Is the Pope *really* condemning curiosity?

I saw a link to this on Facebook, accompanied by some unflattering comments about Pope Francis seemingly having anti-science views:

Pope: the spirit of curiosity distances one from God

Evan as an atheist from an English Protestant upbringing I find this surprising, which is why I suspect either an inadequate translation or a significant implied context that I am missing.

I read this not in a scientific sense at all but more as an emphasis that only God is omniscient: that people in their lives should have the patience to watch things unfold rather than needing to know all of the answers immediately. I didn't read it as referring specifically to the search for knowledge.
