Thank you oh so very much for this wonderful insight:

Perception is everything, I suppose. Yet you should know that Pope Benedict XVI effected a change this year in the Stations of the Cross that RCs make a part of their Easter observance; a rather controversial change (and upsetting for some): He removed all reference to Saint Veronica who, according to legend and Catholic tradition, out of loving compassion wiped the bloody visage of our Lord with her veil as he struggled under the crushing weight of His Cross along the Via Dolorosa.

The reason given: The traditional account of Saint Veronica does not have a scriptural basis.

Thank God for Pope Benedict XVI!

Not that St. Veronica should be dismissed, but he has made honored the difference between Scripture and tradition by this action - much like the Jews make a distinction between the Torah and the Talmud.
