The pope has lived for 80+ years, and atleast 60 of those years, he has a priest. One of his primary things he has done is reflect on all the teachings of Christ. He has been thinking theology for atleast 60 years. 3 times my lifetime, atleast 2 times yours. He has been thinking about this stuff for that long, really. And his main focus, even in his early years, was rethinking of our sexuality as it relates to our spirituality.
I don't think anybody can fault him for sticking to his guns on this one, really.
