It comes after reports that the Pope used extremely offensive language against gay men in a meeting.

Pope Francis has been told by a Filipino Catholic university student to “stop using offensive language” against LGBTQ people.

Slurs cause “immense pain”, Jack Lorenz Acebedo Rivero said during an online video panel with other Catholic university students and the pope.

His comments come after reports that the Pope used extremely offensive language against gay men during a closed-door meeting last month with bishops.

He later apologised to those who were “hurt” and the Vatican said he did not mean to offend anyone.

The Pope reportedly said gay men should not be allowed to train for the priesthood, adding there was already an air of frociaggine, which translates as a highly offensive slur.

      The main thing is they literally see it as murder no matter what, so they apply the biblically relevant murder rules to it. No ambiguity. And they see everyone else as literal murderers when they have had to go through with it. It certainly doesn’t help that they also see women as lesser and as needing to be controlled by men, but equating it to murder is still the main driver against it for them.
