Former Vatican worker says many Catholic priests are gay

David Berger, an openly gay German theologist and former employee of the Vatican, has confirmed what we all suspected: many priests are gay. In fact, Berger claimed that at his old job almost 50 percent of the priests were more interested in men than women.

"In the Vatican, I experienced the number of gay men to be even higher [than average]," he said. "I guess around half [of the men working there]."

Berger suggested that homosexuals can actually become the best priests.

" ... You have the advantage of having many gay men with a guilty conscience. They do their best to be especially smart, loyal to the Pope and hard working," he said. "Which is why they have the best chances for a career and, through this, get into the Vatican.

"There, they find a network of gay men in which people help each other out."

Of course, the unwritten rule is that one must never ever come out as gay. Berger worked as an academic at the Pontifical Academy of St Thomas Aquinas in Vatican City, but when he revealed he was gay he was promptly fired.

Thanks to several gay porn producers, it's easy to imagine just what sex with a priest looks likes!
