MUNICH – Pope Benedict XVI is to give an unprecedented interview Saturday to four German TV journalists invited to his summer residence, Castel Gandolfo, with the discussion set to air worldwide on August 13.
The German-born pope has already given a couple of one-on-one television interviews in his year-long papacy, but no head of the Catholic church has ever gone before the cameras to handle a panel of questioners for a full hour.
"Nothing like this ever occurred with Pope John Paul II," recalls Father Eberhard von Gemmingen, head of the German section of Vatican Radio, who is to be one of the four interviewers.

I think this is just awesome.
It shows how big and important the media have become when even the Pope has an hour long interview broadcast worldwide.
I wanna see the pope! Is there a way to get a view of the broadcast (with translation???). I wish it were in a romance language, I don’t do German.
