Colorado conservative Catholics track gay priests breaking celibacy vows, confirming Pope Benedict’s accounts of debauchery in American church

Though these surveillance tactics would not have necessarily been permitted by law enforcement without an appropriate warrant and probable cause of a crime, the findings of the surveillance technology fall in line with what the late Pope Benedict XVI wrote in a secret bookoutlining the presence of homosexuality within the church’s leadership.

Pope Benedict wrote: “In the context of the meeting of the presidents of the episcopal conferences of the whole work with Pope Francis…it is at heart above all the question of priestly life and also that of seminaries. As regards the problem of preparation for priestly ministry in seminaries, we note in fact a vast collapse of the current form of this preparation.”

He continued: “In various seminaries homosexual ‘clubs’ were formed which acted more or less openly and which clearly transformed the atmosphere in the seminaries. In a seminary in southern Germany, candidates for the priesthood and candidates for the lay office of pastoral referent lived together.”

“During common meals,” he went on, “the seminarians were together with married pastoral representatives, partly accompanied by their wives and children and in some cases by their girlfriends. The climate in the seminary could not help priestly formation,” adding that a “bishop who had previously been rector had allowed seminarians to be shown pornographic films, presumably with the intention of thereby enabling them to resist against behavior contrary to the faith.”

Pope Benedict’s writings are the latest in a string of books coming out of the Vatican that appear to be hostile toward Pope Francis’ apparent liberal agenda.

Though Pope Francis has condemned pornography, calling it a product of “the devil,” he conceded that nuns and priests routinely watch pornographywhich presents a danger to the soul.
