This uproar is stupid. There's nothing to misconstrue here.
To be fair, I thought the progressive uproar over the Sweeney jeans ad was also kind of stupid. It could've just as easily been interpreted as saying beauty is not in biology (genes) but in culture (jeans).

"Jesus says very clearly, at the end of the world, we're going to be asked, ‘How did you receive the foreigner? Did you receive him and welcome him or not?' And I think there's a deep reflection that needs to be made in terms of what's happening." - Pope Leo XIV
