I prefer one of his other quotes:-
"In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point"

Vicarius said
"Hi! The pope says:
Nietzsche sought to be freed from anything that would bind him to his fellow human beings or to God. Such a misguided understanding of freedom—which interprets participation with others as belittlement—is really a form of alienation. Nietzsche found refuge in words, not in acts of love. "There is no one among the living or the dead," Nietzsche wrote, "with whom I feel the slightest affinity." Alexander Nehamas’s Nietzsche: Life is Literature posits that Nietzsche thought of the world as a literary text and of people as literary characters. This represents a true deprivation and impoverishment of the self and can produce only a culture of death. In Evangelium Vitae, John Paul II states:
In seeking the deepest roots of the struggle between the "culture of life" and the "culture of death" . . . [we] have to go to the heart of the tragedy being experienced by modern man: the eclipse of the sense of God and man. (EV 21)
Without God and man, the individual becomes a caricature"and begins to crumble."
This coming from a pope who thinks that all American Indians are Catholic wannabees and that Protestants are all going to Hell.

God is a mistake of man btw.

God is the mistake. Look at how many people have died in his name. The Holocaust, The Crusades from 1096-1272, just to name a couple.

Nietzsche made the enormous error of asking this as if the two were the only options.
It's like asking "Is a dog a cat or is a cat a dog?"
Neither is true.

God was a pretty damn big mistake when you consider how many holy wars there have been.

Neither. Man didn't make up the Gods, and the Gods can't make mistakes.
