This stance was highlighted a few \u200bweeks after similar comments were made in a\u2062 closed\u200c meeting. At 87, Pope Francis used the phrase &#8220;there\u200d is an air of frociaggine in the Vatican,&#8221; referring to a\u2062 derogatory term for \u200cgayness in Roman Italian dialect. His comments occurred during a gathering of around 200 priests at Rome\u2019s Salesian Pontifical University. Despite \u200dadvocating for the Church\u2063 to \u2064welcome and \u200bsupport gay individuals, he emphasized \u2063that they should not be \u2064permitted to join the priesthood.
