Papa Francis anadaiwa kuwaambia maaskofu wa Italia kutowaruhusu wanaume mashoga kupata mafunzo ya ukasisi, huku magazeti mawili ya Italia yakidai kuwa papa huyo mwenye umri wa miaka 87 alitoa maneno ya chuki dhidi ya watu wa jinsia moja katika mkutano wa faragha wiki iliyopita.
Wakinukuu vyanzo kutoka ndani ya mkutano huo, magazeti ya Corriere della Sera na La Repubblica yaliripoti Jumatatu kuwa Papa alitoa maoni hayo alipokuwa akikutana na maaskofu wa Italia Mei 20.
Makala za gazeti hilo, zilizotafsiriwa kutoka Italia, zilidai kuwa Papa alisema kuna "frociaggine" - ambayo hutafsiri kwa Kiingereza hadi "fagotry" - katika baadhi ya seminari.
Matamshi hayo yalifanyika katika muktadha wa mapendekezo kutoka kwa maaskofu wa Italia kurekebisha miongozo ya watahiniwa wa seminari.
Vatikani iliamua mwaka wa 2005 kwamba kanisa haliwezi kuruhusu kuwekwa wakfu kwa wanaume ambao ni mashoga au wana mielekeo ya ushoga "iliyozama".
Mnamo 2016, Francis alishikilia uamuzi huu. Miaka miwili baadaye aliwaambia maaskofu wa Italia wasikubali watu wanaotaka kuwa wapenzi wa jinsia moja kwenye ukasisi.

Pope Francis allegedly told Italian bishops to not permit gay men to train for the priesthood, with two Italian newspapers claiming that the 87-year-old pontiff made a homophobic slur in a closed-door meeting last week.
Citing sources from inside the meeting, the Corriere della Sera and La Repubblica newspapers reported Monday that the Pope had made the comments while meeting with Italian bishops on May 20.
The newspaper articles, which were translated from Italian, claimed the Pope had said there is “frociaggine” – which translates in English to “faggotry” – in some of the seminaries.
The remarks took place in the context of proposals from the Italian bishops to amend guidelines on candidates to seminaries.
The Vatican ruled in 2005 that the church cannot allow the ordination of men who are actively gay or have “deep-seated” homosexual tendencies. In 2016, Francis upheld this ruling.
Two years later he told the Italian bishops not to accept gay candidates for the priesthood.
During his pontificate, the Pope has sought to offer a more welcoming approach to LGBTQ+ Catholics, saying “who am I to judge?” when asked about gay priests, and has also offered the possibility that priests could offer informal blessings for same-sex couples.
The Corriere della Sera newspaper stated that the Argentine pope, who speaks Italian as a second language, may not have been aware of how offensive his language was, adding that the remark was greeted with incredulous laughter by the bishops.
A source close to the Pope told CNN that it could also be understood as there is a “gay climate” in the seminaries.
There is no official transcript of the comments due to the nature of the closed-door meeting.
CNN has reached out to the Vatican to request comment on whether the Pope used the term. They have not yet responded.

UPDATE
- Papa Francis aomba radhi baada ya ripoti kudi alitumia lugha ya chuki kwa wanaojihusisha na mapenzi ya jinsia moja
