Editor’s Note: If you are a reader of FromRome.Info, you know that with my poor eyesight and even poorer skills at detecting typographic errors, this electronic journal which has no paid employes, often publishes articles in which there are typographical errors. Under such circumstances that is to be expected.
But for Il Messaggero, a multi million dollar newspaper, to make such a mistake is astounding. And to do it in a headline, remarkable. And to do it in perhaps their top story of the day, extraordinary.
The error occurs in the above article, which I have screen shot for posterity sake. There, the lead to the article says that Pope Francis has an “inferzione”, a word which does not exist in the Italian Language, but is obviously a typographical error for “infezione”, that is, an infection.
Seeing that Il Messaggero just scolded the entire world on Wednesday for having the shame to speculate about Pope Francis’ death or resignation, or even to think about the news deficiency about the Pope’s hospitalization, and seeing that the next day they began to publish gossip and rumor articles behind a paywall, I find the typographical error in a headline on Friday Night, the cherry on top of the cake.
If you respect the MSM for lying to you all through the Scamdemic and through much of the post-war period, then you will fault me for gloating over a minor error, when I am guilty of worse.
But if you despise liars more than sloppy typographers, as any sane Christian should, then you will join with me in this little chuckle.
To err is human but there are errors that are horrors.

Incredible. I take it they actually use proof readers?
Maybe some copy editor is just sick and tired of all this smooching about the Pope’s Health and wishes he either recover, shut up or drop dead.
Or more likely, the copy editor’s job was cut, because it was funded by USAID! hehe.
Was the editor of The Messenger sending someone or some group a coded message, perhaps?
Yes, “we don’t care”, I think.
