Pope Francis has acknowledged the existence of a 'gay lobby' inside the Vatican's secretive administration for the first time.
Speaking during an audience with Latin American Catholics, the Argentine Pontiff said that there was a 'current of corruption' in the Roman Curia - the central governing body of the Catholic Church.

I'd be willing to bet that the presence of this "gay lobby" has been known for quite a while and nothing has been done about it so far. What does that tell you?
What’s slippery slope about this? The filth and corruption in the Curia needs to be cleaned out.
There have been a number of conspiracy theories regarding the sudden death of Pope John Paul I in 1978, relating to his attempt to clean things up.
DUH!
It would not be received well by many of the clerics either.
As far as your limited acumen knows.
The Pope spoke in Spanish. Did he use the word “gay”? Doubtful. Let’s start from there reading this article.
Would you be willing to make this wager more interesting?
Thanks for explaining the distinction that might allow for a “gay lobby” in the Roman Catholic Church.
Yes ... I think it's long past time we dispense with the politically correct "pedophilia" meme ...
The sex abuse problem was a HOMOSEXUAL problem ... the solution is to keep the queers out of the priesthood.
I certainly hope not. And if it does, then all the more important the 1961 directive.
Amen to that.
Pedophilia would be if these perverts were attacking per-pubescent boys. They are, generally, attacking teenaged boys. It is an aggressive homosexual predatory act.
They will burn in hell for their sins. Along side those who have helped cover them up.
Well the new pope ain’t gonna last long, the media will destroy his image and he will end up having an “accident” inthe middle of the night when he steps out of his balcony and leans over the edge...
There have been a number of conspiracy theories regarding the sudden death of Pope John Paul I in 1978, relating to his attempt to clean things up.
In light of recent news, I am inclined to belive almost everythign called a conspiracy theory because so many of the them called “crazy” have recently been proven true.....
Maybe the solution is neuter the priests....
Most of them seem to be acting like back alley barn cats in heat....
No ... The solution is, as it has always been, to recruit mentally healthy, theologically orthodox Christ centered Men. It’s not difficult, as many ORTHODOX seminaries and orders illustrate.
Yes...from what I understand...it's called ephebophlia and that is specifically associated with Homosexuality. And not to be misunderstood by any freepers on this thread, I agree, stop the PC and weed the faggots out.
I don’t allow a permissible, but rather allow as a group might “lobby” to reverse the 1961 directive. Certainly someone could not be sexually active but argue the 1961 directive should be modified to include highly sexual heterosexuals.
Right. And if that means establishing an "inquisition" ... so be it. The faggots are polluting the Church and destroying souls. They must be removed from positions of influence and leadership.
Wait, shouldn’t he be telling us there used to be a gay lobby?????
Why does he say it still exists?
