It is so important that every single news venue has now printed the corrected sentence.
You have NO idea what you are talking about. How would you know that every single news venue has now printed the corrected sentence? Have you researched every single news venue? I don't think so since you've missed CNN.

The point is that the Pope's statement is absurd on its face and, in his typical fashion, he offers no explanation to clear the ambiguity and he does it throughout the interview.

I find it very interesting that you would choose this exact sentence from the interview because I believe it has been edited.
Yours is a distincition without a difference. Your revision means exactly the same as what is printed.
Nevertheless, contact CBS and tell them that you believe their article has been edited. Demand an apology and a retraction. Tell them who you are and I'm sure they will be …More
