'OMFG the pope is Catholic!' Unreal: Is this the most absurdly ignorant Reuters headline ever?

What headline, pray tell?

Twitter users can’t help but gasp for breath at the utter absurdity. “In a nod to conservatives!” Actual beliefs? No, no. That is crazy talk!

So the Pope is STILL Catholic. Thanks @Reuters.

An AR-15 shotgun RT @chuck_dizzle The Pope was holding a bible during his statement, but @reuters incorrectly described it as an AR-15.

Someone better check on the hacks at Reuters now that this next “scoop” has been revealed:

Gasping!

Nailed.
