ROME, APRIL 4, 2011 (Zenit.org).- A jesting blogger caused a media stir April 1 by posting a story titled «John Paul II’s Beatification Postponed Indefinitely. Late Pontiff’s Postulator Replaced; Miracle Questioned.»
The blogger used graphics from ZENIT, such that the article appeared authentic, though it concluded with «Just Kidding. You have been had,» with a link to the blog.
Given the subsequent circulation of this «news,» ZENIT wishes to confirm that it has not published this article and that ZENIT has no relationship whatsoever with the Web site that has circulated it.
