According to ANSA, Francis repeated the term on Tuesday as he met Roman priests, saying "there is an air of removed ness in the Vatican," and it was better that young men with a homosexual tendency not be allowed to enter the seminary.

Edit: lemmy replaced the slur with "removed", i just wanted to post the context anyway

it's a instance filter?

I don't really know. It was the first time this happened. The slur was in the text i copied and after submitting it was changed.

Edit: i just took a look in the lemmy docs and my client's settings, didn't find anything related. Anyway it seems to be a global filter and should affect all submissions, which is nice.
