Irl the Vatican has an extensive network of high end escorts that get passed around between the top church brass. Ever age, gender that they want. They also have brothels that are just for clergy.

The sources are not quite saying what you say. They say that some/a lot of priests engage in sex and prostitution, but they don't nearly say what you claimed.

Your first sources said that there was a property owned by the church where's a brothel and priests have been seen, not that it's a brothel for priests.

The second is about the scandal of people working for the Vatican enganging in a trafficing ring, but this ring itself doesn't seem for the top brass of the clergy.

And last one is about the various sex scandals in Italy.

None of them go nearly as far as you claimed. The catholic church has a problem with corruption and sex scandals, especially pedophilia, which they try to cover up. My point was that you made a lot of far reaching claims without providing enough evidence, which is sadly too common on the internet.

What an amazing concrete trustworthy source (probably).
