I used to like the guy, thinking he was sincere but wrong.
Well, after teh first two rounds of voting, he announced (as if it were fact) that the early vote had been split between Parolin and Erdo. Then LAST NIGHT, he said, again announcing it as if it were just regular news, that Prevost had emerged as the front-runner.
HOW DID HE KNOW THIS? Absolutely nobody was expecting this guy to win, yet Westen correctly called that Prevost had emerged.
Either he had a mole within the Conclave or else he had the script ahead of time ... such as the BBC with Building 7.
People have said that he's associated with Opus Judei. Do we have any concrete details about that? This requires some investigation.
Westen has been a vatican journalist for decades, of course he had inside information, it's a tool of his craft, all good journalists get the inside dope early, if you actually work at your trade.
Man, you are really reaching sometimes.
