The Holy See paid 20m euros (£17.5m) in 2008 for around 20 apartments in the building for the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples.

Its Prefect Emeritus, Cardinal Ivan Dias, is one of the priestly residents.

The proximity to Europa Multiclub, billed as Italy's top gay sauna, has drawn comment due to the Vatican's strict stance on gay partnerships.

The facility boasts a Turkish bath, Finnish sauna, whirlpools and massages.

Also on offer are "bear parties", which are advertised on its website with a video of a man stripping down before donning clerical attire.

Maybe they will get to know some of the gays and learn what great guys we are.

That's so great---it really says it all. A guy picked me up about 5 years ago--I was in a foreign country vacationing---he was really handsome--Spanish---He said he would drive me to my hotel---We messed around a little in the car---He asked me what I do--I told him--and I said-- and what do you do? He said he was a Jesuit priest. I freaked.

I can relate to that.
My story was that I hooked up with a guy and after the sex he wanted tell me about himself.
I was of the mind, no need, I can figure it out..... you are married, I saw the ring....

His answer was that nope, he was a priest.... I said "get the fuck out of here"
His response was "Should I leave?"
I said "No, I don't believe you"
He then went and told me about his life and the priesthood.

My mind was blown away.

The sex was ok.

The stupefying orthodoxy is the main reason I'm a lapsed Catholic... just so judgemental and negative towards gays, restrictive on birth control, married or women priests...just so authoritarian and patriarchical and that's even with all the changes of Vatican II ( which many Church leaders think goes too far) You get two ultraconservative popes choosing the current voting members and there are precious few if any who really have an independent streak. Even if there are some big time closet cases among the hierarchy.

It's hilarious this purchase though at least the gay sauna is age appropriate,lol.... bet Cardinal Dias makes every effort he can to "pray away the gay" with the guys having an apartment there. Among other things!
