Journalism's Greatest Hits: Pope Hearts Oprah Edition

In the article "Britain Reopens the Madeleine McCann Case," (You can read it here: http://nyti.ms/ILiv1H) we learn a few things about her parents, who have been incredibly diligent since their daughter disappeared. But we also learn about how the Pope has done some extraordinary things on their behalf. This is from the article's second-to-last paragraph:

Since their daughter’s disappearance they have traveled to the Vatican for an audience with Pope Benedict XVI, who blessed a photograph of Madeleine, published a book and even appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

I really think I'd have heard about that episode of Oprah. Must have been after she was off network TV. Nice work, newspaper of record!
