Pope Francis lamented that a "gay lobby" was at work at the Vatican in private remarks to the leadership of a key Latin American church group _ a stunning acknowledgment that appears to confirm earlier reports about corruption and dysfunction in the Holy See.

 The Latin American and Caribbean Confederation of Religious _ the regional organization for priests and nuns of religious orders _ confirmed Tuesday that its leaders had written a synthesis of Francis' remarks after their June 6 audience. The group, known by its Spanish acronym CLAR, said it was greatly distressed that the document had been published and apologized to the pope. 
  
 In the document, Francis is quoted as saying that while there were many holy people in the Vatican, there was also corruption: "The 'gay lobby' is mentioned, and it is true, it is there ... We need to see what we can do ..." the synthesis reads. 
  
 The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said Tuesday the audience was private and that as a result he had nothing to say. 
  
 In the days leading up to Pope Benedict XVI's Feb. 28 resignation, Italian media were rife with reports of a "gay lobby" influencing papal decision-making and Vatican policy through blackmail, and suggestions that the scandal had led in part to Benedict's decision to resign. 
  
 The unsourced reports, in the Rome daily La Repubblica and the news magazine Panorama, said details of the scandal were laid out in the secret dossier prepared for Benedict by three trusted cardinals who investigated the leaks of papal documents last year. Benedict left the dossier for Francis. 
  
 At the time, the Vatican denounced the reporting as defamatory, "unverified, unverifiable or completely false." 
  
 Francis' remarks on the matter, as reported by the CLAR leadership, were published Tuesday in Spanish on the progressive Chilean-based website "Reflection and Liberation" and picked up and translated by the blog Rorate Caeli, which is read in Vatican circles. 
  
 In the synthesis, Francis was quoted as being remarkably forthcoming about his administrative shortcomings, saying he was relying on the group of eight cardinals he appointed to lead a reform of the Vatican bureaucracy. 
  
 The document quoted him as saying: "I am very disorganized, I have never been good at this. But the cardinals of the commission will move it forward." 
  
 In its statement, CLAR said no recording had been made of Francis' remarks but that the members of its leadership team _ a half-dozen men and women _ together wrote a synthesis of the points he had made for their own personal use. 
  
 "It's clear that based on this one cannot attribute with certainty to the Holy Father singular expressions in the text, but just the general sense," the statement said.

 Pope Francis is reported to have acknowledged the existence of a "gay lobby" inside the Vatican. 
  
 He also said there was a "stream of corruption", according to reports in Catholic media. 
  
 He is said to have made the remarks during a private meeting with a group of Latin American Catholic clerics. 
  
 The clerics wrote up a report of the conversation that then appeared on the Chilean website Reflection and Liberation. 
  
 Previous rumours 
  
 According to the report, the Pope was extremely open as he discussed problems at the Vatican. 
  
 He is said to have told the Latin American delegation that there were good, holy men in the administration, but that there was also corruption. 
  
 The Vatican would have to "see what we can do" about the "gay lobby" operating in the bureaucracy, he said. "It is true, it is there," the report quotes him as saying. 
  
 In the days leading up to Pope Benedict XVI's resignation in February, the Italian media carried many un-sourced reports that gay Vatican clergymen had been working together to advance their personal interests, leaving the Holy See vulnerable to blackmail. 
  
 There were even suggestions that the situation had influenced Benedict's decision to resign. 
  
 At the time, the Vatican vigorously denied all the rumours. 
  
 It has so far declined to make any comment regarding the Pope's reported remarks, other than that the audience with the Latin American clerics was private. 
  
 An organisation representing the clerics, known by its Spanish acronym CLAR, has said it has apologised to the Pope for the publication of the report. 
  
 CLAR said in a statement that it "deeply regretted the publication of a text which refers to the conversation with the Holy Father". |||||
A:
Pope Francis has stunned Vatican-watchers by acknowledging that a "gay lobby" exists high up in the church hierarchy. "It is true, it is there ... We need to see what we can do," the pontiff told a key Latin American church group on June 6, according to a synthesis of his remarks prepared by its leaders after a meeting, the AP reports. Further, the BBC notes that Francis alluded to a "stream of corruption" within the Vatican, and told the group he was relying on eight cardinals he appointed to lead reform. "I am very disorganized, I have never been good at this," he said. "But the cardinals of the commission will move it forward." Francis' comments hearken back to Benedict XVI's resignation, when Italian media reports claimed his decision was sparked by a "Vatileaks" dossier that revealed a network of gay cardinals and priests who were being blackmailed. The Latin American church group has apologized to the pope, saying it was greatly distressed that the document had been published; the audience was a private and unrecorded one, but the group's leadership team together wrote a synthesis of the points he had made for their own personal use. Reads the statement: "One cannot attribute with certainty to the Holy Father singular expressions in the text, but just the general sense."
