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.

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?

Before, in December. Yes, I think it had everything to do with his stepping down. Exorcism on this scale was beyond his strength.

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.
