I guess not, that sort of scandal, gay-fuelled orgies involving progressives in the Vatican is not something NCReporter dwells on. I don't know who owned the apartment except that it was in the Holy Office building.
The cardinal must have known his secretary was homosexual unless he was very naive which is unlikely. 
The Pope seems to be more intent on clearing out those who disagree with him than those in his employ who are dragging the Church through the gutter.
