The startling resignation of Pope Benedict XVI (nee Joseph Ratzinger) brings to mind a number of considerations. Ratzinger was something of a caretaker, charged with sustaining the Opus-Dei style reaction gripping the Vatican and keeping the lid on potentially damaging inquiries..

There have been a number of misleading reports, troubling anomalies, and outright hoaxes following the tragedy in Newtown, CT.

There have been multiple hoaxes and ample misreporting in the Newtown tragedy as the event unfolded. As a consequence, there is an unfortunate topic we’re going to have to revisit.
