Merkel Turns to 'Higher Source' for Help Navigating Europe's Financial Mess

September 22, 2011 8:24 AM EDT
Europe's woes just got real.

According to reports Thursday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has turned to a higher source for guidance in navigating Europe's financial markets.

The Chancellor hosted Pope Benedict XVI (born Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger) this week, who is making a four-day trip to his home country. During his stay, the Pope will address parliament and attempt to evade protestors.

Sources say Merkel and the Pope spoke about financial markets, though no details about the talks were released. No word on whether the Pope will set up a boutique shop in Bavaria following the visit.

Looks like someone picked-up where Goldman's (NYSE: GS) Blankfein probably doesn't want to leave off.
