According to local reports, the Argentine pope said “there is already enough faggotry” in Catholic seminaries, in his speech to prelates May 20. The pope used the Italian term “frociaggine,” a rarely used slur to describe flamboyant gay attitudes. Francis allegedly also used other disparaging words to describe gays.
“The pope never meant to offend or express himself with homophobic terms, and he issues his most sincere apologies to all those who felt offended by the use of a term reported by others,” read a statement Tuesday by Vatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni.
