Pope’s parents met through personal ad, German paper says:

Bild am Sonntag said 43-year-old Joseph Ratzinger senior placed an advertisement as a "low-level civil servant" seeking "a good Catholic girl, who can cook and sew a bit … to marry as soon as possible, preferably with a picture," in a Bavarian paper in March 1920.

Four months later – by now a "mid-ranking civil servant" – he posted a similar notice in the same paper, and this time received a reply from Maria Peintner, the Pope’s future mother, the paper reported, citing documents from Bavarian state archives.

The second advert in the Altoetting weekly Liebfrauenbote stressed the gendarme Ratzinger’s "irreproachable past" and said that while it would be "desirable" if his bride had some money, it was "not a condition" for marriage.

I’m guessing (just guessing) this is the article.

Brothers.
