Pope Francis allegedly used a homophobic slur during a meeting with Italian bishops in May. According to reports, he referred to gay men as "frociaggine," which translates to "faggotry" or "faggotness." The Pope also reiterated his stance that gay people should not be allowed to become priests. The audience reportedly reacted with incredulity, claiming the Pope was unaware of the offensive nature of the term in Italian.
