VATICAN CITY, Holy See — Pope Francis again used a vulgar term for gay men in a recent meeting with priests in Rome, one that prompted an extraordinary apology from the Catholic Church leader two weeks ago, Italian media reports said Wednesday.
Visiting the Salesian Pontifical University on Tuesday, Pope Francis used the term “frociaggine“, a word that translates as “faggotry” in the Roman dialect of Italian.
“At the Vatican, there is an ambiance of ‘frociaggine’,” Francis said during the private meeting with around 200 priests at the school, according to the ANSA press agency.
“Gays are good boys… they are searching for the Lord. But it would be better to guide them towards a good spiritual father, towards a psychologist” instead of accepting them in seminaries, added the Corriere della Sera newspaper.
The Vatican did not immediately respond when asked by AFP on the reported remarks.
