A:We n never really know how many pop have been actively homosexual, but at least some have been known to be, while some others have been spected of beg homosexual. Generally, the existence of an illegimate child, or "nephew", n be taken as proof that a pope was not homosexual, although some pop have been bisexual. On the other hand, tense homophobia n sometim be a sign of homosexual self-hatred. Another veat is that so ltle is known about the pop of the first lennium, that we n not say who was gay and who was pop who are thought may have been homosexual clu: Benedict IX, Urban VI, Pl II, Juli II, Leo X, Pl VI, Benedict recent tim, would have been unthkable to enquire about the sexual orientatn of a pope, but thgs began to change. A number of people have provid ttimony that Pope Pl VI was actively homosexual, even that he has ught by police the pany of a man who ma no secret of their timate relatnship. Richard Sipe says of Pope Benedict XVI, and directly of Pope Pl VI, "I have asked a number of Roman clerics and members of the Roman prs rps if they thk the pope is gay. None, of urse, wish to be named for obv reasons, but every one was nvced that Pope Benedict XVI is gay. I repeat what I said at the outset. This do not impute s or the misbehavr that plagued Pope Pl VI, but is a strong assertn about his orientatn."

POPE FRANCIS LLS ON PARENTS TO 'NEVER NMN' GAY CHILDREN
The first gay pope For many of the same reasons that Clton has been lled the "first Black print", one uld argue that Pope Francis serv to be known as the "first gay pope". A style of openns and acceptance First of all, he is not aaid to e words like gay and lbian, rather than the psdo-clil "persons wh a same-sex attractn" term that's ed by many the Church (pecially those who appear doctrally rigid and fixated on the ss of the flh).

So while the pope has changed nothg terms of official law or teachg, he has -- a real sense -- changed everythg terms of attu and ethos, jt by his own personal approach to gay people.
Francis has done more than any pope sce the so-lled sexual revolutn of the 1960s -- when people started to beg intifyg more openly as homosexuals -- to promote the rights and digny of gays and lbians wh the Catholic Church. And this has eed more prits and bishops who would have been reful to appear as "gay iendly", even up to a few years ago, to imate the pope's style of openns and acceptance.
WAS THERE EVER AN OPENLY GAY POPE?
Not judgg gay prits A lot of very good and rmative articl have wrten about how Francis has begun changg the way the Church se and treats homosexuals, exclively by his own posive example.
The qutn he was asked ncerned one of his close Vatin ais, a prit who had been disvered to be a homosexual liaison (or stable relatnship) durg service at the papal nunciature Uguay, and whether there was a "gay lobby" the Vatin.
Reassurg those who stggle, while challengg the hypocr Though 's still nsired a tabu to speak of homosexualy among the Church's ordaed misters, Francis has begun -- even jt a ltle -- to break the silence. The attu the pope has displayed towards gay people n only be a strong affirmatn for the men whose very Church has told them they are serly and fundamentally screwed up. The Church, on the other hand, has been led at tim -- even relatively recent history -- by pop who would surely be nsired homosexuals by today's unrstandg of the term.
