Pope Francis unintentionally dropped the F-bomb recently during his weekly blessing from the Vatican.

According to Italian media, Pope said to the faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square that if each one of them does not amass riches only for oneself, but half for the service of others, in this f-k, in this case, the providence of God is going to become visible through this gesture of solidarity, News.com.au reported.

His Holiness inadvertently used the word "cazzo," which is frequently used as a synonym for the four-letter obscenity by the Italians instead of the word "caso" which means "example".
