Senior Catholic Priest Reveals He Is Gay

A senior priest at the Vatican has revealed he is gay, on the eve of a major meeting that will define the Catholic Church's teaching on family.
Poland-born Krysztof Charamsa, 43, said he wanted to challenge the Church's "backwards" attitude to homosexuality.

Msgr Charamsa said he was in a relationship and was "happy and proud" of his identity.

The Vatican called his actions "very serious and irresponsible" and stripped him of doctrinal responsibilities.

Msgr Charamsa's statement came as bishops arrived in Rome for a synod that will discuss homosexuality, among other issues.
