Pope Francis reportedly used the term “faggotry” (“frociaggine”) again during a meeting with 160 priests where the Pontiff also discussed the issue of homosexual men entering seminaries.
According to major Italian news outlets, Francis told the priests present during the closed-door meeting at Salesian Pontifical University on Tuesday that “there is an air of faggotry in the Vatican.”

I think he means it as a term of endearment. Kind of like the “N”-word.
oyyyyy...never thought of that...
In all seriousness, is this a translation problem? I don’t know if there’s an equivalent to “faggotry” in Papa Frank’s globalist language.
Pope Franky sends mixed signals. Is he for or against ‘fagotty’ agendas?
A broken clock is correct twice a day.
You're part of it, Jorge ...
That’s fine. There shouldn’t be any fags anyways
Indeed.
I’ve known two people who dropped out of seminary because the homosexuality was out of control.
The two cases were separate by thirty years, so apparently this has been a long standing problem.
I had no reason to not believe them.
“Slur?” YES!
The truth is that faggotry deserves to be in the “slur,” category.
Also fitting in the abomination list.
A few possibilities here...
(1) He’s so insulated that he doesn’t even know that his lackeys apologized once for him using this language.
(2) He’s slipping into dementia and already forgot that he took heat for this like a week ago.
(3) He knows exactly what he’s doing and has willfully adopted an “eff it, I’ll say whatever the hell I want whenver the hell I want” attitude.
He is only now noticing this?
He’s like Inspector Clouseau, bumbling across something already obvious, to all.
I think he is seeing Judgment Day looming, and, just maybe, thinks some things need to be in better order.
According to a YouTuber I watch, Metatron, the word used is extremely vulgar. The YTer is a native Italian/Sicilian who has degrees in linguistics and history.
Link to the video from 3 days ago where he talks about the papal comments:

Finally said something I can agree with.
My cousin left a Church of God seminary in 1971 for similar reasons.
Another possibility is that he is speaking out of both sides of his mouth so he can take either side of the issue in the future whichever is most convenient at the time. This is his history.
