Matt 13:57-58
57

NASB

So I don't infer anything more into the Pope's statement than the above and a warning about being judgmental as to what God will do and on who he will show mercy to.

God will have mercy on whom he will have mercy and compassion on whom he will (Rom 9:15). But also remember this: God will in no wise clear the guilty (Ex 23:7; 34:7; Num 14:18; Nah 1:3 and this):
Job 10:14
14
If I sin, then Thou wouldst take note of me,
And wouldst not acquit me of my guilt.
NASB
Tell me: When did homosexuality become a virtuous, righteous practice?
