Arrest the Pope


Pope Benedict XVI, Bishop of Rome, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Sovereign of the State of the Vatican City, Servant of the Servants of God has earned a new title, less prestigious, but vastly more accurate in terms of character portrayal and actual execution of duties: Protector of Grand-Scale Child Molesters.
