an apology "to those who were offended.".
As he has had the opportunity to state
on several occasions, 'In the Church
there is room for everyone, for
everyone! No one is useless, no one
is superfluous, there is room for
everyone. Just as we are, everyone.', Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni, via statement.
The pope never intended to
offend or express himself in
homophobic terms, and he
extends his apologies to those
who were offended by the use
of a term, reported by others, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni, via statement.
According to Italian news agency ANSA,
the pope used the homophobic slur again in
another meeting with Roman priests on June 11. .
He allegedly used the word while suggesting that gay men should not be allowed in seminaries but should be welcome in the Catholic Church.
When asked to comment, the
Vatican referred to a previous statement
it made regarding the latest meeting.
The statement highlighted the pope's desire to welcome "people with homosexual tendencies,".
while exercising caution
"regarding their entry into the seminary.".
The Vatican did not issue another apology

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has denounced recent viral videos depicting US President Joe Biden as confused at public events, labelling them as “cheap fakes.” Her comments follow the spread of several clips on social media, which have ignited debates about the president's mental fitness. In one widely shared video, President Biden appears to struggle with sitting down during a D-Day memorial event in France. Commenters suggested he seemed “completely lost” or experiencing “some kind of episode.” Another clip from a G7 meeting in Italy shows Biden wandering away from the group during a skydiving demonstration, only to be guided back by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

In a recent statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected the peace terms proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, labeling them as an ultimatum. During a meeting with senior Russian Foreign Ministry officials, Putin demanded that Ukraine cede four regions that voted to join Russia and guarantee it will never join NATO. Zelensky, attending the G7 meeting in Italy, emphasized that these demands are unacceptable and tantamount to surrender. The Kremlin, however, described the offer as a comprehensive and constructive proposal. As the conflict continues, the gap between Moscow's demands and Kiev's position remains wide, with peace still a distant hope.
