Pope Francis

On the eve of a major Vatican sex abuse summit, conservative leaders are trying to deflect their responsibility by blaming gay people.

Priests with “homosexual tendencies” are barred from the priesthood unless they prove they have been celibate for three years. But even that might not be enough.

His wishy-washy response to the Church’s sex abuse scandal leaves space to make LGBTQ people the scapegoat.

With no changes in canon law, seminarian training, and his level of moral culpability, Francis’s church has done nothing to earn forgiveness.

The Vatican has engaged in an ongoing cover up about the secret meeting. Now that the truth has come out, the lawbreaking Kentucky clerk’s lawyers are crowing.

The Vatican originally said they had a short, perfunctory meeting. Now a high-ranking official says it was much more.

Ultraconservative clergy are going after Pope Francis because they think he’s a heretic on LGBTQ issues and they’re using abused children as pawns.

Now the Vatican is walking it back.

Several Catholic leaders in the U.S. say that the latest abuse scandal is really a gay scandal.

Ireland’s gay prime minister wants to address same-sex marriage with the pontiff, saying the church should be supportive of love and commitment.
