Special Report – Gay Roman Clergy
06-27-2013
Hello everyone and welcome to this Special Report from Rome with more details on reports of a homosexual prostitution ring involving roman clergy with ties to the Vatican and young teenage boys complete with accusations of Satanism.
The Italian media began reporting earlier today on a group of homosexual priests and possibly bishops being investigated by Roman police and prosecutors for their involvement in a network of young teenage male prostitutes.
Details are now coming out that one of the recruiters for the ring .. a former Rome policeman .. was also involved in stealing consecrated hosts and selling them to Satanists in and around Rome.
The reports first surfaced following admissions from a former priest, 46 year old Patrizio Poggi who served five years in prison for child sexual abuse.
Early indications are Poggi went to contacts he had at the Vatican and asked to be re- instated as a priest. When he was refused, he became irate and blew the whistle, revealing everything he knew.
He named names and even took along one of the young men who was a former prostitute to corroborate his story. He provided police with videos and still pictures as well. In addition, two senior Vatican churchmen accompanied him to the authorities to back him up.
Poggi reportedly told police there are somewhere between 10-20 pedophile clerics in the ring and included among them, five prelates including a Monsignor AND the private secretary to another bishop.
Based on the information Poggi provided, police tailed the so-called “recruiter” of the ring, the former policeman who used to recruit the boys who were mostly eastern European immigrants, outside a gay bar named Twink near Rome's Termini train station. The policeman apparently had an associate in his work who ran a modeling agency luring the boys into this evil through "false work offers for modeling and acting roles", accord ing to Poggi.
The agent looked for boys at gay discos, saunas and gyms across Rome. As more details have come .. reports are that an accountant paid the teenage boys between 200 and 500 US dollars for sex acts with priests churches across Rome.
Poggi also accused the former Carabinieri .. Roman police .. of selling consecrated hosts for satanic rites.
The charges have all been rejected by the Vatican’s Cardinal Agostino Vallini, head of the Catholic Vicariate of Rome, who says the priest is just being vengeful.
But apparently that denial isn’t holding much water with Roman authorities because they have opened formal investigations into at least three individuals.
All of this follows on the heels of a 300 page report three months ago given to then Pope Benedict where various clergy .. supposedly bishops among them .. in and with ties to the Vatican itself were allegedly revealed to be part of what was called – a gay lobby in the Vatican.
And of course, all this follows a rather stunning admission made by Pope Francis in private two weeks ago that a gay lobby does indeed exist in the Vatican.
And all of this falls in line with undercover media reports that came out back in 2010 where many priests in Rome were revealed to be leading double-lives.
Those reports showed pictures of priests taken with hidden cameras at gay parties and in nightclubs and even some in very compromised sexual situations.
But these latest reports involving younger teenage boys and the additional report of a prostitution ring available for priests has now involved the legal authorities because of the alleged crimes of prostitution and underage sex.
Within the past month .. a website catering to priests in Rome looking for homosexual liasons was also uncovered and reported on widely in the Italian press.
And roughly two years ago .. a priest who had an office in the Vatican unknowingly took an undercover reporter posing as a gay man looking for sex back to his office. When the report came out .. the priest was dismissed.
In a separate report by a different Italian media outlet .. an undercover reporter made pals with a homosexual priest at one of Rome’s gay bars. This report was in 2010. For twenty days he associated with the priest and went deep into the gay roman priest underground.
In one of the articles .. a priest is quoted as saying that “98% of priests in the Holy City are queer.” The diocese of Rome came out strongly against the article, but also said that any priests who are gay should leave the priesthood.
This sordid affair of actively gay priests running around Rome, working for bishops, involved in prostitution rings, networks where young teenagers are abused points up a whole ugly mess – the infiltration of homosexuals into the Catholic priesthood.
We’ve done a couple of special reports on this larger topic but more questions now arise. For example – if this is going on in Rome, is it really a stretch to imagine that it isn’t the case in other diocese around the world? If not gay sex prostitution rings, at least the large numbers of homosexual clergy.
And what is being done in the Church to actually investigate this issue, for example in dioceses in the United States? Is this whole issue just essentially ignored? Is it believed by many of the bishops, perhaps naively, that there is no issue to investigate?
At what point, after billions of dollars being spent on the homosexual clergy sex abuse scandal does the question begin to be asked, are there other homosexuals in the priesthood, perhaps not sexually abusing young teenage boys, but still corrupting the faith?
Aren’t these questions valid questions? And if they are not, why not? Wouldn’t it be safe to ask them, rather than ignore them and find out if there is any validity to them? But none of that ever seems to happen. When is the last time a priest was forcibly removed from his duties for leading a double life? Have seminaries been cleared of this, both among the faculty and students?
The issue is a spiritual contagion that spreads thru the Body of Christ, not only by these men, but by those who allow them to remain. And THAT issue raises even more questions – why do bishops and religious superiors allow these men to remain active priests?
Are they in on all this too? Is their approach one of willful ignorance? Are they too afraid to attack this problem? Are they terrified by the possible prospect that there are so many gay priests that if they tossed them all out – their diocese would fall apart administratively?
A couple of years ago, one homosexual priest in Miami was quoted as saying, if all the gay priests were thrown out of here tomorrow, there would only be about 10 percent of the priest left to run the whole archdiocese.
And propositions like that are true – then the situation is even worse – it’s almost like blackmail.
These non-stop revelations about active homosexuals in the priesthood can’t all be wrong? At some point – on each side of the Atlantic – there must be some validity to them.
Gay Masses, a constant current of support for same-sex civil unions among clergy, homosexual bishops and even a cardinal being outted, a newly ordered special investigation by the Vatican into the whole homosexual clergy allegations in Scotland, a former homosexual prostitute who was ordained in Canada suing lifesitenews.com and on and on. It’s almost mind-boggling. Beyond in fact.
We asked the question last year here in Rome and we will ask it again, could this be the diabolical disorientation that has entered the Church that Our Blessed Mother predicted? Whether it is or isn’t .. this pervasive evil must be stamped out in the Church and must be stamped out immediately .. it is choking the mission of the Church and costing untold numbers of souls.

God love you.
Pray, fast, do penance and sacrifice. Some demons are only driven out in this way.
In my very limited experience, about half of priests come across as swish, and the other half as masculine men.
Simply being swish is not necessarily sinning, but it is a poor example. If all the active homosexual priests left, the ones who resist temptation would find it easier to resist, and masculine men would find it easier to answer a call to the priesthood.
If we lose half our priests, 90% of our priests, let’s find more married deacons to run our parishes, and not, God forbid, some female parochial administrator. Let’s close our parishes and drive further. The Church can’t live with this rot.
Four months ago (Feb 11 IIRC) Benedict announced he was stepping down as pope due to health concerns. Can anyone confirm whether this report was handed to him before or after his announcement?
Get rid of homosexuals in the church. Until that happens, the work of the church is putrid/tainted.
Before, in December. Yes, I think it had everything to do with his stepping down. Exorcism on this scale was beyond his strength.
I wish I could say this shocked me. It doesn’t.
Yep, I am now convinced this is why he resigned. It is the only thing that makes sense.
Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sisterbut is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.” (I Cor. 5:6-12)
No, it is not, because we are doing the work of Jesus, which is never tainted or putrid.
There have always been sinners in places of authority in the Church,but God's work has always been done, in spite of them.
St. Pius V
That horrible crime, on account of which corrupt and obscene cities were destroyed by fire through divine condemnation, causes us most bitter sorrow and shocks our mind, impelling us to repress such a crime with the greatest possible zeal.
Quite opportunely the Fifth Lateran Council [1512-1517] issued this decree: "Let any member of the clergy caught in that vice against nature, given that the wrath of God falls over the sons of perfidy, be removed from the clerical order or forced to do penance in a monastery" (chap. 4, X, V, 31).
So that the contagion of such a grave offense may not advance with greater audacity by taking advantage of impunity, which is the greatest incitement to sin, and so as to more severely punish the clerics who are guilty of this nefarious crime and who are not frightened by the death of their souls, we determine that they should be handed over to the severity of the secular authority, which enforces civil law.
Therefore, wishing to pursue with greater rigor than we have exerted since the beginning of our pontificate, we establish that any priest or member of the clergy, either secular or regular, who commits such an execrable crime, by force of the present law be deprived of every clerical privilege, of every post, dignity and ecclesiastical benefit, and having been degraded by an ecclesiastical judge, let him be immediately delivered to the secular authority to be put to death, as mandated by law as the fitting punishment for laymen who have sunk into this abyss. -
Pray for our new Pope, he has a lot of house cleaning to do.
I picked my screenname for a reason. ;-)
Of course, I’m not looking to put anyone to death, but if I am reading that correctly, he is saying that that was the law of the land at that time (and what would happen after the men were laicized).
As I recall B16 was given the report, he announced his resignation, and said a copy of the report written by several trusted conservative cardinal, would be given ONLY to the new Holy Father when eleted.
For the record, I believe that Benedict stepped down solely due to health reasons, and that those reasons were both severe and legitimate. I am willing to believe that comprehending the report caused his health to rapidly deteriorate, however.
I think that is what was admitted to. Although I don’t discount his poor health, I do believe that there was more to it.
Deacons, according to Canon Law and the Church’s ancient tradition, are bound to perpetual and perfect continence. This is the case because they are in Orders.
It is often said that priests are bound to perpetual and perfect continence because they are unmarried. I.e., being single, they are bound merely by the moral law to be continent.
This is an error.
Priests are bound to continence because they are in Orders.
Those who assume that: 1) deacons will always be more plentiful than priests because they are not bound to continence, and/or 2) the “priest shortage” can be relieved by “allowing priests to marry” (i.e., priests will not be bound to perpetual continence), are going to have to wake up in a decade or two, as this festering issue is resolved.
Can’t help wishing that, instead of this Roman discretion, discretion, discretion, B16 had sent the report to the Vatican printers, and sent out 50,000 copies to journalists all over the world. Have the cancer out!
