    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/comm/popebenedictxvi/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.

    He speaks ten languages including:

    German
    Italian
    English
    ecclesiastical Latin

    I couldn't find the others, though. :-( How are you going to say he speaks 10 and only give four of them, huh?

    @Charmaine Jay, @stuart you are both ignorant bigots. If you can not answer the question, do not post offensive comments. We who believe in God can do without ignorant comments from stupid atheists.

    I think he is fluent in bigotry and condemnation

    Both of which are listed as a necessary requirement on the Catholic Church application form
