Dr. Faggioli, papal nonces... The jokes really write themselves, don't they?

"With his partner at his side..." "OOH, he is a gay who has a sexy love partner! Well, obviously he’s fired, then, because on top of how priests aren’t supposed to be boning ANYBODY (or getting boned), he’s admitting to doing gay homosexual boning (or gay homosexual getting boned)"Except for real because a breeder would be fired for having a "partner" too.

Wow. First time I've ever seen 'soul-crushing sanctimony' as an actual physical description for someone's face.

Actually, it's even funnier, because in Italian 'fagioli' are beans.

Carlo Maria Viganò was shipped off to DC after screwing up in Rome. He's on greased rails out, hopefully to a nice cloistered monastery.

Charamsa's issue was showing off his significant other. There are lots of gay priests, both open and closeted. Until the RC Church decides to give up the celebacy thing, priests aren't supposed to have significant others whether male or female.
