When will the stupidities cease?
Lella on her blog cites an egregious example of
the instant historical obliviousness (not just simple 'revisionism') that has seemed to envelop the media - Catholic and otherwise - with respect [more properly, without respect!] to Benedict XVI.
When Pope Francis visited the papal apartment for the first time Friday afternoon, apparently the reporters for RAI-TV, Italian state TV's premier channel, gushed about how
this was another 'first' for the new Pope, that never before had such a 'taking possession' of the papal apartment been photographed, and that it was yet another sign of the new Pope's transparency
[as if visiting one's future home for the first time were supposed to be a matter of secrecy?!]... To which Lella posted the two photos below which were widely circulated at the time (along with others in the series, and the corresponding video clip). Some people may even remember the photos for the fact that Ingrid Stampa, who was Benedict XVi's housekeeper when he was a cardinal, was in the group that accompanied the then new Pope (she is seen in the first picture)...
This photo was captioned then as 'Benedict XVI writes his papal signature for the first time'. The cardinal fully dressed in red is Spanish Cardinal Eduardo Martinez Somalo, who was the Papal Camerlengo in 2005 (Cardinal Bertone is the current Camerlengo until Pope Francis names his own). The other cardinal is obviously Cardinal Sodano.
