VIDEO | Paolo Sorrentino launches the hashtag ‘The new pope’ and is ironic about “faggotness” of Pope Francis

"First effects after the Pope's words": director Paolo Sorrentino jokes about Pope Francis' gaffe and recalls the 2016 film 'The new pope'

ROME – The director of ‘The Young Pope’, Paolo Sorrentino, publishes a video on his social channels on the “first effects after the Pope’s words“, creating a hashtag that follows the title of the 2016 film: #thenewpope. Sorrentino is not casual, he is referring to the fuss created after the pontiff’s words taken from la Repubblica: “There is already too much ‘faggot’”. Where? In seminars. A closed-door dialogue with the bishops of the CEI in the Paul VI Hall, which would have maintained a colloquial tone if there had not been the ‘leak’. Hence the Pope’s apology, but first the memes.
