Don't forget Pius IX. A true idiot, and Pius X, an authoritarian paranoid. More seriously, the two popes listed claimed to love Vatican II while working against it. The bishops cited have tried to turn the Church into an arm of the Republican Party. There is much to ridicule in that. Their archaic view of homosexuality in a time where it is not disorder but simply a natural variation is not the charity the Church stands for. We are not operating under some kind of PC dream when simply stating the truth that the Church was in error in condemning their sexuality (both as a trait and as practiced).
