Every Rome-based priest I know made this joke about Cantalamessa in real time ("He's still not done preaching"). It's not a scoop or a leak. It's the journalistic equivalent of saying that you think the vote was delayed because a chicken was crossing the road.
I’m hearing that Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa, who was slated to give the cardinals their pep talk after the extra omnes, went on for 50 minutes rather than his allotted 15.
