I was not aware of his former statements about homosexuality until the recent news.
Maybe he learned from this gay clerical circle in Rome that this attribute is not a disease but a very human nature like being blue eyed or left handed.
“If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” reads to me "If someone is gay..." not "if some priest is gay...".
I'm sure the Pope will have a second chance to clear this statement.
