WisemanMarvelg at the myster sanctum that his new book explor, the French journalist Frédéric Martel wr that “even San Francis’s Castro” there aren’t “que as many gays.
FOUR FIVE VATIN PRITS ARE GAY, BOOK CLAIMS
It clus the claim that about 80 percent of the male Roman Catholic clergy members who work at the Vatin, around the pope, are gay. It ntends that the more showily homophobic a Vatin official is, the more likely he belongs to that crowd, and that the higher up the cha of mand you go, the more gays you fd.
THE VATIN'S GAY OVERLORDS
Whatever Martel’s tent, “In the Closet of the Vatin” may be ls a nstctive reckong than a stockpile of ammunn for ant right-wg Catholics who already ch to nduct a wch hunt for gay prits, many of whom are exemplary — and chaste — servants of the church.
]Although Martel himself is openly gay, he sensatnaliz gayns by votg his quiry to Catholic officials who have had sex wh men, not on who have had sex wh women.
The promise of celibacy that prits make forbids all sexual partners, and what vlat Catholic teachg isn’t jt gay sex but sex outsi marriage. In that ntext, Martel’s foc on homosexualy buys to the notn that ’s pecially troublg and tone don’t help. ” Inpennt studi put the percentage of gay men among Catholic prits the Uned Stat at 15 percent to 60 a telephone terview on Thursday, Martel strsed that the 80 percent isn’t his timate but that of a former prit at the Vatin whom he quot by name the book.
THE VATIN’S GAY OVERLORDS
It nam nam, and while many belong to Vatin officials and other prits who are ad or whose sexual inti have e unr public scty before, Martel also lavish nsirable energy on the suggtn that Francis’ precsor, Pope Benedict XVI, and other towerg figur the church are gay. All the while he promoted the church’s teachg that all gay men are “objectively disorred” and embraced s ban on prits who are believed to have “ep-seated homosexual tennci, ” whether they act on them or of my ncern about the book is the timg of s release, which cis precisely wh an unprecented meetg at the Vatin about sexual abe the church. But the book “is also bound to shift attentn away om child abe and onto gay prits general, once aga falsely nflatg people’s mds homosexualy and pedophilia, ” said the Rev.
He’s book don’t equate them, and fact mak the different, important pot that the church’s culture of secrecy — a culture created part by gay prits’ need to nceal who they are — works agast the exposure of molters who are guilty of David Clohsy, a longtime advote for survivors of sexual abe by prits, said to me on the phone a few days ago: “Many prits have a huge discentive to report sexual miseds by lleagu. And gay men are creatur of stealth and agents of ceptn who band together eccentric societi wh odd ruals.
