A high-ranking Vatican monsignor who is a secretary to one of Pope Francis’ closest collaborators was arrested by Vatican police after they caught him hosting a cocaine-fueled homosexual orgy in a building right next to St. Peter’s Basilica.
Here are 12 facts about the scandal.
1. Vatican police arrested Monsignor Luigi Capozzi, 49, some two months ago during a raid in which he was caught in the act of hosting a cocaine-fueled gay orgy in the former Palace of the Holy Office.
2. Capozzi managed to evade suspicion from Italian police by using a BMW luxury car with license plates of the Holy See, which made him practically immune to stops and searches. This privilege, usually reserved for high-ranking prelates, allowed the monsignor to transport cocaine for his frequent homosexual orgies without being stopped by the Italian police.

3. The Vatican-owned building in which the raid happened is currently being used by various high-ranking churchmen, including prefects, presidents, and secretaries to the Roman Curia. Police became suspicious after tenants in the building complained repeatedly about constant comings and goings of visitors to the building during all hours of the night.
4. At the time of the arrest, Capozzi was allegedly so high on cocaine that he was hospitalized for detoxification for a short period in the Pius XI clinic in Rome.
5. Despite Pope Francis’ promises of transparency and of cleaning up the Curia, not a word about the scandal has been spoken by any Vatican officials. Italian media broke the story last week after receiving inside information.
6. Capozzi was shockingly in the running to become a bishop at his boss Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio’s recommendation.
7. Capozzi is bizarrely still listed as an active staff member on the website of the Pontifical Council for the Interpretation of Legal Texts.
8. Capozzi is currently in an undisclosed convent in Italy undergoing a spiritual retreat. There has been no mention of a process of laicization for his transgressions.
9. Capozzi’s boss is Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, the Vatican’s top canonical official. He is one of Pope Francis’ closest collaborators and ardent supporters.
MUST READ: Cardinal linked to Vatican gay orgy emphasized ‘positive elements’ in gay lifestyle
10. Coccopalmerio has spoken publicly about what he has called “positive elements" in homosexual relationships. He said that while homosexual relationships are deemed “illicit” by the Church, Catholic leaders, such as himself, must “emphasize” the “positive realities” that he said are present in homosexual relationships.
11. There is speculation that Coccopalmerio knew about the gay orgies and did nothing about them.
12. Coccopalmerio has been in the vanguard of advancing Pope Francis’ makeover of the Catholic Church. This includes writing a book earlier this year that defended Francis’s 2016 Exhortation Amoris Laetitia as allowing civilly-divorced-and-remarried Catholics living in adultery as well as unmarried cohabiting Catholics living in fornication to receive Holy Communion. His book was praised by left-leaning Church leaders, such as Cardinal Blase Cupich, even though it completely contradicted clear Catholic teaching on marriage, the Eucharist, and confession
Just keep the altar boys out of it.
[ Malachi Martin alluded to a ceremony he called an “Enthronement” in one of his “fictional” works. He said it took place about the time of the Council. This event is one of its “fruits.” ]
The Catholic Church seems to have really fallen apart since the early 1900’s ever since Fatima happened....
I really have to wonder if the event so shook the foundations of the church that many of the higher ups know a hell of a lot more about the event than they are letting on and there are two camps, one camp that has just given up to sin because it doesn’t matter in their own opinion anyways, and another that is trying to buck the tide of the majority that have given up to try to fight to change the prophecy of Fatima ( a near futile task) to try to save the church.
There is a lot of controversy around the third secret of Fatima that is very weird.
There is also the fact that the Vatican has spent a lot of their vast reserves of money on astronomy and even have named some of their instruments weird almost satanic names like the LUCIFER....
There is also purported to be a lot of stuff hidden from the public view in the Vatican archives that is supposedly being suppressed as it would “hurt the catholic church” be it released....
Just imagine if you were a priest who worked their way up to cardinal and then was taken one night to a room deep under the Vatican where you were showed your entire life was a lie.... How would you behave? If you already had proclivities towards homosexuality you were suppressing you might just say “screw it” and start living in near open sin... doing drugs, having the gay sex, etc etc....
Somedays I think of what I wouldn’t give to see through eyes of a fly on the walls in some moldy store room in the bowels of the Vatican... Would it shake me to the core to see what they have been hiding? It very well may, but I would rather know than to remain ignorant while those who know tell us to live how they say and not how they do.
Very simple solution: Allow priests to marry women like they did before the demonic doctrine of priestly celibacy! Your first Pope Peter (and his wife) are rolling in thier graves...

Laicization, or “dismissal from the clerical state,” is what most people mean when they use the non-existent term “defrocking.”
It’s not Bergoglio’s “rhetoric” that is so important. It’s his DELIBERATE appointing of notorious sodomites to every possible post in the Vatican. There is NO QUESTION that the way to get a plum job from Bergoglio is to be a flaming sodomite. Brushes with the law are a PLUS. Getting caught in a stalled elevator with a rent-boy is a PLUS. Getting expelled from one or more countries is a PLUS.
...you don’t have this level of sodomy/pedophilia in the Streets Orthodox Church or Protestant Church.
Bergoglio is STUFFING the Vatican with flaming, raging queens. He simply cannot get enough of them.
Don’t look for anything these monsters say to be in any way consistent with Catholicism or any historical form of Christianity.
laicization is defrocking — he would be removed from the priesthood. Formal defincition: removal of a bishop, priest or deacon from the status of being a member of the clergy.
Cardinal: That's right.
Sgt: Did you witness the event? C: Uh, well, you see, er no. S:Do you know someone who did? C: Er no. S: Do you have the drugs to turn in? C: No S: Was there anyone under 16 there? C: Not to my knowledge. S: Go in peace then.
What a mess. LIBs and their lunatic followers are malignancies to everything civil and reasonable.
Right. Because ministers and rabbis never get involved in sexual abuse, of children or anyone else. Also, government school teachers never molest children.
It’s very troubling. I still can’t get this statement out of my mind:
“[We]...must “emphasize” the “positive realities” that...are present in homosexual relationships.”
Imagine Abraham making the above statement to God when he learned about God’s plan for Sodom & Gomorrah...
Agreed. It seems that sins of the flesh are equal opportunity, and one of Satan’s favorite devices.
You really should ask the RM to remove the Caucus designation. Thus far, the Reformation and Rabbis have been mentioned, breaking the Caucus, and you also have an admitted non-Catholic posting.
The Caucus is to everyone’s benefit on the FR Religion Forum, it’s intended to allow adherents of a given belief to discuss those beliefs among themselves in peace. Bringing other beliefs into it is not allowed.
Please don’t abuse this designation, it’s a valuable thing. Have it taken down and make this an open thread.
My wife always wondered what Comrade Pope spent the “Peters Pence” (aka baby Jesus pennies) collections on .... cocaine and sex toys I would hazard to guess!
Our Lord was not married.
Our Lord was not married.
No...but many of the disciples were. There was no requirement in the NT church for priestly celibacy.
We are not God. We are humans who were made to be fruitful and multiply to the glory of God.
