VATICAN COMMUNICATIONS CHIEF HAS RESIGNED!

UPDATED: Vatican communications chief quits

The Vatican’s communications chief resigned Wednesday amid a controversy over the alleged manipulation of a letter written by retired pope Benedict XVI about his successor Pope Francis.

Monsignor Dario Vigano — who has carried out sweeping reforms of the Vatican’s media operations — stepped down over the row that has become known as “lettergate”.

The 55-year-old was accused of manipulating a private letter by Benedict XVI to help publicize part of the celebrations marking Francis’ five years as pope.
