He may actually be serious here, but it also could just be an attention grabbing act to get people, who aren't listening yet, to start thinking about the invulnerability of the church in legal matters. The Pope, like the president, shouldnt be above the law.

A head of state, cannot be charged with crimes against humanity, while he's a head of state. Only after he steps down/is removed from office, and the Pope ain't stepping down.

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.
