New pope says "no" to being naked
in fact, 'Bennedictus' come from the latin 'nedic'- naked, and 'venedo' - vanish, or begone with you,if you are -- in latin phrases usually followed by a noun referring to bodies uncovered.

hence..' vanish your nakedness, or, begone with you, you uncovered body!

Really, I looked it up..
