If the pope says that gays are going to hell does that mean that they're own bishops etc... are going to hell too?

what the pope says has no more value than what Felix the Cat says.
it only matters what the Living God says about the matter.

If the pope said it and the bishops were gay, then according to the pope they went to hell.

The fear of damnation and the promise of salvation are basically the only tools they have in order to subjugate the masses. Without a following, the Catholic (and all other) church is powerless.
The Bible says that all sin is forgiven of the true believer. If being gay is a "sin", then that too would be forgiven by God, not the Pope.

Bishops are not immune from God's laws.
Jesus is the only one who can judge someone to hell.

No, catholics are not for gays, Episcopalians are. Different denomination. Even most anglicans dont agree with the gay issue.

Of course not.
No leader of the Catholic church is ever wrong.
Of course, this is a double standard. But religion is based on fear, not facts.
