Vatican police raided a drug-fueled gay sex party at a top priest’s apartment near the city, according to an Italian newspaper report.

The apartment’s occupant, who was not named by police, serves as a secretary to Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, a personal advisor to Pope Francis.

The apartment belongs to the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith - the branch that reviews appeals from clergy found guilty of sexual abuse of minors, according to Italian daily Il Fatto Quotidiano, which first published the explosive report.

Police raided the apartment in June after neighbors complained of unusual behavior among frequent nighttime visitors.

And somewhere, St. Peter is saying "No, dammit-it's 'upon this ROCK I shall build my church"!.

Imagine all the people struggling with the cognitive dissonance of being part of a religion that is viciously anti-human. Imagine how much happier they'll be when they can just BE humans all day every day.

No more pretending to a fake god and denying their basic human nature for a fake caricature of humans as sinful and fallen, and denying us our basic humanity. Sexuality is human nature. There's nothing sinful about it.

The sooner this fevered nightmare of a controlling, fabricated, inhumane institution ends, the better.

>>in the very apartment owned by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith where Joseph Ratzinger lived for decades before becoming Pope Benedict XVI.

"Drug-fueled gay orgy" in the palace of the Inquisition.

How can anyone take this group seriously anymore?

*They say "Police" in the OP article, but the authorities they called were the Swiss Guard, you know, the guys in stripes with feathers in their shiny helmets that carry pikes. That is quite a scene being painted!
