Pope Francis Drops the F-Bomb

You will have to be a nuanced Italian speaker to truly appreciate this one, but apparently Pope Francis I misspoke during his Sunday address this week, accidentally using the word cazzo (or “f*ck”) when he meant to say caso (“case”). He quickly corrected himself and moved on without missing a beat, but naturally it was captured on video for posterity.

Lest you think this means he’s not totally infallible, some Catholics are just chalking the whole thing up to further evidence that this pope is a “man of the people.”
