Pentin’s ‘Coup of the Century’
Excuse us for some after-the-fact crowing, but we think our Rome correspondent Edward Pentin deserves it.
Edward is the Vatican reporter who broke the news of Archbishop Timothy Dolan’s appointment as the new Archbishop of New York.
Here’s what Whispers in the Loggia’s Rocco Palmo — himself no slouch as a Vaticanista — had to say today about Edward’s major scoop in a post about some other Vatican news Edward has reported on for Newsmax:
“Last time we heard from Edward Pentin, the Rome correspondent for the National Catholic Register scored the church-beat’s Coup of the Century, tipping Tim Dolan for New York nearly a full month in advance, more than a fortnight before the Appointed One himself formally heard the news.”
