It's a good thing that the Pope in this cartoon did not call out to "Big Boy's" for a sandwich or something. Can you imagine what the last person (in the cartoon) would have been doing with that!    :-)

(This cartoon reminds me of the old "telephone" game, which some other countries call "Chinese whispers".)

It is plain, though, that when the U.S. mainstream media gets involved in the chain of information, the distortions are radical, deliberate, dishonest, and malicious towards the Catholic Church and her teachings. After some thought about it, it occurred to me that the U.S. mainstream media (New York Times, et al) were very happy to get the first Pope chosen in a while who doesn't speak English, because he cannot quickly or easily see how badly they clobber his own words, when they distort what he said in such brazenly inaccurate and deceitful English translations as those they've produced so far, which have been widely exposed in the past few days.

Personally, in the future, I plan to immediately disbelieve every single thing the U.S. main stream media says about any future Papal interviews, unless and until proven otherwise by more trustworthy translators (just like I already do for their endlessly prevaricating political pronouncements).

Too funny ... it reminds me of the game “try not to imagine” ; - )
