"None of this, of course, is to excuse La Repubblica’s - TopicsExpress



          

"None of this, of course, is to excuse La Repubblica’s sloppiness in not making clear to readers that what was being presented as the literal words of the pope was actually a reconstruction, not a transcript. Barring further clarification from the Vatican, it’s now impossible to cite any particular lines or formulae from that interview and attribute them directly to the pope, since we don’t know quite where Scalfari ends and Francis begins. It would also be a mistake, however, to simply disregard the interview, including the critical matter of what happened to Francis immediately after his election. "
