Pope Benedict Unveils Debut Album - Exclusive Track Listing!

Reuters just reported today that Pope Benedict is set to release his debut album. This, of course, is trailing on the massive success of other public figures turning to music, including Paris Hilton, Shaquille O'Neal, and William Shatner.

The debut album, titled "Alma Mater" ("Nourishing Mother") will be unleashed into record stores on November 30, hopefully on CD, Vinyl, iTunes, and a USB stick in the shape of a crucifix.

According to Reuters, "The album will feature the backing vocals of The Choir of the Philharmonic Academy of Rome blended with modern classicist recordings by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It will be mixed at London's Abbey Road Studios." While the Vatican has not revealed anything else to Reuters, we got the skinny on the other guest appearances on the album, as well as the cover art:
