In the Closet of the Vatican

In the Closet of the Vatican: Power, Homosexuality, Hypocrisy (French: Sodoma: Enquête au cœur du Vatican) is a book by Frédéric Martel,[1] which was published in French by Éditions Robert Laffont in February 2019[2] as well as being simultaneously released in eight languages.

The book is based upon testimonies from 41 cardinals, 52 bishops and 45 apostolic nuncios, some of whom are anonymous, as noted by the author.

[9] In a long piece for New York, Andrew Sullivan wrote that "The Corruption of the Vatican's Gay Elite Has Been Exposed".

[12][better source needed] In 2019, Steve Bannon announced his intention of producing a movie based upon the book.

This caused the resignation of Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke from the Dignitatis Humanae Institute, which is led by Bannon.
