ATICAN CITY (AP) — The Associated Press has learned that the Fox news correspondent in Rome has been brought in by the Vatican to help improve its communications strategy as it tries to cope with one of its most serious scandals in decades.

People familiar with the move told AP on Saturday that Greg Burke will become the senior communications adviser in the Vatican's secretariat of state.

Burke said Saturday he had no comment, as did the Vatican spokesman.

1. Pretty shrewd plan really

Fox News is one of the most successful purveyors of false information on the planet.

hehe, you know you really have fu*** it up, when Borgia, the master of lying on the holy seat would doing a face palm.. He was maybe the most ruthless pope ever to be a pope ever.. But he was also a master of rebuilding, and remodeling of Rome... Most of the current rome, was build by this ruthless tyrannic pope who was ny shy to use whatever means to make his goal a reality..

He was a nasty man - but also a man of his age... And also a man with grand ideas about his country - and of the Catholic Church who then was universal all over europe..

[Botany]

5. "Some people say" that the real problem w/ the Vatican is with the people who point ....

.... out any alleged problems or scandals that are associated with the Vatican. The vatican
is looking into any links with these "problem finders" and al Qaeda.

[FreeBC]

6. Unsurprisingly, the Catholic Church chooses the wrong side once again.

They apparently don't like the little people criticizing them for child molestation.

[BlueCaliDem]

7. Well, that pretty much proves it. Fox is a PR propaganda institute

when even the Vatican needs their unscrupulous "reporting" to polish up and make squeaky clean, their pro-pedophilia image.

[KansDem]

8. Man, this speaks volumes!

The Vatican and FOX team up. I wonder how they're going to spin the boy-raping and coverup...

[pennylane100]

15. The boy asked for it.

He was too irresistible in his alter boy gear.

[Fearless]

9. Secretariat was their PR person?

[villager]

10. Too bad Aldous Huxley isn't still around to add an "afterword" to "The Devils of Loudun"

[oldhippydude]

11. great lobbying job

i was wondering how Santorum was going to survive..(such a nice young man).. hey maybe he could teem up with Tucker Carlson.. sweater vest and bow ties..

[just1voice]

12. The "nazi" pope probably idolized Goebbels as a child too

That's f-ing right, I used the "nazi" comparison because of the DIRECT similarities.

[Trajan]

13. A match made in Heaven !

FOX has only been lying for the last 20 years .... The Vatican has them beat by a long shot ....

[frogmarch]

14. Fox's spin doctors are the best. The

Vatican chose wisely.

[WingDinger]

16. Wont stop that new loudmouth mucky muck. He is a loose cannon.

He is glib, crass and pompous. But he seems to lie quite well.

21. What, The Vatican Passed Over This Fox News Person

She is now available and has considerable experience with communications strategy.

25. Churches need to add Pre Fab Sprout Cruel as their hymns.

Churches today need to add some more hymns to the Shadenfreude B.S Christianity is getting impossible to participate with. Is it me or is this other people's experience. None of the people I know can hold a conversation about anything coming from any book. I am fed up with the religious. Just me or do others experience that?

A hymn the Catholic churches should adopt is

Cruel is the kindness that sets people free By Pre Fab Sprout off of Steve Mcqueen.

With all the feet changing direction away from Church and my sole in my running away from religion feet

My books I read promising to be non-religious and use Evolution and Biological psychology and Bio chemistry and electronics physics myths.

My Fraying hands have untied every ounce of religious confusion so I am not confused about academics and spirituality. Religion I don't practice and am unconcerned with. This I deeply confess.

27. Was the point in the banking fraud to channel money to Fox or the

American election? Where was the money going? Just into the pockets of friends of the Pope? Why would the Vatican need to be or think it needed to be involved in something like banking fraud?

[glinda]

28. I thought this was an Onion piece..... seriously? Hahahahahaaaa!

30. George Harrison had it sussed.

It's the liars and spin masters at Fox.
