the pope is human

I have to admit I have been very interested in the "new" pope, Benedict XVI. He is releasing a new book entitled Jesus of Nazareth which is an expression of his "personal search for the face of the Lord." He specifically sites that he began this work while still being a Cardinal so is not part of Catholic dogma and "everyone is free, then, to contradict me." (whole article). He is basically saying that his words are human words. An endearing quality for a pope!
