(26,736 posts)The Vatican said one thing... a reporter claimed that the Pope said something else. We don't know what the Pope said.
So now we're evaluating a "he said/he said" scenario. It's worth taking into account that one of the two sides is a 94 year old man who has now "reported" scandalous things the Pope supposedly said at least five times... without ever taking notes or recording the conversation.
