That’s what some in Rome are saying about Benedict XVI’s nearly four-year run, at least according to London’s Telegraph.
Money quote: “I think there’s a good story to be told about this pope but it just doesn’t get out because of the colossal ineptitude of the Vatican in terms of communications,” said John Allen, a veteran Vatican analyst with National Catholic Reporter.
The piece also quotes our very own Francis X. Rocca, although he’s probably too humble to tell us about it.
