Unknown cardinal breaks secrecy, describes conclave : Catholic World News


Breaking his oath of secrecy, a member of the College of Cardinals has given a detailed description of the conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI, an Italian television network has reported.



In defense of CWN, there was no longer a secret to protect. Only "Limes" is culpable for offering to publish it first. What I take away from this is that there is (1) at least one cardinal who cannot be trusted by his brother cardinals and (2) this anonymous coward cardinal must have maximim trust in "Limes" that his anonymity can and will be protected.


What benefit does the Cardinal obtain from this? What other secrets would he be willing to give up and for what price?
