Venerablis, a website run out of the Vatican, has been reported as being a gay dating site for Catholic priests.
The site, whose credo is emblazoned on the homepage as a ‘website for “homosensible Roman Catholic priests’, features chatrooms in five different languages.
Catholic writer Vittorio Messori aka Eponymous Flower, stumbled upon the site recently and discovered sexual encounters in process in the Venerablis’ chatrooms and face-to-face hook-ups being arranged between members.
Examples in the Italian chatroom include:
My name is Luca from Milan and would like to meet a priest with serious intentions to associate with him.
