While I admittedly have not read up a great deal on this subject I did however come accross some articles I was saving to read at some point.  So here are some more tidbits for anyone else looking into this in more detail...

i made that same mistake and had to re-read books words and then go find a picture of the pope
the cross is made of iron ..it's not the iron cross



so far i like his very direct style..should be interesting to see how the politics of the church handles him


bts
i read a few articles about him and that the two priests were opposite his think and his strict views of the church and that they we were too progressive for his liking but that he was working to get them freed..just not real fast....i looked but can't find the article again ..sorry

i was raised catholic and have not cared a fig since i left my mothers house what the church was doing but this guy for whatever reason has drawn my curious attention
the jesuits as a group aren't to be messed with..sorta the mafia of the church ..but on their own terms..at least from what i have read and been told by a few with personal experience of them
i think it's going to get interesting

looks like a Knights of Malta Banker is also in charge of the finances...

Pope Oks German lawyer to head embattled Vatican bank

VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI signed off on one of the last major appointments of his papacy Friday, approving a German lawyer and financier to head the Vatican's embattled bank.

Ernst von Freyberg has solid financial and Catholic credentials as a former investment banker and member of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, an ancient chivalrous order drawn from European nobility.

The appointment ends a nine-month search after the Institute of Religious Works ousted its previous president, Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, for incompetence. The ouster came just as the Vatican was submitting its finances to a review by a Council of Europe committee in a bid to join the list of financially transparent countries.

The Vatican said von Freyberg, currently the chairman of a Hamburg-based ship component group Blom+Voss Group, had been appointed by the bank's commission of cardinals and that the pope had "expressed his full consent."

The appointment may well be one of the last major decisions of Benedict's papacy given his planned retirement Feb. 28, and signals what the Vatican hopes will be a revived push to clean up its reputation in international financial circles.

The Vatican passed the Council of Europe Moneyval committee's transparency test over the summer, but the IOR and the Vatican's financial watchdog agency received failing grades. The new president will be tasked with bringing the IOR into compliance by Moneyval's next review.

If I'd meant Iron Cross I'd have written it that way. As above, the cross is made of iron, lowercase.

Perhaps wearing an iron cross, lowercase, is his way of wearing the Iron Cross without wearing the Iron Cross.

The irony remains. An Italian from Argentina, a country where many Nazis ended up, has been elected Pope.

The list of "coincidences" continues to grow.
