Cornwell fabricated his story of seeing the secret letters and documents of Pope Pius XII.

It turns out, that he had applied for permission to use the Vatican Library which kept those letters and documents by Pope Pius XII and the Vatican approved his application.

The problem was, he never showed up, but merely used already public documents, then fabricated his own version of other events.

I don’t understand why we should consider every piece of trash published anywhere in the media. Credibility of the source is what is important.

This is fake news re the undead Pope emeritus.

Its an obsession of some attached to 1Peter5 that Pope Benedict is still the true Pope and Francis is illegitimate. Though they wont come out and actually say that of course.
