Pope Francis has called out nuns with 'vinegar faces' and told them to avoid gossip in a bizarre tirade.

The pope, 88, urged a group of Dominican nuns from the Union of St Catherine of Siena of the Missionaries to 'distance' themselves from tales.

'Gossip kills, gossip poisons. Please, no gossiping among you, none. And to ask this of a woman is heroic but, come on, let's move forward and no gossip', he said in one of his off-the-cuff speeches that are fast becoming part and parcel of his papacy.

'That's not something that helps to attract people. Vinegar is nasty and nuns with a vinegar face, let's not even talk about it', he added.

Pope Francis, who became the leader of the Catholic church in 2013, also urged the nuns not to speak with the Devil.

'The Lord has shown us that he spoke with everyone, except … there was one person that the Lord never spoke with: the Devil.

'Please, speak with everyone except the Devil. The Devil enters the community, he sees the jealousies, all those things that belong to all humans, not just women, everyone, that's where the Devil goes. No dialogue with the Devil, understood? We don't speak with the Devil.'

He has long courted controversy - earlier this year, he was reported to have used derogatory language against gay people when talking about men training to be priests in seminaries.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Dear Your Holiness Pope Francis,

Regarding the "vinegar faces" of certain nuns. Me thinks this has to do with their disapproval of certain shenanigans going on at the Vatican. Perhaps this is their way of expressing their displeasure and since rapping knuckles is out of the question they give "that look.

Sincerely,

Morgana
