Pope condemns relativism, changes mind, wishes he’d taken notes but decided not to because immaterial office has a smaller carbon footprint

Jul 20, ’08 4:07 PM

The NYT has an article that says today (20 July) it was published tomorrow (21 July), reporting that the pope—formerly Herr Ratzinger—will have criticized materialism yesterday:

$NYT: \"Pope criticizes materialism\"$

It seemed like only last week he was denouncing moral relativism too, and that it was reported in the NYT. But, according to the NYT, he didn’t do anything of the sort:

$NYT: \"Pope didn\'t say anything about moral relativism\"$

Google news disagrees, saying that the NYT said that he “assailed moral relativism” on 17 July…

$Google: NYT: \"Pope assails moral relativism\"$

…while giving a link to a report a day later (18 July, http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/18/world/asia/18pope.html). But when you follow it, you find that Mr. Google misread the article or got confused, because the former Herr Ratzinger was really “warning” us about the “environment”:

$NYT: \"Pope warns on environment\"$
