The Vicar of Rome today called on homosexual clergymen in the Catholic Church to "come out" and leave the priesthood.

The Vicar of Rome, one of the most important positions in the Vatican, was responding to a report today in Panorama Magazine that said Catholic priests were conducting a double life, citing secret video footage.

"No one is forcing them to stay in the priesthood to exploit the benefits," the Diocese of Rome said in a statement posted on its Web Site. "If they are coherent, they should come out into the open."
