        Here’s a further question for the gallery: Has he ever been alleged to have composed a chess problem, as his predecessor was?

        It’s POPE BENEDICT!!! The current Pope! Oh my, I never dreamed I’d see such ignorance on this blog. But, not being able to recognize the Pope is unbelievable….and it doesn’t matter if you’re religious or not.

        It’s like showing someone a photo of Pres. Bush and no one being able to recognize him!

        This is the Pope! And, he’s in the USA and that’s why he’s in the news more now!

        Geez, even 1st grade students would know this.

        Ignorance on this level and not knowing the face of the leader of over 1 billion christians on Earth is quite embarrassing.

        Unbelievable…

        “It’s like showing someone a photo of Pres. Bush and no one being able to recognize him! “
        It’s far more unbelievable comparing the pope with Mr Bush.
        I am not religious and so I am not a pope’s fan but if I was I would get very angry about this.
        The pope versus a man that is hated almost everywhere in the world (except USA) for his brutality in the world (wars, epecially so called anti-terror wars that make things that are worse than the terror itself, torture of enemies (e.g. Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo…)) and for his ignorance (the USA as superior race being allowed to do all this violence; US citizens having more rights than others e.g. in case of war crimes), a man that apparently betrayed in the last ballot….

        That is unbelievable.

        Jochen,

        *News Flash*

        Bush is hated here in the USA too.
        78% of the US Population hates his guts. I’m glad he is finished. Good riddance to bad garbage.

        Have a nice day.

        BLEEEEEEP! Sorry, you lose. The question was who is he and why is he in the news? You answered the first part, but left out the second.
