A wild new report says Vatican police raided a drug-fueled gay sex party at the apartment of an aide to one of Pope Francis' top advisers.
According to the Italian paper Il Fatto Quotidiano, the Holy Father is "enraged" since the home of Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio’s secretary belongs to the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith.
That's the branch tasked with dealing with clerical sex abuse.
Cops raided the apartment in late June after neighbors complained about a number of people visiting and acting strangely.
Inside they found guys getting high and getting it on with each other. They arrested the priest, most likely on drug charges, after taking him to a clinic to detox from his high.
Now he's on a spiritual retreat in a convent in Italy. Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio had recommended his secretary for a promotion to Bishop, but it doesn't look like that will be happening any times soon.
In addition to this incident, he has also allegedly overdosed on drugs twice in the past.
Pope Francis might force the cardinal into retirement after this fiasco, which comes just one week after the sex abuse allegations against high-ranking Cardinal George Pell.
There's a lot of lonely loins lurking underneath priest's robes...*shudder*
