ITALY, March 9, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) A scandal now sending shockwaves through the Catholic Church erupted last week when a gay male prostitute produced a massive dossier outing scores of priests who allegedly lead a double life of both ordained minister and homosexual sex-fiend. The dossier included seminarians as well.
The author of the dossier, gay escort Francesco Mangiacapra, said he wrote the report because he could no longer stand the hypocrisy of the many priests he serviced.
The 1,200-page dossier, replete with explicit WhatsApp messages, erotic photos, and lurid descriptions of priests involved in gay sexual activity and drug use, was forwarded to the Vatican by the Archbishop of Naples.
I want to explain right away that mine is not a gesture that goes against the Catholic Church, indeed, it is paradoxically in its favor, said Mangiacapra in an interview with Catania Today.
The goal isn't to hurt the people I've mentioned [in the dossier], but to help them understand that their double life . . . isn't useful to them or to the people who rely on them for guidance, said Mangiacapra.
Their behavior is, in many cases, a result of the impunity that the high hierarchy of the Church has made habitual, continued the escort, that unjust tolerance that feeds the idea that it is possible to separate that which is lived from that which is professed, as typical of those who have a schizophrenic, double morality. Scandal originated with homosexual priest dubbed 'Don Euro'
One of Mangiacapras clients, Father Luca Morini, had originally presented himself as a wealthy judge. When the young male escort later discovered the judge was in fact a priest, he wondered how a simple parish priest could afford his sexual services, lavish meals and expensive gifts. He immediately suspected..........

It’s long past time we got the lavender mafia in the church gone, once and forever.

Be sure that your sins will find you out.
You know, there’s whistle-blowing and I’m all for that. But the whole world is starting to sound like the National Enquirer or some movie mag these days. This guy - it’s good to expose that stuff. At the same time, he was part and parcel of it. Reminds me of the #Me Too (not) victims who profited from the Directors’ Couches, got the parts, and decades later, they turned ‘victim.’ You sort of cannot be both.
Smoke of Satan? More like 4-alarm blazing inferno.
I believe he is an atheist and as such has never claimed to live a Christian life, so there is no hypocrisy there. His eternal soul may be another matter. I do believe that outing these priests is in the best interest of the Catholic faithful. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
The fact that the Vatican does nothing about this makes the entire hierarchy complicit.
How anyone can believe the claims of Roman Catholicism that it’s the one true body of Christ on the earth is beyond me.
it sounds like San Francicko, Californication has lost its Fag City tiara. the Vatican’s now the place to be!? (if you like that sort of thing, of course) smile smile smile
after they put this guy in gaol, they need to clean house at the Vatican, at long last, fer sure!
or at least keep the priests away from the choir boys
The whole priesthood everywhere is infested with homosexuals. The real question is whether there are any Catholic priests where are not homosexual?
If only we could get to find out about those in sex scandals in Congress - the payouts!
This is true.
Still, I have been to the Vatican 3 times in my life. It seems in the Vatican and around Rome every church, chapel, catacomb and altar has a priest saying Mass.
If male gay prostitutes in Rome can't scare up more than a few dozen, the problem isn't as bad as I suspected, and I have suspected the worst.
Amen!
Cleanse the Church.
Gee! What a shock!!!! you post on this thread!
Agree
:)
As a Catholic, this information is beyond my capability to grasp. There’s just no way! Lies!
Actually? I’d bet a blue ton it’s true.
Rome has been a city of sin since long before Constantine.
What else is new?
Before the Reformation, Martin Luther was shocked by the vices of Rome when he visited in 1513.
Salvation is indicated not by what you say but what you do.
Galatians 5:19-24
is Jorge Mario Bergoglio on the list?
Gonna be one Hell of a line at the confessional for a long time!!!!!
Gee! You didn’t address the topic of the thread.
That’s NOT a shock.
Why is it that Catholics are not rising up en masse and demanding their church do something about this mess?
