Pope apologizes for using slur while discussing gay clergy

Season 2024 Episode 150

About the Episode

Pope Francis issued a rare apology after word broke that he used a derogatory Italian slur referring to gay men while reaffirming his position against their admission to seminaries and priesthood. The Pope made the remark in a closed-door meeting with bishops. Reactions are divided over whether the slur was intentional or a linguistic gaffe. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Marianne Duddy-Burke.
