There is a gay lobby in
the Vatican, just as Pope Francis has said, one of his closest
aides in Curia reform said Thursday.
"Yes, a gay lobby exists," Honduran Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez
Maradiaga told Honduran daily El Heraldo.
Maradiaga, who coordinates the so-called C9 group of
cardinals on helping Francis reform the Curia, was asked if
there had been successful attempts by a gay lobby to infiltrate
the Vatican.
"Not only that," he replied. "Even the pope said it, there
is an actual lobby."
According to Maradiaga, "the pope is gradually trying to
purify this".
He said that "one can understand homosexuals, and there is a
pastoral legislation to deal with this, but what is wrong cannot
become truth".
