"Il Manifesto", "quottidiano comunista", titelte zur Papstwahl zweideutig, worauf mich eine Italienerin hinwies: "Pastore tedesco" heisst "deutscher Pastor" und "Deutscher Schäferhund"...
UPDATE samstag: Das hat auch die BBC vermerkt, allerdings ohne den Namen der Zeitung zu nennen. Leicht unsauber, fast schon hämisch, find ich!

Cardinals have described some of the media descriptions of the former cardinal as myths and caricature, and insist he is a simple and serene man. Now he is pope, the Vatican does not want to see any more references to "God's Rottweiler". But one Italian newspaper has continued the theme with a rather more subtle headline: "<a href=dict.leo.org target=_blank>The German Shepherd".
