An Italian newspaper on Sunday quoted Pope Francis as saying that two percent — or 1 in 50 — Roman Catholic priests are pedophiles, but the Vatican quickly responded with a statement that said the pontiff was misquoted. Church officials also said the journalist who wrote the story for La Repubblica has a history of not taking notes during interviews. The article came from an hour-long interview between Francis and the newspaper's founder, Eugenio Scalfari, a 90-year-old atheist who has met with other popes in the past.
