Reading a CNN piece, the hosts note the book's animals-at-the-manger detail was apparently added in later centuries, and find the Vatican spokesman's line odd: the Pope 'doesn't want people at all to change their traditions' ('you're wrong, but keep it'). They argue the Pope's real aim is to show Jesus as a real historical figure, not a fairy tale, then joke about selling a 'Catholic ordained nativity' for $29.95 with the donkeys removed.
