Given the full context of Francis, your assessment is wishful thinking. Just ask Cardinal Burke.
No. I have found reporters take a piece of something the Pope says, leaving out parts of it, so it makes a sensational wrong statement. Pope Francis made a statement some time ago about welcoming homosexuals into the church if they were willing to stop their sinful life. What was reported, was, “The Pope Welcomes Homosexuals” and the public crucified the Pope for saying that because they didn't have the whole statement. So, I only believe what the Pope actually says, not an individual’s “idea” of what he said.
All sinners, which is all of us, are welcome into the Catholic church if they believe in the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost, and stop their egregious sinful habits. The church is for sinners who believe and want to live a Christian life.
