Italian media had reported on Monday that Francis used the Italian term"frociaggine", roughly translating as"faggotness" or"faggotry", as he told Italian bishops he remained opposed to admitting gay people into the priesthood. One daily, Corriere della Sera, quoted unnamed bishops who were in the room as suggesting that the pope, as an Argentine, might have not realised that the Italian term he used was offensive.The Vatican spokesman reiterated that the pope remained committed to a welcoming Church for all, where"nobody is useless, nobody is superfluous, there is room for everyone".
In 2013, at the start of his papacy, he famously said:"If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?" Last year he allowed priests to bless members of same-sex couples, triggering a substantial conservative backlash.
