For the past week, the Vatican has been enmeshed in a controversy that conservatives say has all the hallmarks of a cover-up but others say is probably the result of botched communications. On Monday, the head of the Vatican communications department, Monsignor Dario Vigano, moderated a presentation of an 11-booklet series of musings by 11 commentators on 'The Theology of Pope Francis'. However, a video of the event confirms that Vigano did read out the entire letter, including the paragraph omitted in the press release. "The whole letter was read and the last paragraph in no way changes the significance of Benedict's previous comments."
