From the Daily Mail:
Catholic sex scandal as undercover reporter 'films priests at gay clubs and having casual flings'
A gay priest sex scandal has rocked the Catholic Church in Italy today after a weekly news magazine released details of a shock investigation it had carried out.Using hidden cameras, a journalist from Panorama magazine - owned by Italian Prime Minister and media baron Silvio Berlusconi - filmed three priests as they attended gay nightspots and had casual sex.Today there was no immediate comment from the Italian Bishops Conference and the Vatican - which has been rocked by a series of sex scandals involving paedophile priests since the start of the year.
The Vicariate of Rome has responded:
The Vicar of Rome today called on homosexual clergymen in the Catholic Church to “come out” and leave the priesthood. ... “No one is forcing them to stay in the priesthood to exploit the benefits,” the Diocese of Rome said in a statement posted on its Web Site. “If they are coherent, they should come out into the open.”
The whole shocking Panorama article is available in Italian here (PDF). The main character seems to have easy access to the innermost circles of the Holy See.
