Pope Francis is reported to have used extremely derogatory language in an incident that could have a profound impact on the way his attitude towards gay people is perceived.
When asked at the Italian Bishops’ Conference if gay men should now be allowed to train for the priesthood as long as they remained celibate, Pope Francis said they should not.
He is then believed to have continued by saying in Italian that there was, in the Church, already too much of an air of frociaggine, which translates as a highly offensive slur.
“frociaggine”, a vulgar Italian term roughly translating as “(bundle of sticks)ness”
How I sleep knowing the Pope is unhappy about the ‘air of frociaggine’ in the Church: 😊💤
Maybe he should open the windows in his bedroom more often.
Head of a theocratic microstate and an old establishment of reaction with history of covering up their crimes uses a slur? gasp How could this possibly happen?!

Goddamn, apparently I’m missing out on the good shit at church, wtf. They better be at pride this year. 🏳️🌈

No hate like Christian love, as they say.
Honest question: what do we expect the Pope to say? For all intents and purposes, he is the head of a very old and established ‘religion’. He wouldn’t be the pope if his views were contrary to the teachings of the church as it currently exists.
He didn’t have to use the Italian word for “removedness” if you find someone calling others a removed excusable then that says a lot about you.
The Pope said an air of fаggοtry. You don’t need to censor the word when this entire discussion is about it
Oh wow it removes it automatically
their point was that the pope being a homophobe is like common knowledge and homophobes using slurs is not really news
No one excused anything

It’s the Catholic Church. I think they can afford an Italian tutor or something for the Pope, my dude. Maybe the use of this word points to their stagnant (repugnant?) ideals that (apparently like the Pope’s grasp of…language?) haven’t evolved in the past 100 years.
Not the pedophile. I’m so disappointed
This dude is genuinely trying to piss off everyone and help nothing.
He probably smokes poles on the DL.
