The Pope assures that gossip “is for women” and that the man is the one who wears “the pants”

New controversy from the Pope. After asking that homosexuals not be allowed into the seminaries because there are “too many queers,” Francisco assured that gossip “is a woman’s thing” and that it is men who must speak with transparency because “we wear pants.”

These words were spoken by the Pope this Thursday in a closed door meeting with a group of young priests from Rome in which he explained that in churches, parishes and religious congregations bad words should be avoided under the argument that “Gossip and gossip are for women.”

Francis also asked this group of priests to spread the word of God with transparency and truth because they, men, “we have the pants” and therefore, They are the ones who must “say things”just like Several Italian media and websites publish, such as Silere non possum and the diary The Republic.

“A lot of faggot” in seminars

These words from the Pope come the same week in which in another private meeting without media he asked the Italian bishops to prevent homosexuals from entering the seminaries because there is “too much of a fag atmosphere in certain seminaries.”

After the commotion generated, Francisco asked for forgiveness. “The Pope has never intended to offend or express himself homophobic terms and apologizes to those who have felt offended,” said this Tuesday the director of the Vatican Press Office, Matteo Bruni.

“In the Church there is a place for everyone, for everyone! Nobody is useless, nobody is superfluous, there is room for everyone. Just as we are, all of us,” the Pope continued in his apology.

The Pope’s controversial phrase, uttered on May 20, unleashed some “incredulous laughter” among those present, since according to Il Corriere della Sera echoing episcopal sources,“It was evident that he was not aware of how offensive what that word is in Italian”.

What the Pope wanted was to reiterate the position of the Catholic Church with an instruction from the Clergy Dicastery that in 2005, with Benedict XVI, and confirmed in 2016 by Francis who established that “the Church, deeply respecting the people in question, cannot admit into the seminary and Holy Orders those who practice homosexuality, have deeply rooted homosexual tendencies or support the so-called gay culture“.
