their answer would have been an unambiguous: “No! I absolutely do not approve of homosexuality; it is a mortal sin”

That would have been an incomplete answer then, and it is an incomplete answer now. The Pope gave a better, more adequate answer.

I have no clue what the "new inquisition" article is. Do you have a link?

It seemed to me that the Holy Father gave the other half of the answer, but look as I might, I cannot find the unambiguous statement above.

It is the absence thereof that is at issue.
