ROME, July 11, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) -- Not only are gay-orgies happening in the Vatican, but the extent of homosexual activity in the Vatican under Pope Francis’ watch has “never been worse,” a reliable senior member of the Curia told National Catholic Register’s Ed Pentin.

Pentin wrote earlier this week that this Vatican Curia member confirmed to him that “multiple sources” within the Vatican, including another senior curial figure, say that the report of a drug-fueled gay orgy right next to St. Peter’s is true.

“He said the extent of homosexual practice in the Vatican has ‘never been worse,’ despite efforts begun by Benedict XVI to root out sexual deviancy from the curia after the Vatileaks scandal of 2012,” Pentin wrote in his report.https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/to...-under-francis

Well just recently a high ranking priest was caught in cocaine fueled gay orgy in an apartment at the Vatican. I can imagine grindr app is well active in the Vatican.

"Never been worse"
I think is the mainstay of a pejorative perspective. I will let other decide, but the choice was an easy one for me, having seen that phrase.

Just a note on the character of the source from https://www.ncronline.org/news/opini...ancial-scandal
Last week, LifeSiteNews, a website known for its extremism, pushed a story about a "new Vatican financial scandal," one that would "raise serious questions about" Pope Francis' reputation as a "pope for the poor." They claimed to have leaked documents that proved there was some kind of malfeasance afoot. And, they repeated the allegation in one of the documents that the Papal Foundation and its chairman, Cardinal Donald Wuerl, had failed to exercise due diligence in the matter.
To which I reply: Bosh! As a columnist, it is difficult to know whether to even call attention to this kind of nonsense. You hope it will be seen for the ludicrous ranting that it is. But, then you see people like Samuel Gregg, research director of the Acton Institute, retweeting an article in the increasingly fringe-prone Catholic Herald, and you realize that someone has to expose this fraud for what it is.






Do we need this kind of trash?

It not just that site that makes those claims, here is an article from the New York times :
https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/201...y-priests.html

The Liberal leaning Huffington post also recently A male escort's list reportedly contains texts and photos from Italian priests and seminarians.https://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/en...b0a0ba4ad6a1d4

Just as the Catholic church outside Italy has skeleton in the closet, now the Catholic Church inside Italy and the Vatican has also.

The end of days baby!

Matthew 24:37 ...'But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.'

Luke 17:28-30 ...'Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.'

Non-verifiable propaganda, no way this can be proved, except by some sort of survey.
More low church Evangelicals looking for "end of times" madness as well, so invariably they look at Rome.

Some people seem very preoccupied with how to shackle and shun sex between homosexual men (especially drug-fueled sex)... I suppose they think it is contagious or addicting to them and they need to be protected from engaging in it.

Furthermore, these sorts of things have been told about the Vatican on various years and pretty much every generation of Protestant angst or internal Catholic issues. Nothing new under the Sun here, again.

Officially the Catholic Church forbids homosexual behaviour and illicit drug taking. This behaviour exposes the hypocrisy within the Catholic church.

But what is changing these days is more and more Catholic clergy are becoming gay affirming. Plus it is not difficult to find gay affirming catholic priests these days. Plus more and more Catholics don't find homosexual behavior as a sin. The world after all is changing fast.
