Lurid accusations of priests involved in sex orgies, porn videos and prostitution have emerged from several parishes in Italy recently, sending shock waves all the way to the Vatican and challenging the high standards Pope Francis demands of clergy.
In the southern city of Naples, for example, a priest was recently suspended from the parish of Santa Maria degli Angeli over claims he held gay orgies and used Internet sites to recruit potential partners whom he paid for sex.

its always funny when the MSM, who always and everywhere are in favor of the promotion of sexual perversion, attack the Church when some priests are found to be sinful.

Francis has got this under control? /s Pope Benedict was working on rooting out gays from the clergy, which is why the Church's internal Velvet Mafia moved to make him step down.

Been that way for over 1,000 years....except it used to be in the hierarchy...these allegation seem to involve parish priests...
That affects the parishioners directly. And it isn't very pretty.

Bad actors need to be disciplined and/or removed, if the evidence is proven correct, or else the entire organization (and everyone with it) is indicted.

Pope Benedict was working on rooting out gays from the clergy ...And Pope Francis wants to welcome them ...

Actually, I misread the headline - "Pope signals he's open to married Catholic men becoming priests"
Apparently, what he meant was Catholic men already married to women.
But this pope is so flaky nothing would surprise me.

I guess this will help keep anyone from noticing that over 1500 pedophiles and pederasts have been arrested since Trump took the Oath of Office and they weren't Catholic priests.
If some of those arrested start talking and many more are arrested the democrat fascist media machine will have to start screaming about a "witch hunt" like they did back when Geraldo said there was a huge nationwide network of perverts and Satanists working together to get kids for the perverts in powerful positions.

This is news? Ligourian coast has long been erotic homosexual playground for Jesuits. Pope may not approve, but surely he knows? Or, possibly the shocking part is the depravity going on in the diocesan priesthood as well.

Corruption among the hierarchy. Nothing new. Read "The Book of Gomorrah and St. Peter Damian's Struggle Against Ecclesiastical Corruption".
