Suspended Vatican Official Insists He Was Only Pretending to Be Gay When Secretly Filmed

A Vatican official suspended after being caught on hidden camera making advances to a young man said in an interview published Sunday that he is not gay and was only pretending to be gay as part of his work.

In an interview with La Repubblica newspaper, Monsignor Tommaso Stenico said he frequented online gay chat rooms and met with gay men as part of his work as a psychoanalyst. He said that he pretended to be gay in order to gather information about "those who damage the image of the Church with homosexual activity."

The Vatican after acted Vatican officials recognized Stenico's office in the background of a television program on gay priests that was broadcast on Oct. 1 on La7, a private Italian TV network. Stenico was secretly filmed making advances to a young man and asserting that gay sex was not sinful.

After you stop laughing, and if you are not easily offended, you might want to check out this video by Louis CK on the secret of the Catholic Church. The Rude One posted the link today. Rude stuff for sure.

3. Wow, just unbelievable.

It's amazing how far beyond the realm of credibility these guys will go in denying their sexuality, long after it's obvious to any casual observer.
