Talk:Francis X. Murphy

[Untitled]
Francis Murphy CsSr did not attend Vatican II as a journalist as is stated in the article at present. He attended as peritus.

from http://www.uscatholic.org/church/2012/09/eight-americans%E2%80%99-eye-witness-reports-vatican-ii "Father Francis X. Murphy, CS.S.R. was a peritus to Bishop Aloysius Winninger of Monterey-Fresno. He famously covered the council for the New Yorker under the pseudonym Xavier Rynne."

His activity as a journalist was covert. His public and official reason for attending Vatican II was as an expert. Peritus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peritus.Tjc (talk) 03:30, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
