Pope Francis allegedly used offensive slur during discussion about gay men
Bishops say pontiff made remark during closed-door debate over admitting homosexual men into seminaries
WHAT, A CHRISTIAN! HOMOPHOBIC! NEVER!
A 90 year old religious white man? Nooooooo
True, but as I understand it, this is sorta surprising because he has been more supportive of the LGBT community than his predecessors and subordinates
Anything short of "all people are humans and we pass no judgment on the infinite variety of human expression and behavior" is offensively out of sync with reality. Any amount of perpetuating papal bigotry is out of sync with the teachings of the holy guy he's supposed to be representing.
This is what you call "more supportive?"
If he grew up in the church, what's the chance he was abused by pedo priests and this is projection of his latent anger?
I did take his comment as such. It's weird that the Bishop of Rome would say a thing like this and it not be sort of true. Not in the slur way but the closeted way.
And, rolling it back to 2013.
And he's a filthy pedophile.
We don't know that Francis has personally abused children or has any desire to do so. Iirc, he has protected child molesters, but there's a difference.
Mistranslated
How would you translate it? Especially in the context of speaking about gay people being allowed in certain jobs while saying that it's almost impossible for boys with "that tendency" to not fall into temptation?
I checked Italian websites defending the Pope and their best defense is that the Pope, not being a native Italian speaker, doesn't understand how offensive the word is, but that still leaves the homophobic intention.
No, it's been translated correctly.
The Italian word is "frocio" and it means "faggot".
Well maybe he was speaking British Italian and he meant cigarette!
What he said may be translated as "there is too much 'removed-ism' around". It's very offensive.
What's everybody getting so perturbed about? Geez. Isn't this just like when an ethnic group uses an ethnic slur within their own circle? 🤣
admitting homosexual men into seminaries
Ooh, like that's never happened before in the entire history of the Holy See. 🙄
Stay sick, scratch glass, turn blue, climb walls…but don't get caught!
!detroit@midwest.social ☆ !michigan@midwest.social ☆ !music@midwest.socialDon’t you fucking dare cancel Pope Francis
He's the fucking Pope. A billion Catholics listen every time he makes an announcement. The Vatican has its own news service. The idea that you could "cancel" him is ludicrous.
But let's say we could... why not? He's a homophobic piece of shit that doesn't want pedophile priests reported to the police.
