Recently in the media, including NFTU, there is the accusation that Pope Benedict has stated in his new book that there were neither animals (ox and ass) at Christ's birth nor angels singing on high.
Dr. Clarke at First Things declares that an inaccurate translation of the Italian and lack of theological training is at fault.

Dr. Clarke demonstrates that the first news source to cite Pope Benedict XV's book is the UK's Daily Mail, which is known for its inaccuracies. Rather than verify, CNN and the New York TImes quickly echoed the mistakes made in the Daily Mail and in UK's Telegraph.
Sloppy journalism? This is not the first time that CNN and the New York Times have conveniently erred showing their liberal and anti-Christian bias.
