Pope Francis allegedly uses extremely derogatory language in an incident that could have a profound impact on the way his attitude towards gay people is perceived.

Francis said gay men should not be allowed to train for the priesthood even when they remained celibate.

Pope said during the Italian Bishop’s Conference.

He continued saying that in Italian that there was, in the Church, already too much of an air of frociaggine , which translate as s highly offensive slur.

Although it was a meeting that happened behind closed doors, the Pope’s reported comments were first conveyed to the Italian tabloid website, Dagospia.

Other Italian news agencies have since confirmed the Pope’s words citing numerous sources.
