In this topsy turvy world in which we live, there are so few things of which we can be sure. But there is one truth which endures: if someone tells you, “The Vatican says,” then it probably doesn’t. And what do they mean, “The Vatican,” anyway? And what do they mean, “says?”
The phrase “the Vatican says” doesn’t really mean anything, but it’s used all the time. In her blog Simcha Fisher gives five meanings that could be given to the these words.
