Imagine giving a shit about any of this

STOP APOLOGIZING FOR NOT SUPPORTING THEIR CULT

[puccan]

How are you supposed to report news if you can’t even tell us the word he used?

[lasantisima]

This corporation doesn't care about people, it's all about money.

[TimE-zz]

I'm not a catholic but it was supposed to be a closed door meeting. Who was the **%# that told on him?

[oneperson]

But will he apologize to conservative Catholics?

[Fatenarr]

The Bible says it’s not ok. Do not apologize

[theprimeministerthatstolef]

How many homosexuals have used slurs against the Pope? Just an observation

[CalvinWatkins]

Pope shouldn't have to apologize for nothing.

[honkeykong]

"I apologize for calling those tail gunners a word that rhymes with maggots"

[andrewangelopacheco]

Its about time the voice of Christ's Church has spoken the Truth again!

[zacharywho]

Make no mistake, the man did not apologize because he was sorry. He apologized because he will get backlash and they are an entity that lives within our world too. So they need to keep backers and "Congregations" happy.

[Valerius]

Don't scroll down. Nothing but painful ignorance and you'll lose any faith in humanity if you are lucky to have any left.

[michaelknapp]

This is why I'm not Catholic among many other reasons.

The Bible calls it an abomination. Yet the pope wants to get his numbers up. There's no point in giving somebody a bunch of Hope when it's all lies and when they die they'll find that out.

Jesus forgives all sin, But he never says any of it is ok.

[marybethborman]

God is the Same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

[richardlahan]

I guess he's human just like the rest of us.

[AlishaSullivan-vb]

Pope said the truth . He didn’t have to apologize

[michaelmappin]

Christianity and the papacy have nothing in common.

[The_Pope_real]

I'll say it once, and i'll say it again: This man is NOT catholic and faked his way in.

[krichard_]

Why is he apologizing? The Vatican teaches that the pope is infallible
