The insiders aren’t shocked despite their claim.

Sodano is rumored to be behind the Vatileaks as he wanted to get someone else in Bertone’s position before the Pope died.

For all the talk of God leading spirtual paths blah blah blah to picking the Pope it is going to be a war between the Sodano and Bertone factions.

Oh and for those that continue to claim that the Catholic Church is not a political organization....

Read this.

It is one big political soap opera.

Rummy my friend:

Thank you most especially for this Catholic Herald-U.K. link:

VatiLeaks conspiracy against the Pope's most trusted advisor (Bertone)

Very enlightening. It seems our good German Shepherd is surrounded by wolves. Keep your eye on that man Angelo Sodano, who always seems to show a glint of lupine teeth behind his calculated smile.
