When Benedict was a top Vatican official, known as Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, he was quoted as saying that John Paul II's work had had an "inflation" effect on sainthood, a statement he later disavowed.

Through the thin wall, they can hear the driver booming the instructions: no touching, no licking, nothing—unless the stripper offers. In an industry where men are in charge, women make the final call...
