意大利:嫖男妓消防員救出神父與同性戀人教廷再爆性醜聞

再爆同性戀醜聞
教宗親信涉嫖男雛妓

教宗方濟各（Pope Francis圖）出訪巴西前，教廷再爆同性戀醜聞。教宗親信、身負整肅梵蒂岡銀行財政重任的57歲蒙席神父里卡（Battista Ricca），被揭曾與瑞士衞隊士兵是同性戀人，共涉嫌嫖男雛妓，教廷財政改革或因而受阻。

獲委改革教廷財政

意大利《快報》周刊大爆里卡情史，指他1999年出任梵蒂岡駐烏拉圭大使時，曾與一名瑞士衞隊上校哈里（Patrick Haari）有染，不但為他安排住宿、給他生活費，更曾讓他在大使官邸度宿。雖然醜聞令里卡在2000年被調離烏拉圭，但他並無因而收斂，其後曾與一名男雛妓被困升降機，要由消防員救出。

由於教廷內決定保護他，為他對外隱瞞，故此他之後仍能在教廷擔任多個要職，包括出任教宗現時住處「聖瑪爾大之家」的總監。教宗顯然不知道他的過去，仍委以重任，命他監管涉嫌洗黑錢的梵蒂岡銀行。分析認為，如今被翻舊賬，相信里卡日後難以改革梵蒂岡金融體系。

梵蒂岡發言人隆巴迪批評報道「毫無根據」，但《快報》強調，這個消息是經多名主教與神父證實。

Scandal-hit Vatican bank struck by ‘gay lobby’ conspiracy claims Italian magazine

A few hours before Francis started his first overseas tour to Brazil, the Vatican’s ‘gay lobby’ was back in the headlines after the alleged exposure of a homosexual prelate appointed by the pope to a key position at the Vatican bank, IOR.

Battista Ricca allegedly involved in gay relations while posted in Uruguay including a Swiss Guard he had sent to Montevideo Battista Ricca allegedly involved in gay relations while posted in Uruguay including a Swiss Guard he had sent to Montevideo

The Italian weekly L’Espresso said prelate Battista Ricca had gay relationships during his time at the Vatican embassy of Montevideo in Uruguay as well as an affair with a Swiss guard which ultimately saw him sent back to Rome in disgrace.

Vatican expert for L’Espresso Sandro Magister said Ricca provided lodgings and a pay check for captain Patrick Haari in 1999 and was once left badly beaten after trawling notorious gay hangouts before his behaviour saw him transferred out of Montevideo in 2000.

An internal bid to protect him and cover up the scandal meant Francis apparently had no idea about Ricca’s past before he appointed him as his personal representative at the scandal-hit bank this year.

Ricca went on to hold several prestigious positions in Rome, including the director of the Santa Martha residence where the pope lives. Magister said the wiping of Ricca’s records was an example of a “gay lobby” at work in the Vatican.

Vatican spokesman Frederico Lombardi brushed off the story as “not credible” but the magazine insisted the allegations were confirmed by primary sources. It said “numerous bishops, priests, religious and laity” in Uruguay had testified against Ricca.

Religious watchers said the leaks about Ricca’s past may be an internal attempt to block the prelate from carrying out reforms.

In June, Francis admitted the existence of a “gay lobby” inside the Vatican’s secretive administration, the Roman Curia.

“In the Curia, there are truly some saints, but there is also a current of corruption… There is talk of a ‘gay lobby’ and it’s true, it exists,” he was quoted as having said during an audience with CLAR (the Latin American and Caribbean Confederation of Religious Men and Women).

The admission followed Italian media reports in February which claimed that a secret report by cardinals investigating leaks from within the Vatican included allegations of corruption and blackmail attempts against gay clergymen, and on the other hand, favouritism based on gay relationships.

If the allegations are proven to be true, it would be a blow to Francis’s attempts to clean up the scandal-hit Vatican.
