Francis visited Chiapas in and has long championed the rights of indigenous peoples. After the ceremony, Francis and the new cardinals paid a visit to Benedict, who lives across the Vatican gardens in a converted monastery. Francis, again sans mask, greeted his predecessor warmly. The cardinals greeted Benedict, kissed his hand and sang a prayer as the retired pope, who is 93 and frail, listened. Only Gregory and one other new cardinal kept his mask on during the encounter.

Benedict, Me and the Cardinals Three

While Morris includes a few autobiographical details, the vast bulk of this book deals with events which transpired from the late s through to early and will be of interest to historians and contemporary observers for the light it sheds on the relationship between Australia and Rome in the wake of the much-debated Statement of Conclusions, a document outlining the allegedly parlous state of the Catholic Church in Australia which upon its release caused a minor furor over claims its conclusions were based on a minority opinion and not reflective of the Australian reality. The great strength of this book is its extensive documentation, including Morris' correspondence with Rome and pastoral documents, which allows the reader to assess many of the claims made within the body of the text. By now the rough outline of events leading to Morris' downfall is well-known and in purely factual terms can be summarized thus: Morris fell afoul of a minority of his parishioners and various Roman dicasteries due to his alleged lax attitude toward individual confession and overutilization of the Third Rite of Reconciliation and, more seriously, his perceived "advocacy" for women's ordination and the recognition of Protestant orders in a Advent pastoral letter. He was ostensibly sanctioned on the grounds that all public discussion of women's ordination had been closed following Pope John Paul Il's Ordinatio Sacerdotalis and the view in Rome that raising this matter showed poor pastoral sense. In the eyes of Rome this pastoral letter, coupled with other aspects of his episcopal ministry not all of which are made clear and some clearly based on errors of fact , warranted his removal from his role as bishop. What remains hotly disputed, as the mixed-reception of Morris' book among reviewers indicates, is whether Morris was culpable for the second accusation leveled at him, and more importantly in the eyes of Morris and his supporters whether he was denied natural justice in the proceedings against him. Only history, and fuller access to documentation, will satisfactorily answer these questions, nevertheless Morris' account offers a valuable primary source for understanding the recent history of the Church in Australia. The preexisting cleavages with the Australia Church which crystallized in the wake of the Statement of Conclusions--in particular through an emboldened attitude amongst disaffected conservatives and a series of arguably conservative appointments to key positions within the Church-- and the marked contrasts in pastoral style, ecclesiology, and attitudes toward Vatican II which divide many Australia Catholics form the immediate context of the events which led-up to Morris' effective dismissal as Bishop of Toowoomba in In essence this book is a narrative about conflict between two styles of Church leadership and pastoral ministry. They are the ones who are always forgotten, and read out of the story from both sides. When Paul VI assumed the throne, in , by one account he took his papal name not from any predecessor but from a former lover, a film actor. That at least was the contention of the provocative gay French writer Roger Peyrefitte, whose allegations about Paul VI caused such a stir that Paul took to the balcony of St. Paul looked a laughingstock, and the Curia learned a lesson: better to ignore such charges than to amplify them by denial. By the s, the center of gay life in Rome was a cruising area called Monte Caprino, on the Capitoline Hill. At a small party of gay monks and their friends in Rome last summer, conversation turned to recollections of that place. The area was a target for muggers and thieves, who figured rightly that clerics would make ideal victims because they had much to lose by the public act of pressing charges. One gay former seminarian recalled a night when three men beat him up and stole his wallet while numerous men in the crowded park stood by. Gay clerics often fail to help one another, he says, for the same reason that no one tried to help him the night that he was robbed: solidarity entails the risk of being outed. Self-centeredness can breed a sense of entitlement. There has been plenty of scandal, though. The priest was acquitted on all charges after claiming that he fled because he feared he was being kidnapped. In a investigation of contract fixing for construction projects, Italian police wiretaps happened to catch a papal usher and Gentleman of His Holiness, Angelo Balducci, allegedly hiring male prostitutes, some of whom may have been seminarians, through a Nigerian member of a Vatican choir. The choir member was dismissed; Balducci was convicted on corruption charges. Pope Benedict was rumored to have ordered that prelates who were living double lives be retired or removed from Rome. Marco Politi speculates that perhaps as many as 30 were eased out. Andrews and Edinburgh. Even Benedict has been dogged by rumors that he is gay. It is more or less impossible for gay clerics to articulate their affections in any way that does not amount to what an Anglo-Saxon mind might see as hypocrisy. Yet such a dualistic existence is very much a part of Church tradition. This is the country that tolerated the sexual escapades and serial frauds of former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi with scarcely a hint of protest from the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. The culture of deception operates according to signals and conventions by which gay clerics navigate their lives. Camp is perhaps the most powerful and pervasive of these codes, though it can be difficult to define. Ironic, effeminate self-mockery—allowing priests to exercise some limited rebellion against their own isolation and invisibility—is one form of clerical camp. It shows a plain-looking cardinal watching a runway show of over-the-top clerical attire—which ends when the departed Pope steals the show by appearing in the glorious garb of a Sun God. It was about how we should appear. Which in turn puts a premium on outward appearance and enforces conformity to a certain official ideal. This is what makes us powerful. Not the protection of medieval institutions. But la bella figura matters just as much at ordinary moments. Especially for clerics who break the vow of celibacy, it is crucial to keep up appearances in the normal course of life. Gay saunas are good places to meet other gay priests and monks. The best times to find clerics at the saunas are late afternoon or evening on Thursdays when pontifical universities have no classes or Sundays after Mass. Some gay celibate clerics use the saunas not for sex but to experience a sense of fellowship with others like themselves. Everyone knows everything. The more senior the cleric, the more likely he may be to play loose with the rules. Some Curia officials are said to handpick extremely handsome men for menial jobs in order to make Vatican City more scenic. A layman I know whose job requires frequent trips to the Vatican used to enjoy flirting with a muscular go-go boy who danced on the bar at a gay nightclub in Rome. One day at the Vatican, this layman was amazed to see the dancer out of context, dressed in the uniform of a security guard. Sometimes talking to gay priests feels like reading stories by Borges. For those who want it, organized networks can provide some grounding. A few small groups of gay Catholics in Rome operate publicly, but because anyone can come to their meetings, it can be risky for priests, especially Vatican officials, to be part of them. One private group of about 50 gay priests and laymen meets once a year, for a kind of retreat. A Vatican priest I met with—he actually invited me to stop by his office near St. He says that his superiors, including at least one very prominent Vatican official, have long known he is gay, and have even promoted him since learning that fact. Yet gays in the Vatican, like spies in intelligence services, inhabit boxes within boxes. The priest who helps with the group of 50 raised his eyebrows when I repeated to him something an archbishop had told me. As you would expect, the priest I met in the sauna looks rather different with vestments on. When I walked into church a few days later, for Sunday-morning Mass, he was the celebrant—even though, when we met, he had said he was about to leave town. Maybe his plans had changed again. He was preaching a homily on the Gospel reading, the parable of the Good Samaritan. The priest told the congregation that this story was a challenge. From the day after the conclave ended—when Francis went back to his hotel and personally checked out, paid his bill, and picked up his suitcase—the new Pope has surprised people with his actions. During Holy Week, he went to a juvenile prison and washed the feet of inmates, including two girls and two Muslims. One morning, he reportedly made a sandwich for the Swiss Guard who had stood sentinel outside his room all night. He invited homeless people for dinner in the Vatican gardens. As noted, the phrase first gained currency before Francis came on the scene, but it returned to public discussion just as he got serious about what may be a hallmark of his papacy: a cleanup of Vatican corruption. The scope of his concern about abuse of power seems total. For a long time, gay priests have made for convenient scapegoats and handy pawns in Church power games. All of them, whether actively or passively, have helped create these roles for themselves, and they can hardly imagine a different reality—unless they were to emerge from the closet and get thrown out of the priesthood. But not speak out. They believe that nothing and no one could make the Church safe for them.
