[Italian] Cops Bust Cleric in Gay Prostitution Scandal

Wiretaps show Italian priest used cell phone apps for sex with teen boys

PERUGIA, Italy (ChurchMilitant.com) - Italian paramilitary police have arrested a priest for "aggravated child prostitution" after electronic surveillance generated evidence of the homosexual cleric soliciting sex from underage boys "on a daily basis."

Father Vincenzo Esposito, parish priest of San Feliciano in Magione, Perugia, over a hundred miles north of Rome, used digital phone applications like WhatsApp or Messenger to make sexual video calls to male minors from Termini Imerese and neighboring areas.

The arrest has embarrassed the Conference of Italian Bishops (CEI) as its pro-gay president, Cdl. Gualtiero Bassetti, is also Esposito's archbishop, a confidant of Pope Francis, and "widely seen as a prelate cut from the same cloth as the present pontiff."

The precautionary custody order issued Tuesday by investigating judge Fabio Pilato also ordered the house arrest of a 50-year-old mother who acted as the priest's pimp and offered her 17-year-old son for virtual sex with Esposito in exchange for money.

The priest used money from the parishioners' offerings to pay for gay sex with boys, carrying out a "perverse modus operandi" in "total disregard of the principles of ethics and religiosity that should inspire his behavior," Judge Pilato said.

“arrest has embarrassed the Conference of Italian Bishops (CEI) as its pro-gay president, Cdl. Gualtiero Bassetti, is also Esposito’s archbishop, a confidant of Pope Francis, and “widely seen as a prelate cut from the same cloth as the present pontiff.””

Hmm.

Thank goodness that Padre wasn’t doing something truly scandalous... like saying Latin Mass.

He’s not just a sicko, he’s dumb as a box of rocks to commit such crimes on his phone.

“The arrest has embarrassed the Conference of Italian Bishops.”

Yeah, right. They are not embarrassed. They are just stuck in sin and wonder how to get away with it tomorrow. The bishops think: “So someone got caught? Who cares. Let him rot in jail. We still have enough boys for tomorrow.” Very sick people lead our Church.

Sodomy isn't just a sexual practice, it's a religion that spreads by infiltrating and subverting existing institutions.
