@BlackCappa I suppose that's possible but it's really hard to get the complete homily without buying the book. I was able to score more of it the other day. Since then they restricted the pages that I was reading before.
What I'm fairly sure of is that this accusation against Pope Benedict is wrong and that in the context which discusses many issues pertaining to the fall of man it's difficult to come away believing, at least from what I was able to read, that this was intended or can seriously function as a denial of original sin by propagation.
The part that you outlined seems enough to show that there is actually nothing wrong about it. Maybe, the sedes just don't get what original sin is...
@BlackCappa I had a lot of trouble with this, not just with the time constraint, but because of one specific sentence. It was only after reading all that was available and chewing on it for the last week did it make sense. I also went fishing through the writings of Doctors of the Church, which never ended up in the video, but which provided proper personal perspective. I'm just afraid that it was hard to convey this and it's doubly hard given that the complete homily is not available.
Is it possible that His Holiness is discussing original sin also in light of Eastern Catholic understanding?
