The Pope reportedly used a derogatory term about gay men again in a private meeting, where he is said to have reiterated a need for caution regarding them becoming priests.
Weeks after apologising for using a highly offensive word about gay men - the Pope has reportedly used the same term again.
Pope Francis initially made the remark in a closed-door meeting with bishops last month, when describing priesthood colleges as already too full of “frociaggine” - a highly offensive Italian slur.
According to ANSA news agency, the Pope repeated the term on Tuesday while meeting Roman priests, saying there is an air of “frociaggine” in the Vatican and it was better that young men with a homosexual tendency not be allowed to enter the seminary.
Turns out the most progressive Pope ever is still fucking awful. Like, better than previously but still pretty fucking bad!
He’s not especially more progressive than the rest. It’s all been PR.
Benedict and Francis are allies in the church, of course they are both awful in private. It’s weird that people think they are different.
“The most progressive <T> ever” has been bullshit in each recent case. Because it’s a safe PR image and those who can maintain it are those who have the power, and thus are not very good people.
Popes obviously have the progressivness scale shifted compared to other people.
Not progressive but spineless. Like every religion when it loses relevance.
