Papal Notes - Spying on the "Holy Father" in Rome?

Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 23:24

"The National Security Agency spied on the future Pope Francis before and during the Vatican conclave at which he was chosen to succeed Benedict XVI, ... The American spy agency monitored telephone calls made to and from the residence in Rome where the then Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio stayed during the conclave...

The information gleaned was then reportedly divided into four categories —

“leadership intentions”,

 

“threats to financial system”,

 

“foreign policy objectives” and

 

“human rights”.

 

 

Brent Hardt, the embassy’s charge d’affaires, discussed the future Pope as one of 16 possible candidates, noting that he “has been reluctant to accept honours or hold high office and commutes to work on a bus.”
The American embassy to the Holy See referred queries to the State Department in Washington.
Separately, reports claimed on Wednesday that the NSA secretly tapped into the main communications links that connect Yahoo and Google data centres around the world, enabling it to collect information from hundreds of millions of user accounts.
The NSA’s “acquisitions directorate” sends millions of records every day from Yahoo and Google networks to data warehouses at the agency’s headquarters at Fort Meade in Maryland, according to The Washington Post." TheTelegraph.UK
