Vatican Denies Pope Felicitated Hitler

I had to look of the definition of “felicitated”* as I could not believe the New York Times would use the word or a similar word I thought they had used.

* as per the Oxford University Press Dictionary: early 17th century (in the sense ‘regard as or pronounce happy or fortunate’): from late Latin felicitat- ‘made happy’, from the verb felicitare, from Latin felix, felic- ‘happy’.
