Pope Francis apologized after reports surfaced that he used highly derogatory language towards gay men. During a private Italian Bishops’ Conference, he reportedly stated that gay men should not be allowed to train for the priesthood, using the offensive term “frociaggine.”
The Vatican’s statement clarified that the Pope did not intend to offend and apologized to those hurt by his words.
The comments, first reported by the Italian tabloid Dagospia and later confirmed by other Italian news agencies, have sparked widespread shock, especially given Pope Francis’ public stance on respecting gay people.
Matteo Bruni, the Holy See’s director, emphasized that the Pope believes the Church has room for everyone and never meant to use homophobic language.
Pope Francis’ apology is seen in the context of his previous inclusive remarks, such as “Who am I to judge?” regarding gay individuals and his controversial stance that priests could bless same-sex couples under certain circumstances.
Supporters argue that while substantial changes in gay rights within Catholicism are lacking, the Pope has shifted the Church’s tone. Critics, including Marianne Duddy-Burke from DignityUSA, found his reported comments “shocking and hurtful,” reflecting deep-seated anti-gay bias within the Church.
