Eighty per cent of Vatican priests are gay according to explosive new book which claims to uncover double lives of homophobic priests who use male prostitutes

• 570-page expose to be released next week as Pope holds sex abuse summit
• Author Frederic Martel said book exposes double life of some senior clerics
• Found some had discreet relationships with men, while others used prostitutes

You sometimes see similar comments about child molesters, that a disproportionate number are gay. As with that article, it's actually about the limited opportunities. Men are not likely to be put in charge of young girls, only boys. Catholic priests in the Vatican do not get the opportunity to get it on with women. Look at the amount of gay sex that goes on in prisons, not because most prisoners are gay, just because they have no women.

If straight hormonal males can't get females they tend to take the next best thing. I call it the The Mobile Syndrome. ...keyholes in the doors,
And there's knotholes in the floors...

PS Oi! that song link doesn't include the bit about girls wearing iron undies and taking them off on Sundays.

If it's true it does illustrate, yet again, what a load of carp religion is. It does nothing for human behaviour.

Is that the same for the army too? Do we know any soldiers who are willing to tell the truth? Nah, they'll deny it to protect the truth .... what goes on in a West German shed, stays in a West German shed

Well there's nothing wrong with being gay. Unless you're catholic, then it's a sin and you will burn in hell.

So you're catholic, you don't fancy girls, you feel ashamed of being gay and your family won't approve. You see the church as an opportunity to live a celibate life where people will respect rather than condemn you.

Not surprising there are a greater than average number of gay priests.

Oooh, the virtue is strong in this one...

Seriously Brillo, as an Alpha-Beta you're still gonna be a Beta, you white knighting whimp!
