Ok, there are some cherry-picked quotes in that article that really obscure the context. That being said, it looks to me like Benedict was speaking about the culture at large, and not teachings of the church. None of the quotes in that article would bring me to the same conclusion as the author (or you). Just my opinion from the reference you provided.

I simply did a quick search for a story about this, it was years ago and I don't have a link to the exact quote I was referring to.
