Onion Beats AP By Months On Vatican Damage Control Of Pope Francis
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/09/onion-beats-ap-damage-control-pope-francis_n_4070773.htmlAlways a leader in religion news, The Onion was way ahead of everyone when it comes to the latest Pope Francis story.
The satirical news website published the headline "Vatican Quickly Performs Damage Control On Pope’s Tolerant Remarks" on July 29th, 2013.
Today an Associated Press story, "Pope Francis' Controversial Remarks Prompt Vatican 'Damage Control'," was published, and it's strikingly similar to the original Onion piece.
Coincidence, or foresight?

God Bless the Onion!

Not quite sure how a site does that. Confident they'll come through.
