The Pope has again used a homophobic term after apologising last month for saying gay men should not be admitted to church seminaries because ‘there’s already too much f*****ry’ in closed-door meeting. He used of the word ‘frociaggine’, a vulgar Italian term roughly translating as ‘f*****ness’, on May 20 during a closed-door meeting with Italian bishops. According to Italian news agency ANSA, Pope Francis, 87, repeated the term on Tuesday as he met Roman priests, saying ‘there is an air of f*****ness in the Vatican’. He added that it was better that young men with a homosexual tendency not be allowed to enter the seminary – a college that trains students to become priests. Asked about the latest report, the Vatican’s press office made reference to a statement it had issued regarding Tuesday’s meeting with the priests, in which the pope reiterated the need to welcome gay people into the Church and the need for caution regarding them becoming seminarians.
