1) Does the Vatican seriously not understand how the internet works and, more importantly

2) I really hope that Spokesperson goes immediately to Confession for a clear lie.

This cover up makes the whole thing look worse, honestly. And it is going to do nothing but cause further pain and strife on the issue due to how it's being mismanaged.

Prayers all around. *sigh*

Unless the spokesperson was lied to. If you have your wits about you, it's typically more effective to have someone who believes what they're saying tell the lie.

1) no, note that Roche banned church bulletin boards or parish bulletins from announcing the location of Traditional (extraordinary Form) Masses.

2) good advice, likely to be ignored.

Is it a cover up, lack of knowledge of the internet or internal fighting among the dicasteries and other Vatican departments?

Whatever it is, it continues to show what a mess things are in Rome.

No idea if it was the cause of this particular incident, but nope, I'm pretty sure the Vatican does *not* understand how the internet works
