....it seems wrong for once to blame the media for misunderstanding what the Church is doing. The media emphasized the troubling parts of the text, of course, but for the most part understood quite well what the text and the way it was issued had done. It would have been quite easy for Vatican spokesmen or the text itself to have made clear that the relatio was only a series of points the bishops had in fact discussed. That was not made clear. And in Tuesdays indirect recantation, it was hard to determine, despite persistent questions by journalists, how this sorry mess ever saw the light of day.
