Vatican's "Gay Mafia" blocks discussion of abuse by homosexual priests

In his first extended interview since publishing a scathing letter calling on Pope Francis to resign, Archbishop Carlo Viganò, the former Vatican ambassador to the USA, told the Washington Post a Gay Mafia in the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church is blocking attempts to seriously address sexual abuse by homosexual priests.

The prelate told WaPo that the sexual abuse crisis would be "far less severe" if the "problem of homosexuality in the priesthood were honestly acknowledged and properly addressed.... Given the overwhelming evidence, it is mind-boggling that the word 'homosexuality' has not appeared once, in any of the recent official documents of the Holy See." Instead, he said, a "gay Mafia" among the bishops, seeking to protect themselves, was "sabotaging all efforts at reform."
