By default he was talking about all homosexuals the church have not always been right but they have done so much good in the world with foreign aid and setting up hospitals that to tar all clergy with the same brush is wrong. Personally i agree with the poster this present pope is doing all he can to try and change things since entering office he has refused the trappings of wealth and power and proven himself to be a man of the people and i am in no way religious but the present pope is trying to make a difference
I'll give you the foreign aid and hospitals, but not that they do more good than bad. Look at their history. They have the blood of millions, if not billions of people on their hands, and they're just trying to sweep it under the carpet because they don't run the world anymore. Let's not forget the repression of scientific advancement they implemented, nor the execution of those that disagreed with them. More recently, THIS BULLSHIT (
