Retraction (Note: this will remain on top of subsequent posts, until 11 GMT +2 PM tonight, as likely with future retractions!)

An article based on an article in Reuters, in which: it was stated that, via a Jesuit publication, a rabbi attacked the current pope, has been corrected, it excluded important facts, and had typing errors, and considered accusations used as an excuse to withdraw from dialogue, as though true, without adequate research. We apologize for this!

This Article is corrected:Italian Rabbi Accuses Pope and some Discussions Stop
http://southafricancatholic.blogspot.com/2009/01/italian-rabbi-accuses-pope-and.html (Title also altered)

A second article, which has had several errors, whereby typing errors: which changed meaning radically, are now taken out of it: is:

Paris, France; EU; Europe; Eurasia: Catholics stand up for their Jewish compatriots
http://southafricancatholic.blogspot.com/2009/01/paris-france-eu-europe-eurasia.html

It seems today is one of those retraction days: we apologize for both. As always: we do give retractions for errors. We also: often try to check articles before hand, but on discovering errors, we alter them!

Retraction by Marc Aupiais (Editor)

While in the link, we gave: it was noted that those children killed: were likely human shields: in the article:

(article where unintentional bias was cleared up: http://southafricancatholic.blogspot.com/2009/01/nowhere-safe-in-gaza-as-israel-hit.html : we assure you, it was an unintentional error, but also: that we always inform you, when we are incorrect in such matters)


We mentioned that there were large Palestinian casualties. Also, until the international media is allowed in: due to the complete bias of all forces on the ground. It is still impossible to know the situation. We have corrected the error, and apologies for it. Our commitment to not be sensationalist: remains. We are determined to give accurate, contextual comment; and will continue to retract whenever we make errors. For smaller errors: retractions: please either subscribe, or browse the archive of our Google group (click on subscribe, and don't subscribe: simply view the group)).

Again: we sincerely apologize.

Our sympathies also: to the Israeli Infant, who died in a rocket attack, and our apologies: for missing the detail: as I assume this was the case. As per usual, we are committed to South Africa's news and media ideals: of accuracy, fairness, and representing those views which matter in showing context, and to accuracy.

Retraction

In an article: http://southafricancatholic.blogspot.com/2008/12/israel-gathers-tanks-at-border-of.html

I stated that Hamas was the same organization that held Lebanon at knife point: this is incorrect: the correct phrase is: same kind of organization. I am assuming it was a slip of the tongue, the two groups being so similar, and sounding almost the same: and an accidental assumption: in any case: for journalistic integrity: this is important enough to issue a retraction.

We Apologize for the error in our facts. Remember, you can always inform us of any factual errors: our main interest in in truth, and reality.

If you subscribe, you should receive emails on smaller retractions, when they are made: such as for spelling errors, etc.
