Remember when this would have been shocking?

The chief authority of the Catholic Church for anti-homosexual teachings, Monsignor Tony Anatrella, was sued on Oct. 30 in France by "a French ex-seminarian named Daniel Lamarca who said that, while being treated by Anatrella in 1987, he had sexual relations with the cleric, who Lamarca went to in the hope of 'curing' him of his homosexuality. The patient was 23 at the time and spoke of 'bodily work' therapy sessions with Anatrella that, according to the accuser, would progress into sex."
