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.
