An official of the Roman Catholic Church in the Vatican, who was once stationed in Trinidad and Tobago, has been named in a “gay lobby” scandal currently affecting the church.
On June 15, Pope Francis appointed Monsignor Battista Ricca the Prelate of the Institute for Works of Religion (IOR), commonly known as the Vatican Bank.
The Italian news magazine L’Espresso on Friday published an article which linked Ricca to the “gay lobby” and revealed he has been involved in several relationships with men.
