But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Genesis 13:13
"Every evening priests have these two options," says Julius. "Vatican 'in' or Vatican 'out'" — the first is code for sex with co-religionists or young seminarians; the second is a cipher for cruising in public parks, saunas or on the internet to pick up male escorts.
Martel interrogates the "rent boys" hired by homosexual priests. The epicenter of this activity is Roma Termini, the main railway station in Rome, named after the ancient Baths of Diocletian (Latin, thermae), which lie across the street from the main entrance.
"Mohammed," a young Tunisian migrant who defends Pope Francis' immigration policies, is one of the 60 migrant prostitutes Martel interviews to investigate the commercial sex relations between the Muslim rent boys of Roma Termini and the Catholic priests of the Vatican.
The legalization of homosexuality and same-sex marriage and the proliferation of gay bars and saunas and digital apps have resulted in the market for male street prostitutes drying up in Rome. Priests keep this market alive — because it keeps them anonymous.
So how do the rent boys identify the men they are servicing as priests?
"You can tell from their crosses when they undress," says Florin, a Romanian prostitute. The crosses are unlike the crosses or baptismal medallions worn by laypeople.
Florin reveals how priests pay him to go on holiday with them.
"I went away for three days with a priest. He paid for everything. Normal." Florin also points to the regularity with which clergy hire him: "They pay a kind of subscription. And they're given a discount."
Police officers and carabinieri confirm the clerical recourse to gay prostitution through incidents of priests being robbed, kidnapped, beaten, blackmailed, arrested and even murdered while cruising for rent boys. The priests remain silent because the price for registering a police complaint would be too high.
Police sources also corroborate journalist Andrea Pini's account of gay men murdered by prostitutes in his book Omocidi (Homicides). Clergy are over-represented among the victims, police tell Martel.
An exception to migrant male prostitutes is Francesco Mangiacapra, a high-class Neapolitan escort and law student, who is willing to reveal his real name.
Mangiacapra's database is brimming with priests: "Priests are the ideal clientele. They are loyal and they pay well. If I could, I would work only for priests. I always give them priority."
In 2018, Mangiacapra revealed the sex lives of 34 priests in a 1,200-page dossier using their photographs, audio recordings, and screenshots of his sexual exchanges with them. The Preti gay (gay priests) file revealed dozens of priests celebrating Mass in their vestments and then stripping naked and performing sex acts via webcam.
The most hard-hitting part of Martel's investigation into male prostitutes is the consequences of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS afflicting gay clergy. Martel's conversations with the rent boys of Roma Termini confirm that priests are among the least prudent clients when it comes to sexual acts."
