Pope Francis has been told by a Filipino Catholic university student to “stop using offensive language” against LGBTQ people.
Slurs cause “immense pain”, Jack Lorenz Acebedo Rivero said during an online video panel with other Catholic university students and the pope.
His comments come after reports that the Pope used extremely offensive language against gay men during a closed-door meeting last month with bishops.
He later apologised to those who were “hurt” and the Vatican said he did not mean to offend anyone.
The Pope reportedly said gay men should not be allowed to train for the priesthood, adding there was already an air of frociaggine, which translates as a highly offensive slur.
That’s like the tiniest tip of the tiniest iceberg when it comes to the things the pope should stop doing. He should stop doing it anyway, but that’s one of the least harmful and yet still horrible things he’s attached his name to.
We should make a deal with the pope: reverse the centuries of cis heteronormative church doctrine, and in exchange you get to say frociaggine all you want. I think this is a fair trade.
It was the bundle of sticks word, but in Italian. In case anyone else was curious.

I think an italian bundle of sticks has a different, but still bad, connotation
Such a cool symbol, both from a visual and symbolic point of view. Extremists ruin everything.
What’s funny is that this word in French is not a slur at all, it just means a bundle of wood
Credit to this student.
Remember when people were pretending this pope is so progressive. Ha! He’s a bigot just like all of them.
Nah he’s just old as fuck.
Catholic priests are supposed to be celibates. It seems they’re celibate in body but not in mind? It reminds me of following the letter of the law but not the spirit.
😂
Human says something
Or stop asking a cult leader of a religion that rather have LGBTQ stone to death to talk nicely.
You can’t reason with fascists.
Don’t tell the pope to go against his religion. Bless you pope Francis.
