Pope Francis Under Fire for Repeating Gay Slur in Vatican Meeting on Tuesday
Jun 12, 2024, 12:20 AM
Pope Francis has come under fire for allegedly repeating a highly disparaging term for gay people during a closed-door meeting with priests in the Vatican on Tuesday, according to reports from the ANSA news agency. The Italian media attributed the use of the word 'frociaggine,' a vulgar Italian term roughly translating to 'faggotness,' to the Pope. This incident follows a previous apology from Pope Francis last month for using a similar slur. The Pope's comments have sparked controversy, particularly regarding his stance on gay men in the priesthood.
