you are assuming that these have sinned. The words of Pope Francis are clear -- not to those who sin continuously but to those who have the inclination to sin -- as do you and I (different sins from the one indicated here of course).
The Popes remarks... hardly represent a break with Catholic church doctrine, which still condemns homosexuality. The Vaticans catechismal stance regarding the LGBTs in our midst remains the same: The church may love the sinner, but it hates the sin. And since Francis was referring specifically to gay priestswho like other Catholic clerics take a vow of celibacy and so dont commit the sin His Holiness wasnt exactly going out on a theological limb.
