Vatican backlash over dossier rumours linking Church to 'gay network' and 'sex parties'
The Vatican has rubbished Italian media reports alleging the pope's resignation is linked to a secret dossier claiming there is a 'gay network' inside the clergy.
Italian newspapers have been rife with unsourced reports claiming the secret dossier from three cardinals reveals an underground network of senior clergy who have organised gay homosexual parties and faced blackmail.
La Repubblica newspaper claims the explosive allegations were made in a report into the so-called 'Vatileaks' scandal which was presented to the Pontiff on or around December 17.
But the Vatican today accused Italian media of spreading 'false and damaging' reports in an attempt to influence cardinals who will meet in a secret conclave next month to elect a new pope.
The report came in two volumes, 'hard-bound in red' with the title 'pontifical secret' and was compiled by Spanish cardinal, Julián Herranz; Cardinal Salvatore De Giorgi, a former archbishop of Palermo; and the Slovak cardinal Jozef Tomko.
They launched the probe after the Pope's butler, Paolo Gabriele, was arrested and charged with stealing and leaking papal correspondence revealing how the Vatican was a centre of intrigue and infighting.
La Repubblica claimed Pope Benedict XVI quit because could not face the repercussions of dealing with the 300-page dossier - the first Pontiff to resign in 700 years.
The paper says that the investigation alleges a gay lobby exists within the Church, and has some sort of control on the careers of those in the Vatican.
The report is quoted as saying: 'The cardinals were said to have uncovered an underground gay network, whose members organise sexual meetings in several venues in Rome and Vatican City, leaving them prone to blackmail.
'They included a villa outside the Italian capital, a sauna in a Rome suburb, a beauty parlour in the centre, and a former university residence that was in use by a provincial Italian archbishop.'
La Repubblica says that the cardinals described a number of 'factions' in their report, including one in which individuals were 'united by sexual orientation'.
The newspaper also alleges the dossier states that members of this group were blackmailed by laymen with whom they entertain relationships of a 'worldly nature'
It quoted an unnamed source said to be close to the report's authors: 'Everything revolves around the non-observance of the sixth and seventh commandments.'
The seventh commandment forbids theft, while the sixth forbids adultery, but is linked in Catholic doctrine to the proscribing of homosexual acts, explained the Guardian.
The dossier will stay in a secret papal safe and delivered to Benedict's successor when the Pope leaves office, claims La Repubblica.
The pope himself has said merely that he doesn't have the 'strength of mind and body' to carry on and would resign Feb. 28.
The Vatican claims the reports are an attempt to influence the election of the next pope.
The Vatican secretariat of state said the Catholic Church has for centuries insisted on the independence of its cardinals to freely elect their pope - a reference to episodes in the past when kings and emperors vetoed papal contenders or prevented cardinals from voting outright.
'If in the past, the so-called powers, i.e., States, exerted pressures on the election of the pope, today there is an attempt to do this through public opinion that is often based on judgments that do not typically capture the spiritual aspect of the moment that the church is living,' the statement said.

What did you think would happen after they allowed Fish on Friday during Lent????
It was bound to happen sooner than later.

Seriously though... probably not a bad thing for the Catholic church overall...
I really didn't understand the choice...
Vatican P.R. Deptartment: "Hey guys... we're really getting beat up publicly about this whole boy-rape thing. What do you think we should do to put a different spin on the Catholic Church?"
"I know! Let's make sure that the next Pope looks like the lovechild of a threesome between Stripe from Gremlins, Emperor Palpatine, and the common pug!"

He must have been one smooth talker. If I had 1/10th of his interview skills to land one of the most high profile public jobs in the world with a face for radio like that mug, I'd probably be so rich already that I would be retired at 33 years old.
Maybe he's not "quitting"....
Maybe he's just giving up Poping for lent????

The Church is hoping that by forcing him out (and giving him asylum to boot), this will keep him quiet while at the same time giving a new pope a "clean slate" and hopefully washing all the scandals away. There's all this stuff inside the Vatican, and the child molestation scandals all over the world, and the Magdalene Laundries scandals in Ireland, and they're hoping to make it all go away. The pope can't just quit and leave, though - there's active warrants out for his arrest in some of the European Union countries - so he gets to step down and go live in a monastery conveniently located within the confines of Vatican City, where he's got complete immunity from every other foreign government and can't be arrested or compelled to testify.
Looks like the Catholic Church is giving up the Pope for Lent. And can anyone say why they shouldn't give up the whole idea of a pope in the first place? I asked some Catholics, and they said they need the pope "to lead us, to tell us how to live"; I asked them if the bible couldn't perform that function, but then they just unfriended me...

Jimmy Savile and the Cardinal: Britain's top Catholic cleric was friend of disgraced TV host
26 Feb 2013 00:00
The snap, taken six years ago, emerged after Cardinal Keith O’Brien quit amid allegations of “inappropriate acts” towards fellow priests
Grinning and giving a thumbs-up, Britain’s most senior Catholic cleric poses with his friend, disgraced paedophile Jimmy Savile.
The snap, taken six years ago, emerged last night after Cardinal Keith O’Brien quit amid allegations of “inappropriate acts” towards fellow priests.
The photo was taken in Edinburgh in 2007 as fund-raiser Savile and the cardinal unveiled a £375,000 vehicle for the disabled.
The pair first met in the 70s, when O’Brien was a priest in Kilsyth, North Lanarkshire – and worked with a friend of Savile’s mum.
Another priest at Kilsyth at the time has been suspended following claims of abuse against two young victims.
It was Cardinal O’Brien who ordered the investigation last September.
When Savile’s vile secrets became known, the cardinal called for him to be stripped of his papal knighthood, awarded in 1990.
Cardinal O’Brien quit just 24 hours before he was due to fly to Rome to help choose the next pope.
The cardinal, who missed celebrating mass at St Mary’s Cathedral in Edinburgh on Sunday, had been due at the Vatican today to join the conclave to elect Pope Benedict’s successor.
Only a few days ago he appeared on TV showing the ballot paper he would be using.
His sudden departure means Britain will be unrepresented in the process as he was the only cardinal in the British Catholic churches.
Announcing his decision not to take part, he said: “I do not wish media attention in Rome to be focused on me – but rather on Pope Benedict XVI and on his successor. Besides, I have an appointment to minister to a band of merry teenage strippers."

Forgive me Kwic if I'm not "up" on the newest news.... but I have no idea what you're talking about with a public scandal with the current pope.
It doesn't surprise me though...
I've never been "confirmed" Catholic, and I rarely go to church besides weddings and funerals, but nothing better has come up. I'm sure unless I'm not really bored when I'm 50+ I'll be going to church regularly, whatever the denomination.
I'm probably not the right person to ask about "the pope", with my limited knowledge about the Bible, but I don't see the big deal about him. Seems as useless as the Kings/Queens/Princesses/Princes in the UK. Nothing but a flashy figurehead.
It's actually sick how much money Christian Religions make per year and pay zero taxes on. I'm sure if I looked into it, it would be equally sick how much money other religions do the same.
I think it's time Jesus came back down and tossed over all the altars and used his magic laser beam eyes to paint churches in the US to be targeted by a massive air-strike by Jehovah.
