Catholic Herald Publishes Pope Benedict XVI 'Media Maze' Guide

In the heat of the moment, sensational stories concerning the Holy Father's non-role in the abuse scandal can appear perplexing.

In what amounted to a sudden, intense, and nasty bout of media eczema that spread like wildfire across the World, leaving everyone who read the vile news stories feeling irritated, vexed and some sleepless, it has been a somewhat overwhelming couple of weeks.

Now, we are entering the final stage of Lent and the media usually enter into a period of calm at this time, allowing the Holy Father to actually speak in his Easter message for example.
