Swedish public television (SVT) mistakenly published an obituary for Pope John Paul II on its website, where it remained for more than five hours before it was taken down, the broadcasting company said on Friday.Source.
"This was a very unfortunate mistake," SVT spokesperson Johanna Niemi said.
An SVT employee had been working on the pope's obituary in advance when he mistakenly hit a button that posted the text on the website, Niemi said.
Under a picture of the ailing pontiff in an audience with the Swedish king and queen, the website stated: "Pope John Paul has died".
This site is dedicated to promoting and defending the Catholic Faith, in union with Christ and His Church and in union with the authentic Holy Father, the faithful successor of St. Peter.
