MORE Fun Shit From the Catholics

A day ahead of the papal conclave, faces at the scandal-struck Vatican were even redder than usual after it emerged that the Holy See had purchased a €23 million (£21 million) share of a Rome apartment block that houses Europe's biggest gay sauna.

The senior Vatican figure sweating the most due to the unlikely proximity of the gay Europa Multiclub is probably Cardinal Ivan Dias, the head of the Congregation for Evangelisation of Peoples, who is due to participate in tomorrow's election at the Sistine Chapel.

This 76-year-old "prince of the church" enjoys a 12-room apartment on the first-floor of the imposing palazzo, at 2 Via Carducci, just yards from the ground floor entrance to the steamy flesh pot. There are 18 other Vatican apartments in the block, many of which house priests.

The Holy See is still reeling from allegations that the previous pontiff, Benedict XVI, had quit in reaction to the presence of a gay cabal in the curia.

And with disgraced Scottish cardinal Keith O'Brien lending new weight to charges of hypocrisy against the Church's stance on homosexuality, La Repubblica newspaper noted that the presence of "Italy's best known gay sauna in the premises is an embarrassment".

Cardinal Dias, who is seen as a social conservative even by the current standards of the church hierarchy, is no doubt horrified to learn of the activities taking place a floor below.

It is not known, however, if the former archbishop of Bombay has popped downstairs to give spitiual guidances to the clients of the Europa Multiclub, given his belief that gays and lesbians can be cured of their "unnatural tendencies" through the "sacrement of penance".

The lulz are endless.  =D>

The "sacrament of penance?" That joke writes itself.

Even though it's much more likely that he's giving another kind of guidance to those who frequent the club.

It is very funny, but on the other hand extremely sad that a vast proportion of the entire human race is too stupid to stop blindly continuing to follow this backwards cult despite example after example of their utter ridiculousness and constant displays of immorality, both by normal standards and their own, twisted, made up ones.
