A German government spokesman said he was "moved and touched" by the surprise resignation of the German-born pontiff. "The German government has the highest respect for the Holy Father, for what he has done, for his contributions over the course of his life to the Catholic Church. "He has left a very personal signature as a thinker at the head of the Church, and also as a shepherd."

Remember, Pope Benedict is German.
