Report says US tapped cardinals’ phones ahead of conclave

The National Security Agency spied on cardinals as they prepared to select the new pope -- perhaps including even Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, who emerged from last spring’s conclave as Pope Francis, news magazine Panorama reported. The same NSA eavesdropping program that angered leaders in Germany, France, Spain and Mexico also listened in on calls to and from the Vatican, including the phones in the Santa Marta guesthouse that housed Bergoglio and the rest of the College of Cardinals.
