OK. Here's a piece of Catholic-Blogging-YouTube one-upmanship if you like. My very own video of Pope Benedict! Yay! How cool is that then, eh?
Unfortunately, the quality of the camera-work is, well, complete rubbish. Nevertheless, it is worth it just to hear the Bavarian pronunciation of Dee-us. Enjoy - it's only 30 seconds.

Does that mean that as I watch that I'm also recieving his blessing?
See next post...
I enjoyed the clip. Somehow it makes the Basilica look more compact than it really is.
I suggest that the Bavarian pronunciation of Deus is as appropriate as a Polish, Irish, American or, dare I say, an English one! It is the meaning of the words rather than the accent that matters.
That's true - it is actually difficult to get a photo that really gives some indication of the scale of the Basilica.
I wasn't criticising the Holy Father's pronunciation of Latin - just drawing attention to its distinctive Bavarian flavour.
