Bbc gay bathhouse
Europa Multiclub boasts a Turkish bath, Finnish sauna, whirlpools and massages. A historic palazzo in Rome that houses a key Vatican department is also the home of a well-known gay sauna. The proximity to Europa Multiclub, billed as Italy's top gay sauna, has drawn comment due to the Vatican's strict stance on gay partnerships.

The facility boasts a Turkish bath, Finnish sauna, whirlpools and massages. Also on offer are "bear parties", which are advertised on its website with a video of a man stripping down before donning clerical attire. Bruno, "a hairy, overweight pastor of souls, is free to the bbc gay bathhouse of his clergyman, remaining in a thong, because he wants to expose body and soul", the website says.
The Vatican has declined to comment on the proximity of the sauna to the headquarters of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples - which is responsible for missionary activities - but Cardinal Dias has previously said that gays and lesbians can be cured of their "unnatural tendencies" through the "sacrament of penance".
The year-old cardinal, who is Indian and a former archbishop of Mumbai, will take part in the conclave to elect a successor to Pope Benedict XVI, which will begin later on Tuesday. Related internet links. Europa Multiclub. The Vatican.
