He also said being a Catholic is hard. Reread the first paragraph I quoted.
It's fine to look to the implication of what he's saying as well. You can't just focus on whether or not something is explicitly said.
The point was that it's hard but rewarding enough to him that it made him very happy. I'm pretty sure he's not wishing ill will upon anyone. At least that's not at all what he said.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
