You can count on any story in it to be wrong. It's The Onion except undeliberate and without the comedy.

It's quite a bit different when the The Guardian makes an error like that.

As an Atheist, I'll say I'm somewhat encouraged by Francis, and now that the incompetent reporting has been uncovered, his public profile becomes more consistent with the man who's pushing the church to serve the poor.

I didn't feel this way with Benedict. Francis is a definite improvement.
