Pope Francis shocks bishops by allegedly saying gay men should not be admitted to church seminaries because 'there's already too much f*****ry'
SUMMARY
Pope Francis reportedly shocked Italian bishops by using a slur during a closed-door meeting, stating that homosexual men should not be admitted to church seminaries due to existing gay sexual activity. Italian media, citing sources, reported that the Pope used the derogatory term "frociaggine" to describe the situation, which surprised many bishops. Some believe it was an unintentional linguistic error, as Italian is not his first language. Despite his generally liberal stance on LGBT rights, Francis has previously expressed similar views on gay seminarians. This incident occurred during a meeting at the Italian Bishops Conference on May 20.
