The cardinal brings up the matter of civil homosexual unions and begins to coolly catalog a case of why they’re wrong, and exactly how faithful Christians can in serene conscience throw sand in the gears of civil homosexual union machines. The late noted Anglican apologist C. S. Lewis could have written something like this except for the Roman specific references.
If Cardinal Ratzinger switched gears somewhere in this thickly written tome and pronounced “oh, psst, don’t bother with everything else I said, I’m copacetic with homosexual civil unions and so should you be” then it’s up to you to point out the place, or get rudely barracked yourself.
No, I am claiming that Cardinal Ratzinger, quite correctly, explained why the Catholic Church doesn't support Civil Unions. Maybe you should ask Bill Donahue to, "point out the place, or get rudely barracked himself." Could you, in a straightforward manner tell me exactly which sin I've committed?
