As reported in many media outlets, conservative Italian magazine Panorama has published an report following the lurid double lives led by gay priests in Italy. Using hidden cameras, the priests were found to be frequenting gay clubs and engaging in casual sex.
Personally, I find this report hypocritical and a set up by the Catholic Church to divert attention from the more funadamental problems it is facing and trying to use homosexuals as scapegoats for all of its ills. The insinuation here with this report is that only evil deviates like gay people could committ such treachery. Of course, anyone who has had any affiliation with any organised religion knows that it's not just the gay priests who are engaging in sinful ways. For each of these three naughty gay priests, there would be dozens more straight priests doing the same and more. However there's no deliberate attempt to make this public.
Essentially, the more the Catholic Church avoids the real issues, such that it has been their straight priests who have been sexually molesting children, the more it heads towards its own self-destruction.
