Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. is dead, this news went through almost all major media on New Year’s Eve and the following days – with very different headlines. The FAZ wrote an obituary for “a pugnacious theologian”, as the title made clear, picture imagined the ex-Pope in capital letters “BY GOTT”. The SZ captioned its obituary with the probably correct line “One person”. The online magazine queer.de put it more clearly: “With Ratzinger, one of the biggest anti-queer agitators died,” is the title of the obituary, which promptly polarized social media. And after a complaint, the Berlin police are now also investigating the medium for “denigrating the memory of the deceased”. This was confirmed by a police spokesman on SZ request.
