The Catholic Church of England said Saturday it has contacted the Holy
See to ask if the papal knighthood awarded to late television star Jimmy
Savile could be posthumously removed following sexual abuse
allegations.
That was the initial story. The add-on is even better:
LONDON (AP) — The Vatican says it cannot rescind the papal knighthood
awarded to television star Jimmy Savile, who emerged as an alleged child
sex predator after his death.
Couldn't happen to a nicer church. Irony lives in the Vatican. It's an essential part of its nature.
