According to a Catholic News Agency story, Pope Benedict XVI said that many of the misinterpretations of the Second Vatican Council were caused by the media promoting its own version.

"The world interpreted the council through the eyes of the media instead of seeing the true council of the fathers and their key vision of faith," said Pope Benedict at Paul VI Hall Feb. 14.

"Fifty years later, the strength of the real council has been revealed, and it is our task for the Year of Faith to bring the real Second Vatican Council to life," he told the priests gathered to meet him.
