Pope Francis committed a mistake during his Sunday address March 2, 2014 in Saint Peter’s Square. He accidentally articulated the Italian counterpart of the word f**k instead of saying the word “caso” which is means for the English word “example.” Pope Francis was trying to address for an end to the conflict in Ukraine.

The next line below is a transcript of the Italian speech of Pope Francis’ in Saint Peter’s Square:

“Se ognuno di noi non accumula ricchezze soltanto per sé ma le mette al servizio degli altri, in questo caso la Provvidenza di Dio si rende visibile in questo gesto di solidarietà.”

The English understanding of the Italian line above reads: “If each of us does not accumulate riches only for himself but puts them at the service of others, in this case the Providence of God is made visible in this gesture of solidarity.”

The controversial mistakes of Pope Francis is located between the video track 5:44 – 6:02 from the entire 16 minutes and 03 seconds video footage.

After realizing his mistakes, he immediately made correction of the mistaken word.

Pope Francis also took his Twitter account and tweeted, “In life, we all make many mistakes. Let us learn to recognize our errors and ask forgiveness.”

Comments from the netizens showed a deep understanding of the mistaken Pope knowing that it’s just normal for a man to commit mistakes. They say, the Pope’s mix-up is a common mistake for those who move from speaking Spanish to Italian.
