Lol. No offense, but it's kinda corny. God's Rottweiler just sounded so intimidating, and that's why it's so effective. The same with Panzer Cardinal. It's just that Golden Retriever makes me think of Lassie for some reason. :)
I think it's still too early to judge his true colors. But, if he continues in the same mold as Cardinal Ratzinger, then maybe "pit bull" may fit.
I believe he pronounces the second syllable of his last name VAY rather than VAH ... so how about
"Levada Anathemator"?
If it were me doing that job, the nickname would be simple: God's Giant Fighting Robot.
We may have to face the fact that not every person gets a cool nickname.
But how about just plain "Lavadanator"?
"Pope's Poodle"?
Sorry, but after all the priests who HAVEN'T been laicized for, e.g., being captured on video sprinkling a bus with Holy Water, as it departs full of parishioners, emblazoned with the name of the parish, to serve as a float in the Gay Pride Parade flanked by naked men and women ("Holy Redeemer Parish, an Inclusive Catholic Community," the Castro District, San Francisco) it would be something of a shock to discover that there IS indeed something that the Vatican considers liturgically, doctrinally, and morally grave enough to laicize a priest for. After Archbishop Timothy Dolan DIDN'T ban his sodomite/embezzler predecessor from his (Dolan's) installation Mass, after Weakland and a dozen other sodomite/pederast bishops have continued blithely, serenely "serving" the Church even after getting caught dead-to-rights, celebrating Masses, confirming children, etc., it seems unseemly in the extreme to laicize a bunch of priests for a mere simulated/sacrilegious celebration of the Eucharist.
