He also said that women should play a more active role, but that they should not be priests. So his turning away from conservatism has limits.

On TV I just saw him minutes ago, in the same press meeting in a plane he also condemned lobbies in general (when being asked whether there was a gay lobby in the Vatican) and said that all kinds of lobbies are bad. Score!

His comment on gays is just sound reason, and when combining it with his remarks on lobbyism in general it is not much different than what I think and say, too: leave gays as what they are, stop making a big issue of it (both in good or bad), do not discriminate them but also stop pushing gay agendas down the throat of people and society all the time.

My view of marriage and family is unchanged, of course. And I do not expect this pope to change the church's view of gay marriages. Nor has he so far.
