Young Joseph Ratzinger

I am pulling together some images and information for a presentation for my students in preparation for seeing the Pope this coming Saturday. I found this!

Apparently he saw a Cardinal at age 5 and returned home to announce that he, too, wanted to become a Cardinal. As per becoming Pope, he reported that as the Conclave was at work in April 2005 he prayed, "At a certain point, I prayed to God 'please don't do this to me'...Evidently this time, he didn't listen."
