Italian media has said that the pope used a highly derogatory slur against LGBTQ+ people at a bishops conference. The remark may sour attempts by the pope to make the church more welcoming.
Pope Francis allegedly used a highly offensive term to refer to LGBTQ+ people during a closed-door meeting with Italian bishops, Italian media reported on Tuesday.
The major Italian daily newspapers La Repubblica and Corriere della Sera both cited anonymous sources as saying that the pope had made the remark while reiterating his position against gay people becoming priests.
The 87-year-old pontiff was reported as saying that the Catholic seminaries were already too full of "frociaggine" — a highly derogatory term in Italian.

But I guarantee people will still call him "Cool Pope."
It's all been an act.
He is the "cool pope"... when compared the literal Nazi one before him or the sexual predator protecting one before that. They are all horrible, this one happens to be the least horrible in a long time...possibly ever. Less horrible is still horrible.
That's like saying Kim Jong-Un is the "Cool North Korean Dictator." It really doesn't mean much.
Exactly.
“The one who protected sexual predators” really doesn’t narrow it down 🙃
It really does. John Paul II and predecessors were the one who did most of the covering up of sexual misbehaviour, the theft of Irish children, etc, the Nazi inherited the mess, didn't know what to do with it and rage quit. The latest guy came in well after the shit had hit the fan.
