I do not know how many of you have followed what is happening to Archbishop Viganò, but he is the former Nuncio (meaning ambassador) of the Vatican to the United States. He has been outspoken in his criticism of Pope Francis, whom he calls by his given name of Bergoglio. Part of his criticism has been the Pope's handling of the sexual assaults and encouragement of the gay mafia by Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. Victoria White Berger at the American Thinker brings us the story at Archbishop Vigano` faces off with the Pope.
As some Catholics know, Archbishop Viganò is a hero in the eyes of many who do not enjoy the spectacle of Pope Francis’ continual and seemingly ongoing reversal of Catholic teaching and law. The hyperpolitical, leftist Pope has been, by his own words, engaged in irreversibly (he hopes) and increasingly modifying (according to his own predilections) the Catholic Church since he took papal office. Sound like anybody you know?
Viganò has been called back to the Vatican to face trial and excommunication. He has done nothing but cling to classic Church teaching. What he is really being tried for is for his vocal criticism of the Pope, who deserves all that Viganò has said and written about him. In truth, it used to be a joke asking if the Pope is Catholic. Today it is a serious question. And judging by Martin Luther's trial on similar grounds, I would say that justice here will not be served. Pray for Archbishop Viganò
