Pope Francis has again been accused of using a highly offensive term to describe gay men in a closed-door meeting, two weeks after the Vatican apologized over his use of the same slur. The Italian news agency ANSA, citing unnamed sources, reported that Francis used the Italian word in a meeting on Tuesday afternoon in which he suggested gay men should be welcome in the Church but not in seminaries.
The Reuters news agency said the press office responded to it by referring to a statement it had issued regarding Tuesday’s meeting with priests, in which the pope reiterated the need to welcome gay people into the Church and the need for caution regarding them becoming seminarians. The Holy See's official news outlet, the Vatican News, reported on the meeting but did not mention the discussion of homosexuality nor the Pope's alleged use of the offensive term.
