Sex abuse scandal. Guess the sexual orientation?

Vatican hit by gay sex scandal

Vatican chorister sacked for allegedly procuring male prostitutes for papal gentleman-in-waiting

The Vatican was today rocked by a sex scandal reaching into Pope Benedict's household after a chorister was sacked for allegedly procuring male prostitutes for a papal gentleman-in-waiting.

Angelo Balducci, a Gentleman of His Holiness, was caught by police on a wiretap allegedly negotiating with Thomas Chinedu Ehiem, a 29-year-old Vatican chorister, over the specific physical details of men he wanted brought to him. Transcripts in the possession of the Guardian suggest that numerous men may have been procured for Balducci, at least one of whom was studying for the priesthood.

The explosive claims about Balducci's private life have caused grave embarrassment to the Vatican, which has yet to publicly comment on the affair.

While Catholicism does not condemn homosexuality outright, its teaching is that homosexual acts "are intrinsically disordered". The Catechism of the Catholic church states unequivocally: "Under no circumstances can they be approved."

The Catholic Church really needs to do something about all the homosexuals in its midst...

He then suggests Balducci meet a man who he describes is "two metres tall … 97 kilos … aged 33, completely active."

You sure have an odd definition of "pedophile..."

An adult chorister soliciting adult male prostitutes is a positive yawner these days.

What's the big deal then? Is Asher really bashing the Church because it's full of gay men who like to have gay sex? I just assumed there had to be at least a little kiddy-fiddling going on, based on past Church behavior and all the hand-wringing over this...

[Boris Godunov]

This guy must be bisexual, he's married.

Asher can speak for himself, but I think it's more Asher bashing the church for hating on gays while so many within it are secret gay sex fiends.

[Drake Tungsten]

Married men don't have sex with their wives, genius.

Back to solving the problem, I believe the RCC has successfully used a method of dealing with sinners in its midst before. Another Inquisition is in order, methinks.

Dude, burning queers at the stake is barbaric. The real solution is for the Church to just come out of the closet already. It's easily the gayest institution in the world.

It's just a fact, really.

It's the same story with the GOP. Gays are the worst enemies of gays. Self-hatred is a destructive force.

Burning gays at the stake... Am I the only one who had to smile to the sexual irony of that statement?

[Theben]

Not just burning: there's iron maidens, confession chairs, stocks, drowning... all sorts of methods of enhanced interrogation to find the unbelievers.

Considering how religious you are, I'm thinking you were smiling more at the sexual than the irony.

[Asher]

Yep.

[Nikolai]

People often underestimate me. I have an......unusual humour compared to many of my fellow Christians I think. Well, it just shows how prejudiced you are.

[Theben]

Or how observant.

[Boris Godunov]

I'm just confused as to what's "sexually ironic" about people being burned at the stake. Is this based on some sort of filthy euphemism or a disgusting practice that the depraved Norwegians have devised, Nikolai?
