Benedict XVI
The new pope, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger has taken the title Benedict XVI.
Cardinal Ratzinger, a 78 year old German has been introduced to to ecstatic crowds in St. Peter's Square, he is known as an uncompromising traditionalist, and has previously held the post of head of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith. Many Catholics may be a little disheartened at the election of such a hard line fundamentalist, and one of such senior years.
Benedict XVI is the first German born pope for over a thousand years.
