Fr. Duncan wonders:
None of the mainstream wire services have touched the 2015 exhibition announcement. You would think Religion News Service would mention it. Vatican Insider has so far ignored it. So has the Catholic Herald. No mention in the Christian Post. And isn’t this just the sort of story that the Telegraph, Guardian and Huffington Post love to opine about.
The calm before the storm? It doesn’t feel that way.
This is still 2013.
I respectfully suggest that in order to attract international media attention, a little more is required than an in-house announcement, exclusively in Italian, on a Piedmontese Santa Sindone web-site. Is it possible that some skills in releasing Press announcements may need some further development by the Turinese ecclesial authorities?
