Gay priests' dating forum uncovered in the Vatican
June 22, 2013 at 6:22 am
Quote:After Pope Francis admitted to a 'gay lobby' in the Roman Curia, a 'fraternity of homo-sensible' priests have spoken out against the claims.
Gay Catholic priests looking to meet up for friendship and more now have a place to do it online.
Venerabilis, an unofficial gay dating site targeted for priests and the people who love them, is allegedly based in Vatican City.

I wonder if they produce a magazine with a center fold for Altar Boy of the Month?

Pope: Fellow cardinals, what do you think about this topic?
Cardinals: 10/10, would bang.

I agree, but maybe He meant the masculinity part of "boy" more than the part about being young.

Catholic priests are supposed to be celibate, last I heard. But I guess that doesn't mean they can't still want it, gay or straight. In fact, if they don't want it, it isn't much of a sacrifice, is it? Is it a sin to be gay if you're non-practicing? Are there a disproportionate number of gay men in the clergy, and if so, are gay men drawn to the priesthood or does priesthood make them gay? Does it work the same for nuns?
