Pope "infuriated" after cops raid drug-fueled "gay orgy" at Vatican priests apartment

[Miles Archer]

According to the New Zealand Herald, Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano is reporting that Vatican police raided an apartment in June at the former palace of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to break up an orgy taking place.

“The occupant of the apartment is alleged to be a priest who serves as a secretary to Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, the head of the Pontifical Council for Legislative texts and a personal adviser to the Pope,” the New Zealand Herald explains.

Police were alerted to the alleged orgy after neighbors became suspicious about the behavior of people going into and out of the apartment. When police entered the apartment, they discovered illegal drugs, as well as men engaging in sexual activity.

Il Fatto Quotidiano reports that Pope Francis was “infuriated” by news of the alleged orgy, and the publication suggested that the scandal may force Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio into retirement.

1. Holy Roman Orgy, Batman!

14. "Roman orgies" are a myth.

The stories were created by early Christians to slam all Romans as "decadent."

15. Tell that to the pope

[Kaleva]

16. A link at the site you linked to says otherwise.

Early Romans were prudish but that chaned as Rome expanded its boundries and adopted foriegn mores and customs.

22. Said the people who didn't get invited to those kind of parties.

2. Headline made it sound like he was mad at the cops

He's mad at the Cardinal

4. That's what I thought

[WinkyDink]

9. Exactly. Deliberately misleading, IMO.

[njhoneybadger]

26. Right, that's misleading

3. How DARE grown ups do as they please

In the privacy of their own home!

I say we call the police! No, call the pope! Call both! The important thing is that we control these men's lives right down to the forms of consensual pleasure they're allowed to feel!

5. actually the sex isn't what got them raided and arrested

it was the drugs. Apparently, the sex isn't illegal under Vatican law. Now as to keeping his job, well that is another matter all together.

6. They want to control everyone else's, and my reproductive rights.

If they don't want to be controlled they can start by stop being fucking hypocrites. Literally.

[Nevernose]

10. I'm not saying he isn't a hypocrite

i just don't see anything wrong with sex and drugs is all.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

13. I'll expend my sympathy on the Church's real victims.

[OceanChick]

30. And there are plenty of victims of the the Catholic church

I just watched The Keepers and I am enraged about how many girls were sexually tortured at a Catholic school and how the murder of a Nun is still being covered up by the church. Sickening and pathetic that nothing has changed.

7. Really!

A Cardinal in the Church- one of the few that elect a new Pope and could be appointed a Pope and you see nothing wrong in his acts? If he wants to acts in a way to anathema to the Church he represents he should have resigned long ago and gone his separate way.

[Nevernose]

8. No, I think this cardinal is a hypocrite at best

If he doesn't agree with the church's teachings, he should quit.

But that doesn't excuse a police raid over sex and what turned out to be drugs. It's ridiculous on all levels.

[WinkyDink]

11. Those pesky church/professional vows.

[superpatriotman]

12. Were they 'sex' drugs? Or 'drug' drugs?

There is a distinction.

Would alcohol have been acceptable?

[Hieronymus]

17. Shades of NY Cardinal Francis Spellman.

18. Lord have mercy!

[LOL Lib]

19. I wonder if any participants had a "come to Jesus" moment?

[superpatriotman]

20. Naughty naughty

[LOL Lib]

21. I couldn't resist

[FSogol]

23. If I said, "Take this body in remembrance of me...", would that be blasphemy?

[LOL Lib]

24. Oooh that's a good one.

Hope no seed was spilled on the floor. That made God very angry in the Old Testament.

[RKP5637]

28. OMG, sacred juice!

[LOL Lib]

25. I wish we could rec a post, you would get a rec for that one.

[RKP5637]

27. No, I think it was just a cum moment!

[lindysalsagal]

29. Seriously, think of all the young people thrown out of their families for being gay

some of them eventually commit suicide from the rejection. And here it's all going on in the vatican.

I believe only one thing: Religion only harms people. Even if it's your aunt Catherine who lives her whole life feeling like a sinner, religion hurts people.
