VATICAN CITY, May 11, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Speaking to Vatican Radio on May 3, Richard Rouse, an official at the Pontifical Council for Culture, thanked the world press for its coverage of the sexual abuse scandal. Asked about the Vatican’s handling of the abuse scandal coverage in the press, Rouse said, “I want to take this occasion of World Press Day to thank the press for what they’re doing.

Rouse added, however, that the Vatican must also urge corrections in media coverage where needed. “We’ve also got to say: hang on a second, sometimes things are getting a little out of proportion,” he said.
