They did not have sexual relations with those men.

I normally wouldn't thank anybody for posting pictures of old men in drag with prostitutes, but just this once, go on and just post them.

For a moment, I thought that read "Pope-Topping Gay Sex Scandal." We'll have to wait for confirmation on tops and bottoms.

I can't wait for accounts and photos to emerge, so Savage can break down their technique and etiquette. Also, stay tuned for dead bodies.

Well I'm convinced. The Vatican has historically been very honest and forthcoming, and is therefore a very trustworthy source.

I can't believe you people are swallowing this horse shit. It makes no difference whether it's true or not. None at all.

The only issue is whether Ratzi is going to be frog-marched into The Hague to answer for crimes against humanity, for running the world's largest child molesting organization.

That's a little more important than a few orgies, gay or straight.

C'mon people..name like even ONE sex scandal that the Church has been convicted in? Ya...that's what I thought.. Case closeted! ..er, I mean closed...

I realize the Vatican are a bunch of despicable assholes, but I don't see how you can be mad at them for denying this scandal. I mean, that's just what you do with scandals, you deny them, doesn't matter if they're true or not. How would it help the church if they were open and honest about fucking a bunch of gay prostitutes? Would you be less angry? I'm not saying the Catholic Church is in the right here, they're just playing by the time honored formula of the public scandal: First comes the accusations, then the denial, then the evidence surfaces, then a half-hearted apology.

I agree with Dan. If there were no substance to the rumors, the obvious answer would be "Oh, yeah? Bring it on, bitches."

Let's hope it topples more than the pope.

I wanna see a photo of a Vatican priest getting the depths of his existence plunged. The church has always been a gang of thieves, liars and perverts. No better than the rest of us. They can claim god alright. Only their god is sick and twisted. Just like them.

It can't be wrong to laugh about this, when it feels so right.

All the comments in Paul's post last night about this story apply to this post.

I'm sure that all those who have potentially damning photographs or evidence of such things will be summarily "dealt with" by the Vatacan's Sin-Eaters, the agents of Opus Dei, or the Priory of Sion. You think the Scientologists are bad? Amateurs.

Whether the story is true or not, if this means more people are going to be openly mocking organized religion (especially this organized religion), I'm all for it. I have no great expectations that Pope Palpatine will ever see criminal charges for his involvement in covering up child abuse, but if he goes to his grave convinced that this has done significant harm to his church, that will do.

How do you say "lemon party" in Latin?
16
So... Basically Paul, you're writing about some random report of which there's no proof about (yet). But you're pissed off at it anyway, you wish it was true, and some rant about Tom Cruise (?).

Wow.

Actually, "pope toppling" is a recognized sport that began when a deranged woman in a red jacket jumped over the barricade in St. Peter's not one, but two, Christmas eves in a row and sent the pope teetering and finally crashing to the ground in front of the altar. The television stations in Italy had a field day running and rerunning the clips of the pope's slow descent, miter still fixed firmly to his head. Best two Christmases ever!

Forget the UW's version of the Harlem Shake, check out the swim team guys from Catholic Seattle U--okay, they are Jesuits, but still...

This is treading dangerously close to Glenn Beck's birther "I'm not saying this is true, but other people are saying it, and I'm just asking questions" approach to rumor-mongering. The fact that it sounds plausible doesn't make it true.

No photos, no story.

If the gay sex involves grown up, willing men, who cares? This would only be a scandal if it involves children/underage boys.

Who actually believes that priests are celibate?
22
If the church being uncovered as nothing but a giant child-rape factory did not stop people from sending them money and worshipping the ground they walk on, a few gay orgies will not change anything either.

Please wait...
