THE Irish College in Rome has a “gay friendly” reputation and a series of homosexual incidents have been reported there, according to a report carried out for Pope Benedict.

The report, by the Archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, has called for substantial reform at the institution which educates students for the priesthood.

Cardinal Dolan found that the college “suffers from the reputation of being gay friendly, however unjust such a reputation might be”.

His report says “a recent series of homosexually directed improprieties have been reported at the college”.
