On the one hand, I would be cautious when hearing “I’m from the vatican and I’m here to help you.”
However, it’s also true that these guys, Vigano and Sartain, didn’t get where they are without knowing how to follow the shifting winds that affect their careers. Perhaps the winds are shifting yet again. Time will tell.
