The new book "In the Vatican closet" of the French journalist and writer Frederic Martel, to be published next week, reveals that 80% of the priests working in the Vatican are homobaduals, according to the Catholic portal The Tablet.

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.

Martel discovered that even though some priests have discreet relationships, others are looking for occasional high risk encounters. Some deny their baduality.

In addition, according to the author, the opposition to which Pope Francis is confronted within the Church, this should be due to their 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. this creates conditions in which abuse is not confronted.
