Pope Francis Never Intended To Offend The Gay Community – Vatican

The Vatican has come out to apologize after the Pope used a highly offensive word about gay men.

Reports recently revealed that Pope Francis used the Italian term frociaggine, roughly translating as f****try, while describing gay men in a private meeting.

Reacting, Vatican revealed that the Pope has always said that there is room for everyone in the church, and no one is useless or superflouos, including gay people.

They added that the priest never intended to offend or express himself in homophobic terms.

It read, “Pope Francis is aware of the articles recently published about a conversation, behind closed doors, with the bishops of the CEI [the Italian Episcopal Conference of Catholic bishops].

As he stated on several occasions, ‘In the Church there is room for everyone, for everyone! Nobody is useless, nobody is superfluous, there is room for everyone. Just as we are, all of us.’

The Pope never intended to offend or express himself in homophobic terms, and he apologises to those who felt offended by the use of a term reported by others.”

WOW.
