A senior Vatican priest, who acknowledged - in a supposedly anonymous television interview - to engaging in homosexual relations, has been identified from background shots of his office. Vatican spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi said the monsignor is suspended from duty until an internal investigation is carried out*. The Catholic Church doesn’t consider homosexual tendencies to be sinful, but condemns homosexual acts, and teaches that priests should adhere to their vow of celibacy. Lombardi said the Vatican had to intervene decisively and severely in a case of behaviour incompatible with priestly duty and the mission of the Holy See, which is the common term for the central government of the Catholic Church.
*They probably want to know if he’s passive or... what's the opposite.
