Time awarding Snowden POY would them look out of the loop. That seems to be the logiical PR explanation. Vatican is really a diminished institution, while the NSA is ascendent. This just impugns the relevance of Time mag's editorial, in a way...which is not flattering.

Interesting comparison. The NSA will never need the Inquisition to assert its power though, they already know. Knowledge is power.

What do you mean by "never need the Inquisition"? The CIA/DIA/NSA Inquisition has been happening 24x7 for years now; we just haven't been privy to it.
