Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Holy Mass this Christmas at the St. Peter's Basilica Square. What language did he used? I believe he is German.

Latin.
Almost all Masses said in the Vatican are in Latin.
With love in Christ.

Yes,he is German, but he was speaking Latin. That is the language used in mass normally.

Officially all Popes use Latin only. But this may be followed by other languages as well.
