He Pope Francisco has asked the Italian bishops to do not admit homosexual people in your seminars. According to the Italian media ‘La Repubblica’, the Pope launched this message during a private meeting that he held on May 20 with the Italian bishops.

In this meeting, Pope Francis asks priests not to ordain homosexual people because, from his experience, They lead a double life which makes them and those around them suffer. The answer comes to the question of a bishop who asked for advice on how to act in the event that a homosexual person asks to be ordained as a priest.

Until now, the rule of the church was that you had to be cautious with people with homosexual tendencies settled, a norm that is still in force according to the pope, who believes that this serves to prevent them from the suffering of leading a double life and the fact of hiding their sexual orientation.

During this meeting, Pope Francis used the term ‘frociaggine‘, a very offensive term for homosexuals, saying that there is “too much faggot” in some seminars. The Vatican justifies this comment by ensuring that the pope did not speak Italian in his family, but rather Piedmontese, so he did not know that this term is offensive.

In turn, the pope has asked these bishops to “accompany” the rejected candidates with “respect and delicacy”, insisting that, “from experience”, it is better that they do not enter the seminary.

These statements by Pope Francis are surprising when, recently, He called “hypocrites” those who “are scandalized” by blessing homosexual couples and not to exploitative businessmen. He also denied that being homosexual is “a crime”, although he did say that it is “a sin.” What’s more, in that interview he asked the bishops to go through a “conversion process” to welcome LGTBIQ people into the church, saying: “Tenderness, please, tenderness, like God has with each of us.”
