It appears that no action will be taken by the Vatican with regards to Cardinal Keith O'Brien's sexual misconduct with four priests (those are just the ones that we know of). 

Now that O'Brien's admitted to "unbecoming" sexual conduct, the Vatican sees no point in pursuing an investigation--or at the very least punishing him for his blatant hypocrisy as he vocally advocated against the rights of homosexuals while getting his rocks off with men in the rectory.

Shocking. (Not shocking.)

Monsignor Kevin Wallin, the cross-dressing crystal meth dealing priest that was arrested back in January, has pled guilty to making more than $300,000 in methamphetamine sales out of his Connecticut apartment.

And the confessions don't stop there.

And they all come tumbling down.

Roman Catholic Cardinal Keith O’Brien, the head of the Catholic Church in Scotland and one of the most vocally homophobic opponents of marriage equality in the U.K. released a statement today admitting to sexual conduct unbecoming of a man of the cloth.

O'Brien had been accused of participating in "inappropriate acts" with five different priests. He initially denied the allegations, though he agreed to resign from his post.

Following the widespread coverage of reports alleging that Pope Benedict's resignation is due in part to a gay sex scandal within the Vatican, the Vatican has finally released an official statement.

They're less than pleased.

More than 1,000 drama queens in chiffon robes have engaged in naughty group action to point jewel-encrusted fingers at modern civil rights. In one of the largest letters of its kind, 1,054 British priests as well as 13 bishops and abbots claim they will lose their right to practice religion if gays and lesbians are allowed to marry the human they love. 

If you just looked out the window to see if pigs are soaring across the clouds, you're not alone. The North American Old Catholic Church, a congregation that combines Catholic teachings with progressive values, is set to ordain a transgender priest in Minnesota. 

The Orthodox Calendar, a gay favorite that tackles sexuality in the Orthodox church with male models dressed as priests, says that YouTube has banned its account. Details follow. 

Safe words are underrated these days. Isn't there a passage or two in Corinthians about the merits of safe S & M? Whatever the case, an Illinois priest has been granted a leave of absence after having to call 911 for help in being taken out of a personal set of handcuffs and a gag.

We're right up there in the North Pole alongside Santa Claus, as far as Paul Scalia, son of vehement homophobe Justice Antonin Scalia, is concerned. Looks like the rotten apple doesn't fall far from the tree. 

They probably provide highbrow commentary on the intersection of religion and culture and politics or whatnot, but the preview art from the 2013 Orthodox Calendar leave us too distracted to complete a thorough dissertation.

Check out more images from the calendar that'll secretly hang in Pope Benedict's dungeoun beneath the Vatican after the jump!

A group of former Catholic priests are throwing down against Catholic bishops that have been heavily lobbying to overturn same-sex marriage in Washington state. 

We assume (HOPE!) bitch-slapping via rosary will ensue.

It's been a big day for the Episcopal Church!

The Church held two very important votes at the Episcopal General Convention today and both votes are very LGBT friendly.

The Episcopal Church has approved both the ordination of transgender individuals as priests and an official liturgy that blesses same-sex unions.
