80% of Vatican priests are gay and lead double lives of homophobic priests, claims explosive book
At least 80 percent of Vatican priests are homosexuals and are living in the closet, claims a new explosive book. The exposé, titled 'In the Closet of the Vatican', which is set to be released next week claims that at least four in five clerics in the Roman Catholic Church are gay. The 570-page book, however, claims that the closeted priests are not necessarily sexually active, according to reports.
The author Frederic Martel, a French sociologist and journalist, spent nearly four years conducting 1,500 interviews for the book. Martel reportedly found out that some of the priests maintained discreet long-term relationships while others lived double lives, portraying homophobia outside while having casual sexual intercourse with gay partners and using male prostitutes.
