Pope Francis Issues Apology For Using Slur For Gay Men

Pope Francis has apologized for using a derogatory term about gay men in a discussion with Italian bishops during which he reaffirmed the Catholic Church’s ban on gay priests, a policy that stands at odds with previous statements that there is room for everyone in the Catholic church. What do you think?

“Well, you have to expect some locker room talk when hanging out with bishops.”

“Even the Catholic Church can make the occasional LGBTQ misstep.”
