From the article...

Scalfari said that, at the end of the 80-minute conversation, he asked Pope Francis permission to report the conversation. The Pope agreed, and Scalfari offered to send him the text before its publication.

According to Scalfari, the Pope told him not to “waste time” in sending him the text, saying, “I trust you.”

Scalfari said he nevertheless sent his text of the conversation to the Vatican on Sept. 29, together with an accompanying letter.

It gets more complicated. The Vatican was OK with the article and put it up on the website, but later took it down, as it was claimed that the Pope referring to the Curia as a "leprosy" was taken out of context.
