Here is what Pope Francis, the spokesman of 1.3 billion Christians says:
Homosexuality is 'not a crime,' Pope Francis says

The pope's words are a day late and a dollar short.
The catholic church still largely views homosexual activity as a mortal sin and an abomination.

The pope is ok with same-sex unions but not same-sex marriage.
And of course there's the church's long, documented history of child sexual abuse. The church has a TON of work to do if it hopes to earn back any public trust.
I think it's perfectly fair to have disdain for the church itself without having disdain for catholics in general (or religious people in general).
