Pope Francis apologized on Tuesday after he was quoted using a homophobic slur during a recent closed door meeting with Italian bishops to reaffirm the Catholic Church's ban on gay priests. Pope Francis has made a point of reaching out to LGBTQ+ Catholics and has long maintained that there is room for everyone" in the Catholic Church. Host Carolyn Beeler speaks with Andrea Rubera, an Italian who is Catholic, gay and a father of three. In 2015, Rubera had a phone conversation wth Pope Francis that persuaded him that the Catholic Church would welcome him and his family.
