It doesn't really matter what the Pope thinks. The Pope shouldn't even be considered a world leader. He's only influential because people think he's got a pipeline to heaven. Of course he doesn't have one. He can't talk to God any more than anyone else can.
If people look to him for a source of morality, then they're looking in the wrong place. The Catholic Church is one of the most immoral, corrupt groups on the planet. And unlike other corrupt immoral groups, they have the influence. They're a despicable group of people. If I were God, I'd be ashamed to have those people represent me. I think that the Catholic Church is one of the best evidences against Jesus there is. In fact I'm ashamed to have at one time considered myself a catholic. At the very least i can say it wasn't by choice but by indoctrination.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Yeah, nobody who is sane cares about anything the Pope says.

Well we've had gay marriage since September and I don't see societal collapse. I'm at work, I can see and chat to my colleagues, enjoy the bit of sun and hear the voices of children playing in the back garden of the Hunt Museum, the gentle sussuration of flowing water as the Abbey merges into the Shannon....
Oh my GOD!!! Children are playing supervised in a public place, the END TIMES ARE UPON US!!!!! THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING!!!! Get to high ground people, hordes of feral children are about to feast on our eyes as prophesy says. Save yourselves I'll hold them off as long as I can.
Don't wait for me I'm already dead.

Yeah, where as all the shit they promised?
In their mind, the world has probably turned fiery orange with demons everywhere.

As everything is God's work, isn't the Pope effectively criticising his boss here?
Unless .... it's all..... a..... made up load..... of old....bollox!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Becuase FREE WILL. The Free will of man to do evil against God the Fathers commands is the cause of all evil!!! Including volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunami's and meteor strikes.
/poe hat off
Hang on a minute though ... the Pope's infallible, isn't he?
So the Pope is always right, and he's criticising the work of God, who is also always right.
Hmmm.
Stand back everyone. I think we're about to get the answer to that old "Unstoppable force / immovable object" puzzle ...

If the Pope and his minions think that marriage is so wonderful why aren't they married themselves?

Because the county court house won't issue a marriage license if one of the spouses is a 5 year old boy ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
