The history behind the slur is quite surprising
Obviously it’s not ideal, especially when you consider the word’s context. Both times, the Pope seemed to be referring to the fact that the Vatican is overrun with gayness.

After all, the Pope’s personal dresser, Fillipo Sorcinelli, is himself quite the snacc.

Now I know what you’re thinking. Is he…you know…a talented designer and fragrance artist? The answer is yes.
Would we love to see some queer fanfic about this man’s Pontifical exploits? Duh.
Ideally this man would use his power for good, but we’re not holding our breath.
In any case, it’s a stunning feat of hypocrisy to go around using anti-gay language when you owe your entire wardrobe to a man this zaddylicious. Get it together, Francis!
