Vatican police raided a drug-fueled gay sex party at the apartment of an aide to one of Pope Francis’ key advisers, according to an explosive new report.
The Holy Father is “enraged,” since the home, inhabited by Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio’s secretary, belongs to the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith — the arm charged with tackling clerical sex abuse, Italian paper Il Fatto Quotidiano reports.
Cops raided the apartment in late June after neighbors complained about multiple people visiting the apartment and acting strangely.
Inside, police said they found men getting high and getting it on, the paper reports.
They arrested the priest after taking him to a clinic to detox from the drugs he’d ingested — presumably on drugs charges, as gay sex isn’t illegal in Vatican City. He is now on a spiritual retreat in a convent in Italy, the paper reports.
Coccopalmerio had recommended his secretary for a promotion to bishop, but the prospects aren’t looking good following this incident and two previous alleged drug overdoses, according to an International Business Times report.
Pope Francis may force the cardinal into retirement, the Italian paper reports.
The scandal comes just a week after the Vatican was rocked by sex abuse allegations against high-ranking Cardinal George Pell.
