Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI

Shocking as it may be, that is not a quote from Dawkins, but from a Times headline writer. Apparently, it was misleading enough that even a Murdoch paper had to fix it - it is no longer the headline at that link.

Part of the reasoning in the article is that the Vatican isn't a real country, and the Pope isn't a real head of state. Not that I think the arrest will happen.
