Peruvian cardinal accused of papal plagiarism
3 hours ago Latin America & Caribbean
One of Peru's main newspapers says it will not publish any more articles by Lima's Roman Catholic archbishop, Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani.
El Comercio made the decision after it was disclosed that Cardinal Cipriani had used the writings of former popes without attributing them.
The newspaper said it had been proven that he had plagiarised Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Paul VI.
The prelate apologised to his followers for not having mentioned his sources.

Last week a Peruvian website, Utero.pe, accused Lima's archbishop of including six paragraphs from the book Communio by Pope Benedict (then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger) and parts of the Ecclesiam suam, an encyclical by Pope Paul VI, in his editorials for El Comercio.
