2010 Vatican employee sex scandal

Saint Peter's Square, Vatican City

The 2010 Vatican employee sex scandal was an incident in March 2010 in which two part-time employees of the Holy See, a consultant who also served as a lay attendant of the pope[1] and another who was a professional member of the Saint Peter's Choir,[2] were reported in the press to be part of a homosexual male prostitution ring. The Catholic Church considers prostitution and homosexual acts to be gravely sinful offenses[3] and the Vatican severed its connections with both men, one of whom had been arrested.
