POPE FRANCIS UNDER SCRUTINY AGAIN
The religious figure allegedly repeated a gay slur
POPE Francis has spoken in the past of the need for priests not to ramble on during sermons, but his own use of language is currently under the microscope.
The 87-year-old pontiff has again been accused of repeating a highly offensive homophobic slur just weeks after the Vatican apologised for his use of the word at a bishops’ conference on 20 May.
One of the topics discussed at the conference was whether to allow celibate gay men to undergo training for the priesthood”, a vulgar Italian term for homosexuality.
