His apology is a model for all Catholic leaders who continue to use language and ideas that offend LGBTQ+ people, even unknowingly," said DeBernardo. The Vatican's apology was interpreted by New Ways as an acknowledgment that the use of the slur was inadvertent.Ahh, the poor little dears were offended, so Bergoglio has promptly apologized and here we are again with:
'There is room for everyone in the Church, for everyone! No one is useless; no one is superfluous; there is room for everyone. Just as we are, everyone.'
Room for everyone except for traditional Catholics.

Didn’t he work as a bouncer as a young man? He probably knows a lot of salty lingo.

There's absolutely *nothing* wrong with any Christian clergyman to make it clear that homosexual acts are *always* sinful.”Slurs” might not be good however.
To: Gman
The proper Italian term is Fag-o-lino I think the scientific term is "homo erectus". LOL

I prefer slurs, like “serpents”, “devils”, “sodomites”, etc. to compliments like “gay”, or “funny boy”.
The former are mentioned in the Bible; the latter are not.

I can’t believe Bergoglio called them Buttigiegers.

IIRC the sternest words that Jesus had for the prostitute was “go and sin no more”.

It’s okay for black people to use the n-word. I imagine this word is okay if used by Italian gays. Does this hint at something about Francis?
To: ebb tide
According to Duddy-Burke, Almighty God has anti-gay bias and discrimination. if you read His book

The first time I agree with Franky, and the limp wristed fagulas cry until the Dope apologizes.

I can’t help thinking this was all Bergoglio’s coordinated plan. Let this “get out” and then apologize.

How can it be a “slur” if it accurately describes the activity?
Slang, maybe - but not a “slur”.
