Rochefort's always bugged the hell out of me. Which is why one of the FK4 episodes I wrote is a sequel: I used it to discuss the ethics of his position.
My impression is that we were supposed to think he recognized the killer's voice in the confessional. Though how that would enable him to guess that Magda is the next victim is another matter!
Truth is, there are enormous holes in the plot. It is a very exciting episode, though; and one that, through the flashback with Joan of Arc, gives us insight into Nick's views on vampires and salvation. That is, in itself, a very important part of the series; and I think they made the right decision in tackling it early in Season One.
