The Vatican: Sorry Gays!
Manage episode 424264772 series 2855386
You know it's June when everything turns rainbow themed and the Pope suddenly takes an interest in the gays (or gay-money). The Pope used a slur behind closed doors when talking about gays in the church. The story appeared in the Italian press and a minute later the world was ablaze with opinions about why this Pope used "that word." Pope Francis has made great effort to introduce the word "inclusivity" to Catholic dogma, and he has received some pushback from others within the church. The gays and sane people everywhere were pleased to hear the Pope say that gays are humans and probably deserve some basic human rights. Then, alas, the use of a slur is leaked to the press and now the gays feel betrayed.
What did the Pope say, why did he say it, and what does it mean? We have all the answers (aka opinions) and the receipts (aka d*ck jokes) in this week's episode!
