Daily News… Vatican says Benedict XVI will have title ‘pope emeritus’ Pope Benedict XVI will be known as «pope emeritus» and can continue to wear the white papal cassock after he steps down this week, the Vatican said Tuesday, revealing details about the final moments surrounding the historic resignation. The leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics can still be referred to as «His Holiness Benedict XVI» and will have the additional title of «Roman pontiff emeritus», Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said. Benedict chose the titles himself, Lombardi said. He will continue wearing the white cassock normally reserved for pontiffs after he resigns on Thursday -- the first leader of the Catholic Church to do so since the Middle Ages -- but without the doubled shoulder cape, Lombardi said. The 85-year-old German pontiff stunned the world when he announced on February 11 that he would step down at the end of the month, citing his age and failing strength, following a troubled eight-year papacy dominated by scandals and Vatican intrigue. The scourge of paedophile priests and cover-ups by their superiors has cast a dark shadow over his papacy, continuing into his final days, with activists calling Tuesday for cardinals Sean Brady of Ireland and Roger Mahony of the United States to be barred from the conclave over their roles in the scandals. The Vatican meanwhile gave more details on the delicate transition for the former Joseph Ratzinger’s delicate transition into retirement. Lombardi said Benedict has chosen to swap his trademark red shoes for a brown pair given to him by artisans in Mexico during a trip last year, adding that he would also stop wearing the gold Fisherman’s Ring used to seal papal documents. Tradition dictates that the ring be destroyed and a new one cast for each pope, but when that occurs will be up to Vatican number two Tarcisio Bertone, the camerlingo or chamberlain who will be «interim pope» until a successor to Benedict is found.

International News… bishop’s Rolex to pay church bill A top Bulgarian cleric accused of leading a privileged lifestyle, has offered his luxurious Rolex watch to pay his cash-strapped church’s electricity bills. «Plovdiv Metropolitan Nikolay has offered one of his few personal objects, a Rolex watch, to the Saint Marina church, requesting that it be sold so that the electricity bill can be paid,» said the church, one of the main ones in the central Bulgarian city of Plovdiv. Bulgaria’s Orthodox Church is the largest property owner in the country after the state but is short on liquid funds and its clergy receive a pittance in salary.
Batman to lose son Robin Batman may be able to save the world, but he’ll lose his sidekick Robin -- who in his current incarnation is his son -- in the upcoming Batman Incorporated comic book series. DC Comics said the caped crusader’s acrobatic young assistant, Batman alter ego Bruce Wayne’s son Damian, will die in Wednesday’s issue number eight. «This master theme of damaged and ruined families was nowhere more in evidence than in the creation of Damian, the first ‘Son of Batman’ to be acknowledged in the canon,» series writer Grant Morrison said in a statement.
