Holy Father Disses Seminary Sisters
In a private meeting with the Italian Bishops' Council on May 20th, focused on new guidelines for admissions to seminaries, Pope Francis used an Italian slur for homosexuals, saying seminaries already had an air of frociaggine, roughly translating to "faggotness." O
With the spotlighting Sun we see asteroid Vaticana (for the Vatican), as well as asteroids Antinous and Dionysus, both associated with gays (as the lover of Roman Emperor Hadrian and a gender-fluid, crossdressing Greek god, respectively), focusing attention on papal attitudes about homosexuality. The Pope's personal involvement is seen as asteroid Francis on the fulcrum of a T-Square with Uranus and asteroid Sappho, suggesting something controversial or shocking (Uranus) involving gays (Sappho, named for an ancient Greek lesbian poet).

As well, a glance at the Pope's birth chart suggests there may be more than vestments in the Vatican closets. With the Sun conjunct asteroid Eros (Hellenistic patron of homosexual unions) and opposed asteroid Dionysus, and asteroid Sappho exactly squared Venus (romance & attraction), plus two more prominently placed gay markers, the pope's slur may have been simply the familiarity expressed by many gay men who use traditional homosexual slurs amongst themselves without malice.
Francis is, after all, a gender-neutral name.
