I'm in general agreement with you about the wince-worthy things Pope Francis has said while speaking off the cuff. The man talks too much, and he lacks the careful, wise precision of dear Benedict, may God bless him forever! And Francs supposedly has a very sharp senior communications advisor Greg Burke, formerly of Fox News and a member of Opus Dei. What is HE doing to earn his salary??!

Aargh!!

As for the four sins that cry out to heaven for vengeance:

Murder – sin of Cain (Genesis 4:1-16)
Sodomy – sin of Sodom (Genesis 19:5)
Oppression of the poor - widows, orphans and strangers (Exodus 22:20–23)
Defrauding laborers of their wages –(Deut 24:14–15 and James 5:4)

As I always tell my RCIA students, each of these --- like each of the Ten Commandments --- is not so much an item as a chapter heading. For instance, murder includes abortion, killing embryos in conjunction with stem cell harvesting or IVF, withdrawal of nutrition/hydration from the severely brain injured, drunk driving, unjust acts of war, targeting of civilians, terrorism, indiscriminate killing, etc. etc.

Same with sodomy: we're talking about any vile sexual offenses, and there's a whole catalog of them.

As for the last two, those cover all the REAL "Social Justice" offenses. I consider, for example, under "depriving the laborer of his wages", that excessive taxation, confiscatory fines, mandatory union dues in non-Right-to-Work states, are violations of this sort, Governments can be guilty of this, as well as unions and employers; in fact in the USA, I would consider Big Government THE major violator. As well as global corporations that pay their workers in Indonesia 50 cents an hour for making top brand athletic shoes --- when the same laborer would get $20 an hour in the USA.

Oppressing the widow, the orphan and the foreigner, are likewise "social" sins as well as individual sins.

So yes, abortion and the whole sad, pathetic, infuriating Gay agenda are sins that cry out to heaven. But not the only ones.
