QuoteFrance is sending a gay ambassador to Vatican City

The Holy See is to receive its first ever openly gay ambassador in the form of France's Laurent Stefanini and not everybody's sure they're too thrilled about that

The smallest country in Europe and its only remaining absolute monarchy is about to get its first ever openly gay ambassador from another country.

Vatican City, home of the Holy See and headquarters of the global Catholic Church, is only 44 hectares (110 acres), and with a population of 842 is the smallest internationally recognized independent state in the world by both area and population.

Many countries which have large numbers of Catholics have diplomatic relations with it and to facilitate that they send ambassadors to the Vatican City State like they would any other country and France needs to fill a vacancy at it's Villa Bonaparte embassy in the Vatican.

France's Council of Ministers approved openly gay Laurent Stefanini to take over the role on 5 January but the position has been vacant since the departure of his predecessor Bruno Jouvert on 1 March leading many to wonder whether the hold up might be disapproval of Stefanini's appointment from the Vatican itself.

The Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal André Vingt-Trois and the former president of the Bishops' Conference of France have sent a letter to Pope Francis to support the French Government's choice of ambassador.

However according to a report by Swiss based BlastingNews.com, some members of the Roman Curia believe Stefanini's appointment is a provocation by the French Government and the president of French anti-gay marriage group Manif Por Tous, Ludovine LaRochere, has contacted the Apostolic Nuncio in Paris to object to his appointment.

A gay man in Vatican? Unthinkable!

Yes, but he is not confirmed as ambassador, despite being #2 there for a few years:

I do wonder how it is being a practicing catholic and gay.  Having sex with another man is a sin, so he either refrains from sex or he seeks confession on a regulard basis.  Or he is untrue to his Faith.

I suppose it is like being one of the other 99% of catholics that violate all sorts of rules on a regular basis, and then skip confession.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Not unlike a straight practicing catholic in France.

Grouping gays, Catholics, and the French in with the Singularity is really going to piss Siege off, you know. :ph34r:

Yep. I mean this country was using birth control long before it was cool.

Well then I don't see why the Vatican is complaining then.

I'm used to Quebec were most people don't practice their religion.  I guess it's different elsewhere.

Well I knew Siege was not Catholic or French. Didn't know he was gay. Learn something new everyday.
