March 11, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Some of the most prominent English language newspapers in the world - the Times and the Daily Telegraph in London; the Globe and Mail in Canada; the Age and the Sydney Morning Herald in Australia; as well as Reuters news agency and ABC News and NPR in the US - have run this week with the story that the "Vatican" has "re-written" the traditional seven deadly sins and offered a "replacement" list. But Catholic journalists and media watch groups have said it is a blatant case of media distortion and the creation of a massive teapot tempest.
Within hours of an interview with a Vatican official appearing in L'Osservatore Romano, the news wires were flooded with hundreds of reports. "Vatican updates seven deadly sins", ABC News offered; from Reuters we have "Vatican lists 'new sins', including pollution"; the Sydney Morning Herald wrote, "Vatican updates seven deadly sins".
Out (say the news outlets) are lust, greed, gluttony and sloth; in are environmental degradation, "social injustice" and being too wealthy.
But according to Catholic media experts, the headlines have distorted beyond recognition the original L'Osservatore Romano interview with Archbishop Gianfranco Girotti, an official of the Apostolic Penitentiary, the Vatican office that oversees the delicate and difficult matters of confession of sins.
Catholic author and journalist Phil Lawler said the "media need a reality check".
