In The Closet Of The Vatican by Frédéric Martel
Power, Homosexuality, Hypocrisy
A deeply reported investigation, based on hundreds of interviews and archival research, that portrays a pervasive but hidden gay subculture among clergy and Vatican officials and examines how enforced celibacy, secrecy, and networks of power and patronage foster double lives, hypocrisy, corruption and occasional scandal; it traces how these dynamics shape internal politics, influence policy and responses to sexual-abuse crises, and argues that greater transparency and institutional reform are needed to address the systemic problems uncovered.
