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.

    Looking forward to the “he’s an old man, he doesn’t know any better, Italian isn’t his first language” people who defended him last time to come in and make a new excuse for why Christ’s Vicar of Earth used homophobic slurs.

      Thanks for saying what I would. When I commented on a post calling it out the fucking last time I got dog piled and downvoted. I’m a fucking queer guy, this shits hurtful and it’s fucking infuriating that it’s us that get shit when we’re the fucking ones being insulted.

        I’m not queer, just an ally. It was disgusting the first time he said it and it’s more disgusting this time that he said it after what happened the last time. He’s a bigot and is fine with it.
