The Archbishop Emeritus of La Plata has said that some dioceses have a “high” proportion of gay clergy who constitute a “kind of lobby”.
Archbishop Héctor Aguer made the comment on the Channel 9 television programme Keys for a Better World. He was responding to Pope Francis’s remarks on homosexuality in the priesthood. The archbishop's comment was reported by ACI Prensa, an EWTN-owned Catholic news agency based in Lima.
He cited Pope Francis saying that homosexuality had become "fashionable" and that this mentality had also entered the Church.
