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.
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.
I wouldn’t expect an extremely old person to be aware of all the nuances of modern language. Least of all the pope, who, I’d assume, has effectively zero contact with anyone even remotely close to being a rainbow activist. External culture and langue has moved a lot in the last 15-20 years. While I am far from that old, it’s not unreasonable to expect that calling someone that was relatively normal during the popes childhood, certainly in a religious environment.
their point was that the pope being a homophobe is like common knowledge and homophobes using slurs is not really news
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
