Rome, February 13 (RT / Sputnik) .- The new book 'In the Vatican closet', of French journalist and writer Frederic Martel, to be published next week, promises revelations that 80% of priests who work at the Vatican, they are homobaduals, according to the Catholic portal The Tablet.

According to the book – which is based on some 1,500 interviews with Vatican personalities, including 41 cardinals, 52 bishops, 45 diplomats, 11 Swiss guards and more than 200 priests and seminarians – the clergy share a secret code "closet" hide membership in a kind of community that while condemning homobaduality, practice in the dome of the same Catholic Church.

One of the most striking claims of the author concerns a Colombian cardinal, the late Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, who held a high office in the Vatican. According to Martel, López Trujillo, although a defender of the Church's teachings on homobaduality and contraception, used the services of male bad workers.

Possible reason for the opposition facing Pope Francis

Martel discovered that while some priests maintain discreet relationships, others look for occasional, high – risk encounters. Some deny their baduality.

In addition, according to the author, the opposition that Pope Francis faces in the Church is due to his repeated condemnation of the double life of the clergy.

At the same time, according to sources cited by the portal, although the book does not mix homobaduality with badual abuse of children, Martel describes a secret culture among priests that creates conditions in which there is no abuse.

However, another source told the media "that it is not always easy to perceive when Martel speaks of facts, rumors, testimonies or" they say, he says ". (RT / Sputnik)
