Pope Francis is facing significant backlash after reports emerged that he used a homophobic slur during a closed-door meeting with Italian bishops. The controversy centers around the Pope's alleged use of the term 'frociaggine,' a derogatory Italian term, while discussing the admission of gay men into priesthood training. The incident was first reported by Italian website Dagospia and subsequently covered by major Italian newspapers and news agencies. This has sparked a wave of criticism and concern, considering the Pope's previously more inclusive stance towards the LGBTQ+ community. The Vatican has not yet responded to these allegations.
