And the Guardian's headline reads:
Pope beats dog
. This is echoed by the NYT and WaPo and is carried by the International media for days. PETA comes out in opposition to the Vatican, sending nude over-the-hill celebrities to St Peter's square to protest. This causes wall-to-wall coverage on both CNN and Fox News for another few days. MSNBC decides, instead, to cover the latest female "ordination" and homosexual couple "married" by the Old Catholic Church and just happen to forget to mention that they haven't been in communion with Rome for 150 years.Meanwhile, unreported in the news media, ELF is thwarted for bombing attempts at 20 Papal Nunciares around the world.
