Anche il New York Times commenta i giochetti con photoshop del Vaticano
Vatican Doctors Photo of Benedict's Praise for Francis
VATICAN
CITY — The Vatican admitted Wednesday that it altered a photo sent to
the media of a letter from retired Pope Benedict XVI about Pope Francis.
The manipulation changed the meaning of the image in a way that
violated photojournalist industry standards.
The
Vatican's communications office released the photo of the letter on
Monday on the eve of Francis' five-year anniversary. The letter was
cited by Monsignor Dario Vigano, chief of communications, to rebut
critics of Francis who question his theological and philosophical heft
and say he represents a rupture from Benedict's doctrine-minded papacy.
In
the part of the letter that is legible in the photo, Benedict praised a
new volume of books on the theology of Francis as evidence of the
"foolish prejudice" of his critics. The book project, Benedict wrote,
"helps to see the interior continuity between the two pontificates, with
all the differences in style and temperament."
The
Vatican admitted to The Associated Press on Wednesday that it blurred
the two final lines of the first page where Benedict begins to explain
that he didn't actually read the books in question. He wrote that he
cannot contribute a theological assessment of Francis as requested by
Vigano because he has other projects to do.
