About this sermon
Pope Francis has apologized after he was quoted using a vulgar term about same sex attracted men when discussing Church teaching on seminarians and the priesthood. The Vatican says the Holy Father "never intended to offend anyone." Adding that there is room for everyone in the Church and he apologized to those who felt offended by the use of the term as reported by others. President of the Dominican House of Studies in Washington DC, Fr. Thomas Petri, joins to share his reaction to the story. Pope Francis was addressing the bishops of the Italian Episcopal Conference in a closed door meeting in the Vatican's synodal hall. He was asked about the topic of gay-identifying men entering Catholic seminaries. Fr. Thomas discusses what the Church's current position is on admissions and what Pope Francis had to say about it. Having been in Catholic education and formation for many years, Fr. Thomas explains what is important in forming seminarians properly for the priesthood. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
