So, OffHisMeds read in the paper today: "Pope quoted as acknowledging a ‘gay lobby’" (Thursday World Pg. A14), I believe Pope Francis is misquoted as confirming that a gay lobby "was operating inside the Vatican". This is not to say that there is not an influential group of gay priests in the Vatican.
In fact, the gay lobby was spread throughout the worldwide priesthood, and was known within the Catholic Church as "the Pink Mafia", a term of common parlance amongst Catholics going back to at least the 60's.
It is to say that endemic homosexuality in the priesthood has been an open secret amongst the Catholic laity - and its clergy - for a long, long time.
