The New York Times, Exclusive By-Line: the scribe
New research by renowned scholars suggests that Christians may be victims of misinformation with regard to many of their revered figures, one such being Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone of Assisi, Italy, whose mother gave him the quirky nickname Francesco (Frenchy, Francis).
It is now known, from recently discovered evidence, that the Vatican, using secret forums and processes not reviewed by reputable journalists and scientists, may have used hearsay, conducted suppression of evidence, and accepted evidence inadmissible in a court of law to present to the world for veneration a person they call St. Francis of Assisi.
Scholars now dispute the accuracy of that designation. New evidence has emerged from several sources, who request anonymity for fear of retribution. This evidence now suggests that the Vatican’s presentation of St. Francis of Assisi is inaccurate if not perhaps even felonious. Scholars have found that these sources, which have been carefully vetted, describe Francesco as a thief and child molester as well as clinically impaired to the point of requiring hospitalization to protect the welfare of communities in Italy, Egypt, and The Levant.
If this new evidence withstands peer review — scholars knowledgeable in the subject say it likely will — then Christians may need grief counseling and misinformation rehabilitation therapy from certified professionals in those fields.
Details are too explicit for publication here. They will be available soon for the curious to examine once scholars publish their findings and give interviews in peer-reviewed journals. Expert opinion based on strong new evidence now paints a very different picture of Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone than the one presented by the Vatican now for over these several centuries.

It is my observation that Sulzbergers publish whatever they feel maintains their status as “the paper public forum of record.” Whatever might diminish that status, in their estimate, they hit. Whatever might expand that status, in their estimate, they publish.
They are a business whose product is a skein of supreme credibility with respect to highlighting important events of the day.
I do not begrudge a man his business. I do reprove a man for cultivating pretension to supreme credibility.
