Wow, you're right. I thought it was a typo by the poster, but "Pope" is not capitalized in the article's original title. That's just wrong.

The AP, and the left in general HATES the Catholic Church, because it is the strongest pro-life, pro free choice, pro private charity, and anti homsexuality voice on the planet.
There is good reason to believe that this controversy was manufactured by the AP, the NYT, and the BBC. Muslims do not generally listen to German academic speeches made by Popes.

"Pope" is not capitalized in the article's original title. That's just wrong. Actually, I think it's right, strictly speaking anyway.
The phrase "the pope" indicates the current holder of an office, just as "the president" describes the holder of an office. Those usages do not require capitalization.
OTOH, the proper name "Pope Benedict" should be capitalized, just as "President Bush" is capitalized.
