A Network of Corruption in the Vatican?
First appeared on 02/22/2013. Insights is also available to members via email delivery.
Reports of a homosexual network of corruption at the Vatican have grabbed the headlines this week.

In addition, we would be very naive to suppose, in our modern culture which protects and supports the gay lifestyle, that this particular problem has not infected even the Church (as in fact we already know from the abuse scandal).
Still, this is important, and Phil Lawler offers a careful preliminary analysis: Homosexual network at the Vatican, Yes; reason for the Pope's resignation, No.
