Freedom of Speech Clarification Just for clarity, I'm not trying to cancel anyone or take anyone's freedom of speech away. That's not the point of this critique. I've always been a strong proponent and defender of freedom of speech. And have been very vocal about it. I'm in fact using my own freedom of speech to express my opinions on this matter. I don't think any man no matter who they are, is above criticism nor any action or word spoken by any man is above public discourse. A recent news coming from Italy, it seems like the pope has used a specific Italian slur in one of his meetings with 250 bishops while discussing the topic of homosexuality within the priesthood. I'd like to offer not only my expertise as a native Italian speaker to see how bad of a word he used, but also to share my thoughts on this topic as a Christian man myself. From the article by NICOLE WINFIELD Updated 1:24 PM CDT, May 28, 2024 VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis apologized Tuesday after he was quoted using a vulgar and derogatory term about gay men to reaffirm the Catholic Church’s ban on gay priests. The ruckus that ensued underscored how the church’s official teaching about homosexuality often bumps up against the unacknowledged reality that there are plenty of gay men in the priesthood, and plenty of LGBTQ+ Catholics who want to be fully part of the life and sacraments of the church. Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni issued a statement acknowledging the media storm that erupted about Francis’ comments, which were delivered behind closed doors to Italian bishops on May 20. Italian media on Monday had quoted unnamed Italian bishops in reporting that Francis jokingly used the term “fa**otness” while speaking in Italian during the encounter. He had used the term in reaffirming the Vatican’s ban on allowing gay men to enter seminaries and be ordained priests. What do you think of this extract from this article?
