Pope Benedict XVI, in addition to his native German, fluently speaks Italian, French, English, Spanish and Latin, and has a knowledge of Portuguese. He can read Ancient Greek and biblical Hebrew. http://www.usccb.org/.../benedictfacts.shtml

At the end of his speech on Christmas, the pope delivered Christmas greetings in 33 languages. http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0507335.htm

With love in Christ.
