Cardinal Joseph Alois Ratzinger was elected the leader of 1.1 billion Catholics as Pope Benedict XVI.
That alone can easily make someone famous.
Pope Benedict does have some talents:
+ Along with his native German, Benedict speaks fluent Italian, French, English, Spanish and Latin. He can read ancient Greek and biblical Hebrew.
+ He plays the piano and has a preference for Mozart and Beethoven.
With love in Christ.

in theology, philosophy, and the history of ideas he's quite talented. He never claimed to be famous, or wanted to be famous; you should ask the news media who seem to want to create stories why they have made him famous.

He might not be talented, but he's a Lord Sith look-alike. That's why he's so famous.

He's the head of a huge church. Guess that's enough.
