VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis used a highly derogatory term towards the LGBT community as he reiterated in a closed-door meeting with Italian bishops that gay people should not be allowed to become priests, Italian media reported on Monday.

La Repubblica and Corriere della Sera, Italy's largest circulation dailies, both quoted the pope as saying seminaries, or priesthood colleges, are already too full of "frociaggine", a vulgar Italian term roughly translating as "faggottness".

The Vatican did not respond to a request for comment.

La Repubblica attributed its story to several unspecified sources, while Corriere said it was backed up by a few, unnamed bishops, who suggested the pope, as an Argentine, might have not realised that the Italian term he used was offensive.

Maybe faggotry is the correct translation.

I’m pretty sure that the Jesuit order invented buggery.... So Francis who is a Jesuit, is very familiar with it.

Maybe he meant it as a, er, compliment.

Maybe it’s a universal term, give or take a lot of extra vowels.

First, no women deacons or priests, then derogatory names for our precious LGBTQRSUVWXYZ brethren. Is this a head fake before the Synod overthrows the rest of Catholic doctrine?

A close look at the Frankster's inner circle of confidants and intimate companions, would reveal that they are extensively faggotatious too.

If it were true, but the odds of that are slim to none based upon the actions of the man.

Who knows what he actually says, the media is so full of bull$hit, there is no telling (but good if it’s true).
