Rome — US secret services allegedly eavesdropped on cardinals before the conclave in March to elect a new pope, Italian weekly magazine Panorama claimed Wednesday.
"The National Security Agency wiretapped the pope," the magazine said, accusing the United States of listening in to telephone calls to and from the Vatican, including the accommodation housing cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio before he was elected Pope Francis.
The allegations follow a report on surveillance website Cryptome which said the United States intercepted 46 million telephone calls in Italy in December 2012 and early January 2013.
Among those, "there are apparently also calls from and to the Vatican," Panorama said.
"It is feared that the great American ear continued to tap prelates' conversations up to the eve of the conclave," it said, adding that there were "suspicions that the conversations of the future pope may have been monitored".

With this latest revelation, maybe Catholics will change their voting habits.
The Marxist Muslim trusts nobody.
The best thing they could do for their immortal souls.
Great. Now they can eavesdrop on God to check whether He is planning to fry the planet, or to freeze it.
Most paranoid administration since the Nazi’s and Hitler.
LOL!
What the actual fook?!?
World’s biggest military and political superpower spies on most single influential religious power. News at 11.
Yeah, gotta go after that thug Pope Francis. He’s the leader of the single largest Christian denomination in the world, so of course with the lefties that’s grounds for listening in on his conversations. Can’t let those whacked out, lunatic pro-life Catholic fanatics out of our sight. Geesh. We’re living in the Bizarro World, aren’t we?
