Divine Dualism from the Pope

Might God, as Pope Benedict seems to articulate, see the world as dualistic? Andrew Sullivan offers up his view:

You’ve read the press accounts in which the Pope allegedly spoke of protecting the rainforests from destruction in the same vein as protecting heterosexuals from homosexuality. The actual text, brought to us by Rocco, is more complex, but essentially argues that the forms of male and female as created by God can know of no complexity or variance. The fact of same-sex sexual and emotional orientation – displayed throughout nature and expressed by human beings since the beginning of time – is, in the Pope’s view, a divine error.

(Bows, Andrew)
