A Long, Detailed Essay in Der Spiegel About That A*hole Pope Benedict

Awesome article from Germany, where they take this kind of crap seriously. And what a great title: "A German Pope Disgraces The Catholic Church"

And then there is the question that has the entire world worried: How can it be that a German pope, of all people, is pardoning a Holocaust denier? Did the pope underestimate the impact of his gesture? Did Benedict XVI have a plan, or was his decision based on the occasionally obscure theological logic of the Vatican's clerical bureaucrats? Does the pope, a man of books throughout his life, still understand the world outside his palace walls?
