Vatican police raided a drug-fueled gay sex party at a top priest’s apartment near the city, according to an Italian newspaper report.

The apartment’s occupant, who was not named by police, serves as a secretary to Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, a personal advisor to Pope Francis.

The apartment belongs to the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith - the branch that reviews appeals from clergy found guilty of sexual abuse of minors, according to Italian daily Il Fatto Quotidiano, which first published the explosive report.

Police raided the apartment in June after neighbors complained of unusual behavior among frequent nighttime visitors.

Police arrested the priest and hospitalized him to detox him from the drugs he had ingested, according to the newspaper.

He was taken in for questioning, presumably on drugs charges, as gay sex is legal in Vatican City.

He’s currently in retreat at a convent in Italy, according to the report.

Coccopalmerio’s aide was reportedly under consideration for promotion to bishop.

His advancement in the church now seems less likely following the incident and two previous alleged drug overdoses, according to an International Business Times report.

This is the latest scandal to rock the Vatican.

Cardinal George Pell was recently charged with child sex abuse and will return to Australia to stand trial.

No kidding, but contraception is a sin?

I wouldn't confuse legal with morally ethical. We have the same laws here.

Lmao!! It's okay. They can all go to confession and do a few "Hail Mary"s ... at least it was all consenting adults this time ... I hope.

This seems to be the state of catholic priests these days.

I am a Catholic and this horrendous situation, if it is true, is nonetheless not representative of the Catholic priesthood. It is a good opportunity to see anti-Catholic prejudices come pouring out. I put this in the same category as when legal gun owners commit murder - it's bad, it happens, it doesn't represent legal gun owners as a group, nor should it prejudice anyone's view of all legal gun owners.

As to forgiveness, anyone can seek it and it will be given if sincerely sought but that doesn't remove the need to answer to the law or to make reparation if possible. In this case, if the penal law isn't an issue, the moral law still is. I for one hope that, if this is true, the clearly disturbed priest can find his way back to his faith and a devotion to holy living. Many saints arose from a personal history of various sins - the Church exists to welcome repentant sinners back not to celebrate the wonderfulness of the righteous (nor to validate sinful behavior in the name of being tolerant and open minded).

There are a hell of a lot protestant ministers and evangelists that have done the same. It's a non story except for those that want to bash Catholics.
