How this book qualifies the Vatican as "one of the largest homosexual communities in the world"

February 21 will not be a day: it is the date chosen to start a major conference on pedophilia in the Church, but also, and this is not a coincidence, for the release of the book. Sodom, power and scandal in the Vatican, a media bomb published by Roca of over 500 pages that will arrive the same day in bookstores in 8 languages ​​and 20 countries. According to the author of the essay, the French Frederic Martel, while speaking out against LGBT people, same-bad marriage and homobadual adoption, the Catholic Church is a community that furiously contradicts this speech in practice. It's "a homophobic church but inhabited by homobadual priests," writes Martel, who that 80% of clergymen have bad with other men (this figure drops to 60 or 70% among seminarians, he says). "This is one of the largest homobadual communities in the world," says the author of the book, who claims to have consulted more than 1,500 sources among experts and insiders of the church. A big scandal at the door.

Martel, sociologist and homobadual journalist and author of the test Global Gay, denounces in his work what he calls the double speech of the Roman curia. According to the author, far from the celibacy provided by the Church, priests, bishops and even cardinals practice homobadual bad while they condemn it in their public speech and, moreover, they take action according to this ideology in which, according to their private acts and their double life, they do not believe.

For Martel, there would be no gay lobby in the minority church, but a system integrated by most priests in all countries, with particular emphasis on the ecclesiastical communities of Spain and Europe. Colombia. In fact, one of the main grievances concerns the late Colombian cardinal Alfonso López Trujillo, former president of the Pontifical Council for the Family.

Already in terms of internal politics, for the author of the book, this dynamic of double talk – anti-LGTB rhetoric and privacy with homobadual relations – is seen more clearly in the ultraconservative sector that opposes the figure. Francisco, whom Martel considers the pope more open to gays of contemporary history. In fact, the book opens with a pope's phone call to Francesco Lepore, a former priest who lived in the Vatican for a long time and who wrote to Bergoglio "to tell his story of a homobadual priest", which was, at one point, the reason that led him to abandon his habits, according to the italian newspaper The Republic.

"To be in the Vatican, it is better to respect a code, the code of the corpse in the closet", writes Martel, who explains that during this conversation, Francisco congratulates Lepore for his courage and thanks him for his sincerity.

Among the names to which Martel contributes, all belonging to the the most reactionary and ultraconservative sector of the Church and among those who would have more dual-life priests, there are several names of great prelates whowere at the time the most active opponents of condom useduring the papacy of John Paul II. The French author also suggests that Benedict XVI's resignation came after a papal trip from Cuba to Mexico, when he understood the dimension of the pedophilia scandal and homobaduality at the time of his death. Inside the Church.

Naturally, like everything about the internal Vatican, there are already furious attacks and strict defenses of the book and its contents. In addition to some observations on the rigor of the denunciations and the work done with the help of the sources cited by the author – who stayed in Buenos Aires to investigate the story of Pope Bergoglio, some claim that 39, there is an international homobadual lobby behind Martel, among which: there would be those who want to end the Catholic Church. On the other hand, the defenders of Bergoglio hope to know soon the names of the accused, among whom are all the great opponents of the Argentine pope.

Pending the publication of this book which, in Argentina, can be read only in April – although the electronic version of the controversial essay is accessible from February 21 – Frederic Martel defends professional attacks by giving figures which, in principle, should serve. to guarantee seriousness: a four-year research program in which he received contributions from 80 researchers and translators and interviewed more than 1,500 people – including 41 cardinals – in 30 different countries.

The wick is on.
