"Papa-Ratzi," "Puff Daddy" and "Papa do Preach"
As usual the British lead the way in journalism.

Not all European papers are sullen about the cardinals' choice. After running through its usual list of humorous captions -- "Papa-Ratzi," "Puff Daddy" and "Papa do Preach" -- Britain's best-selling tabloid The Sun opined: "We applaud a man who recognizes that values are non-negotiable. But is he the bold new man the Catholic Church needs to tackle the problems of the 21st century?"
"Yes," comes the perhaps predictable reply form German papers. "The fact that Ratzinger is from Germany was in the end not an argument against him but for him," says the high-brow Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. "This German -- that is another message of this conclave -- poses no danger to the Church." The mass-market Bild paper also highlights the new pope's nationality. "What an honor," it proclaims, describing the jubilation in Rome, Germany and across the world.
