Proud to be a Catholic once again.
Why this? Nothing is actually changing and his remarks, as all his remarks seem to be, have been 'clarified'. LGBT people are still in the eyes of the church guilty of a 'moral evil'.
He is clarifying the Church's stance on the issue. I understand that he is not advocating for same-sex marriage, but I wouldn't expect that. What I am happy about is how he is asking the Church to take a step back from its rigid reaction to expanding marriage equality around the world and remind people 1) not to judge others, no matter what you believe on the topic, 2) there are issues other than same-sex marriage that are even more important, like helping the suffering, and 3) it is possible for the Church to support civil unions.
