny (as I suspect you do as well) that Catholicism itself has anything that encourages or requires such an abomination. I would be encouraged by the re-institution of the Inquisition to deal with the miscreants.
