Worse Than Germany: Portuguese Priests Involved in Homosex Parties
The gatherings were organized through a homosexual dating app, with locations and access codes later shared via WhatsApp.
The meetings took place in motels but also inside church-owned buildings and parish houses. Participants reportedly had the option of arriving masked or openly revealing their identities.
The whistleblower identified as “Joaquim”. He has attended several of the events and later filed a complaint with Portugal’s Judicial Police.
Joaquim described scenes of heavy sexual activity lasting until dawn: “Many priests come wearing masks, but during the night they take them off,” he told the newspaper.
"Can't Send Nudes Right Now. Have to Celebrate the Eucharist"
He also mentioned widespread alcohol and drug consumption, including marijuana and “poppers.”
While speaking with journalists, Joaquim messaged one of the allegedly involved priests asking for a nude photo. The priest immediately replied: “I can’t right now, I have to celebrate Mass.”
The report claims investigators have been given names, phone numbers, photos, and videos connected to the gatherings.
The accused priests denied participating in homosexual encounters.
The Diocese of Porto published a statement on May 8 claiming that it had previously received no complaints or warnings about such activities. The diocese added that it would cooperate fully to establish the truth, and would allegedly apply canon law if necessary.
