Habemus papam!

I was listening to the radio with the high school kids when Pope Benedict XVI was presented. Quoth clueless radio newscasters, when the name was first given: "Did they just say his name was Decimus Sextus?" "Our translators, umm, cut out. Yeah, that's what it sounded like."

And that, children, is why we should all learn Latin. Or Italian. Or something other than clueless-radio-newscaster-ese.
