Pope Francis accidentally used a swear word during his weekly blessing on Sunday.
The Pope, who speaks fluent Italian, used the word "cazzo" — which translates to the word "*****," but for Italians is synonymous with the f-word — instead of "caso," the word for "example."
He made the mistake while encouraging Catholics to share their wealth, saying, "If each one of us does not amass riches only for oneself, but half for the service of others, in this *****," the newswire UPI reported.
In the speech, which has been posted to YouTube, the Pope doesn't even flinch when he makes the mistake, corrects himself, and continues with the blessing.
