Pope's 'eyes and ears' in Vatican bank 'had string of homosexual affairs'

The Holy See was hit by a fresh scandal after it was claimed that a priest appointed to a key role in the Vatican bank had a string of homosexual affairs that forced his recall from an overseas posting.

Pope Francis recently appointed Msgr Battista Ricca as his "eyes and ears" within the bank after launching reforms aimed at cracking down on reported money laundering, tax evasion and other financial abuses.

However on Friday it was claimed that Msgr Ricca, 57, who had a 15-year career as a Vatican diplomat, allegedly shocked fellow priests and nuns at the Holy See's embassy in Montevideo, Uruguay, by having a homosexual affair with a captain in the Swiss army. The Vatican has denied the claims.

The monsignor allegedly met the officer during an earlier posting to Berne in Switzerland and took him with him when he was sent to Uruguay. Full story...
