Suspended Catholic cleric has Vatican gay list

ROME -- A high profile Vatican cleric suspended after he was shown on television making advances to a young man allegedly had a list of homosexual priests and bishops in the Roman Catholic Church's governing body, Italy's Panorama weekly reported Friday.

Father Tommaso Stenico, 60, had "a detailed dossier" of all the homosexual clerics at Vatican "with a list of names and circumstances implicating a certain number of priests and even bishops working at the Curia," Ignazio Ingrao, reporter for the conservative news weekly said.

Stenico also sent his superior Cardinal Claudio Hummes a report denouncing the moral degradation within the Curia, which could make the Vatican "tremble," Ingrao said.

This isn't really a surprise. Only the densest of papists would believe that the Vatican is homosexual-free. The church should come out and admit it, and embrace their gay brethren. It's not wrong to be a homosexual, it's the bible and two thousand years of sexual repression that are wrong.
