Vatican Upset About Gay-Sex Scene
The Vatican has been accused of rejecting Bulgaria’s new choice of ambassador to the Holy See because he wrote a novel containing a gay sex scene. Makes you wonder: have those clerics ever read the Bible, which contains a wee amount of sex and violence? Kiril Maritchkov (pictured), a 39-year-old lawyer who speaks five languages including Italian, and is married to an Italian woman, would appear to be an ideal choice for Sofia’s representative at the Vatican. However, Bulgarian newspapers and the Italian press are reporting that an explicit encounter between a young Eastern European male prostitute and a Roman in Mr Maritchkov’s popular novel, ‘Clandestination’, has upset officials at the Holy See, despite the Catholic church’s less-than-spotless record on sexual transgression.
