Gay Catholics and Zuma Painting

Do gay Catholics have a place in the Roman Catholic Church? And, why are some South Africans outraged over a satirical painting of President Jacob Zuma?

A senior Vatican priest, stripped of his post after admitting being in a gay relationship, has accused the Roman Catholic Church of making the lives of millions of gay Catholics "a hell".

South Africa President Jacob Zuma's son Edward has reacted angrily to a controversial painting depicting the president raping a woman. We speak to Ayanda Mabulu, the artist behind the controversial artwork.
