Pope Francis issued an extraordinary apology on Tuesday for using a vulgar gay slur in a closed-door meeting with Italian bishops. "The pope never intended to offend or express himself in homophobic terms and he extends his apologies to those who felt offended by the use of a term, reported by others," the Vatican said in a statement.
