Pope drops "f" bomb

Pope Francis drops an ‘f-bomb’
By Alexandra Petri

Yes, this really happened.
The Pope, speaking Italian in his Sunday address, said “cazzo” when he meant “caso.” One word means “example.” The other is a vulgarity.
(It’s not technically the f-bomb, but it’s a rude set of syllables that can be used as equally convenient route for the same sentiment. Expletives in one tongue never map quite perfectly onto another.)
Oops.

well , me being Italian , this is right up my ally :), cazzo is the male genetaila in italian, but its mostly uses in slang Italian for "what the f___" or mostly " like f___" but if they use the word in its origional form you woud get something like " My C___" .
Im sure the Italians had a big laugh from it because "Caso" is missspell so the Pople reading it screwd up because of the missspell, "example " in Italian is writen "esempo"
there you have Italain 101 :)

eL casa nostrium takes on a whole different side as lighter scro'up in linguistics that would be really glossy ... like Casa Blanca and that sense of lost love .. when you gave up intellect for other desires ... and giving up on Gothic things ... like fear of god for some respect ... then like some critters you'll stay out of that way ... pure gods are dangerous two ... some subtle Roman Thinker (aDonis?). That'd be black as basalt ... no? Di Vinci and Dan Browns mere humis as smeared by those that didn't know the depth of it! The nature of conscience or cognizance when driven underground ... thus the unconscious form of cognizance ... or unknown awareness?
Displaced wisdom in this place? It can get the archetype cranked and spinning at the actions of mortals ... who hold unknowing, or innocence up as an idealism (type of god)!
If institutionalized you haven't a hope of looking into it due to preconceived Wahls ... disrupts poetic synchronicity ... first we need the Runes ...

And then on the inverse side of the mind an "f" is a "t" a pure image ... not a virtual screwup like Platonic Intercourse thought ... that bosun that forms the mind as dot ... or Dorothy in OZ ... ode by all means by what's out there ... on both extremes ... ptolemix as social psychology and they didn't ...?
Thus still we know little ... as a social disfunction ...

I think this pope is great. For far too many centuries the traditional role of the pope was god-like, filled with useless pomp and ceremony. The pope needs come down from the ivory tower and live with the people, as one of the people.

Hi crazyheart,
What do you think?
Sensationalism, slow news day or shoddy journalism. I wouldn't rule out all three at the same time.
Grace and peace to you.
