Here we offer an “interview” with Pope Benedict XVI that draws on his previous writings on the subject of homosexuality, on giving legal recognition to homosexual unions, and on the duties of Catholic politicians.

This is NOT an actual interview with Pope Benedict, let alone with the present Pope, Francis. It is an assemblage of some of Pope Benedict's statements on the subject of homosexuality. The content is the selection of Mr. Akin, not everything Pope Benedict has said or written on the topic.

It is very likely that, at some point during his long career as a theological writer, Pope Benedict mentioned the Old Testament prohibitions on homosexual behavior, as well as the many relevant New Testament passages.

I think, the quotes around "interview" and my assigning authorship to Akin make that clear. Is there a problem with the post?
