Pope Francis compared gossiping nuns to terrorists during his latest South American tour stop in Lima on Sunday. The pope took a moderate tone, and the nuns he was addressing laughed as he spoke. It appeared to be the first time, however, that he has called people who gossip terrorists. “Do you know what a nun who gossips is?” the pope asked as he spoke to 500 cloistered nuns at the historic Church of the Nazarenas. Don’t gossip in the convent because that will inspire the devil.”Francis also said that gossiping nuns were worse than the “terrorists of Ayacucho,” again drawing laughter.
