Repignican Hypocrisy Strikes the Vatican


VATICAN CITY (AP) - The Vatican said Saturday it has suspended a monsignor from a senior post at the Holy See after an Italian TV program using a hidden camera recorded him making advances to a young man and asserting that gay sex was not sinful.

The Vatican did not identify the monsignor by name. But Monsignor Tommaso Stenico confirmed in a telephone interview with The Associated Press that he had been suspended from his post at the Vatican 's Congregation for Clergy, an office which aims to ensure proper conduct by priests.
Is this not classic Repignican-honed hypocrisy or what?

Remember Congressman Mark Foley who resigned the House after sending umpteen suggestive messages to underage kids. His major effort in the House was family values (of course) and a law designed to protect kids from predators.

Now we have a Catholic priest (immediately we know where that leads) who ran an office designed to "ensure proper conduct by priests" hitting on a guy for gay sex. I'm sure if this had happened in the United States that Bill Clinton would have been blamed for it. Classic
