God's Rottweiler?
Beliefnet.com has a very interesting article about Pope Benedict / Ratzinger with a sub-header of:
German Inquisition meister. Prince of the New Dark Ages. Torquemada of the 21st century. God's Rottweiler. And Pope.
Wow. This could be an interesting few years.
...and I already mentioned this to my friend Jon, but - allow me to be rather irreverent and inappropriate for humor's sake for a moment - Benedict/Ratzinger looks an awful lot like Palpatine/Sidious. If the pope starts shooting lightening bolts out of his fingers, I'm gonna freak.
Disclaimer: In all seriousness, I wish this man only blessings in his new position and may God's power and mercy be upon his leadership. I'm just too big of a Star Wars geek to pass up the humorous reference.

Oh, by the way, if he starts building a Death Star, this is going to be the coolest decade ever.

Use the force, Trev!
That is a scary resemblance. Anyhow, as a non catholic, I too wish him nothing but Gods blessing. He does have tough shoes to fill though
BTW, my boss calls him Pope Palpatine.
