The New Pope, a Hardliner?

The new Pope has chosen the name of Benedict XVI, the previous pope who chose this name did not hold the title for long and commentators are saying that by choosing this name he was giving a message; he is 78 years old. He has been the Doctorinal authority in the Vatican and is a serious defender of strict christian traditions. He is known to have strong beliefs about matters such as homosexuality and equality of religions; he believes that the Christianity is the Truth. He has a remarkable capacity for languages and has been in Vatican for a long time. There were rumors about his affiliation with Nazis which have been completely rejected. [REUTERS/Max Rossi]
