Pope Francis used a vulgar Italian term towards the LGBT community in a closed-door meeting with Italian bishops, stating that gay people should not be allowed to become priests. Italian newspapers La Repubblica and Corriere della Sera reported that he referred to seminaries as being "too full of frociaggine," a term roughly translating as "faggottness." The Vatican did not respond to a request for comment.
