Pope Francis dropped an F-bomb during his Sunday prayer at St. Peter's Square

“If each one of us does not amass riches only for oneself, but half for the service of others, in this f–k [pause], in this case the providence of God will become visible through this gesture of solidarity,” Francis said to the faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square, Italian media reported.

Look at the context of his words - God stopped him from pushing a 50% income tax.

Perhaps the Pope just had some really, really good non-fat yogurt.

The ‘main’ question is

Did he donate to the CUSS JAR?

(I wouldn’t expect someone to backhand him or threaten to wash his mouth out with soap) <: <:

Please! The scary headlines and even some of the leads make it sound like he swore in an unguarded moment of irritation over some mishap. It was an innocent and thoroughly unintentional slip of the tongue.

If it was Obama, he would just blame it on TOTUS (teleprompter in chief). I am sure Francis was using prepared remarks and that Vatican interpreter once again strikes! His interpreter should be investigated to see if he/she has a secret SSPX background. Now there is a conspiracy theory to believe:)

Wonder how it sounds like in Italian...

Just the same but accompanied by a hand gesture.

First off Catholics follow every word His Holiness says as if it were from God Himself. As if he were the Vicar of Christ. As if some magic link that goes all the way back to Peter was in play (despite lack of scriptural or natural evidence their is a line of succession of some "magic" powers held in such office). But if he were to make some gaffe or verbal misstep THEN it's "He wasn't speaking ex-cathedra" time. They have a cover for everything. IF he were part of some succession of office he would be healing the sick and wandering the globe in poverty without Papal glory and accouterments.

Complete fabrication.

Isn’t his first language Spanish? So he mispronounces Italian from time to time. Cut him some slack.

And it wasn’t the “f bomb.”

And confession is not what you do after an “inadvertent” slip up.

I’m sure the left and other idiots will have fun with this.

Strange you thought this was Breaking News.

It was in “Italian” not English.

His Holiness meant to use the Italian word for “example,” which is “caso.”
Instead, he used the word “cazzo,” which Italians use as a synonym for the four-letter obscenity.

He didn't curse, he had a true slip of the tongue. Like when some news reporter said "iniggural" instead of "inaugural" during the Clown's dog and pony show in January of 2013. That person didn't use the "N" word, they slipped in their pronunciation.

I correct myself. It was an Italian F-bomb.

A Ferarri?


An electric Ferarri?
