Like many of us here, I have been following the open letters written by Archbishop Vigano. I mentioned him recently in an email to someone who says she is a conservative...however, I got the following reply from her, and frankly I'm baffled by what she had to say. What do you all think?
"Vigano is a disgrace to not only the church but also humanity. He lied to the courts. He lied to the pope. He is a thief and an abuser. I'm just glad the courts nailed his little ass."
WTF is she talking about?
All I can say is that she is attributing McCarrick's behavior to Vigano.
Vigano was the one who called out McCarrick in a letter to the Pope.
That was 2006, and nothing was done.
Vigano has done nothing wrong. He retired before he became outspoken, so he isn't even "guilty" of leading away a flock, which is the typical grounds for punishment.
In reality, he's done everything right and in its proper procedure but has been vilified for bringing up the Church's dirty laundry.
This was my thought as well. I think Vigano represents the true church, rather than the corruption that can be found (like in any institution) in other areas of the church. Hard to know, of course.
Yes this is an accurate telling.
Nothing I can find. But he has ticked off a LOT of higher ups in the Clergy. A priest accused him of suppressing allegations of sexual misconduct against Archbishop John Clayton Nienstedt, but he denied doing so. maybe thats some of it.
read this, explains how Benedict may have a plan for undoing Frankie's power grab. https://www.marcotosatti.com/2021/04/11/cionci-the-possible-reconstruction-of-benedict-xvis-plan-b/
Yes I have some info on the situation - essentially ABP Vigano was promoted to be an auditor of the Vatican Bank and uncovered many millions of questionable funds transferred, which he raised the alarm about. After which he was quickly sent away to the US to become the Apolistic Nuncio in the US. He knew how shady McCarrick was how he was covering up all this homosexual/pedo activity in his diocese, and upon his first meeting with Francis the pope's first question was 'what do you think of mccarrick' Vigano answered truthfully 'I think he is a dishonest man and a dangerous snake' (that's my rough translation) and ever since then he was sent away from rome, lost his nuncio to the us. Meanwhile McCarrick was promoted and brought into Francis inner circle.
He is basically a truth-teller who wouldn't lie to keep his job, and was 'made an example of'. He's a badass and I'd follow him to the end of the earth.

I’ve been following the archbishop as well, and haven’t a clue what she’s talking about. I would be curious to hear her response should you ask for her sources.

Controversy surrounding family estate
On 15 November 2018, it was revealed that a civil court in Milan, Italy had issued a ruling in October 2018 which ordered Viganò to surrender 1.8 million euro of inheritance, plus interest and legal fees, to his brother Lorenzo Viganò.[130][131][132] He had been managing his brother's inheritance since their father's death in 1961 and was ordered to pay back his brother Lorenzo, a priest of the Italian Diocese of Pavia who has resided in Chicago, and whom he has also long been on bad terms with,[130][131][132] compensation for the money which he used allegedly from Lorenzo's share in the inheritance, along with interest and legal fees.[130][131][132] The money which Lorenzo received accounted for half of what Viganò collected from the inheritance.[130][132] Lorenzo had previously filed a lawsuit against Viganò in 2010 as well,[132] but later dropped his first case in 2014 after Viganò agreed to donate $180,000 to a children's hospital in Tanzania where a daughter of their sister Rosanna Viganò was working,[131] and also return to Rosanna 8,600 euro ($11,000) used in 1983 in order to buy an apartment.[131][132]
Viganò's critics allege he sought to use Lorenzo's health problems, which resulted from a stroke, as a reason to avoid taking the position as nuncio to the United States, saying that he needed to care for his brother, whereas the real reason was that Viganò was seeking to obtain better access to the family's possessions, which he would get by remaining in Rome.[130]
Viganò denied the accusations. His supporters said they were a smear campaign designed to discredit him.[133][134] The other siblings of the archbishop have come forward in a press release to support him in the case against their brother Lorenzo.[135][136]
Or maybe this priest's bad behavior... https://www.nypost.com/2017/07/05/vatican-cops-bust-drug-fueled-gay-orgy-at-cardinals-apartment/
Ask her to elaborate, then drop the bomb she is spreading slander on the wrong guy.
Your friend is a total ass !!!! She thinks the pope is a good guy ???? Why don’t you ask your idiot friend to explain herself !!!!
I have done so... no reply yet.
Suggest she delve into the current 'pope' a bit more; watched this video yesterday. A lot of info on pope and his history. Personally, I have immense respect for Vigano and his letters call for prayer and opposed to the 'pope'
https://www.bitchute.com/video/yljHDzJtzV0T/ THE MYSTERY BEHIND THE RESIGNATION OF POPE BENEDICT XVI BY BROTHER ALEXIS BUGNOLO
just watched that too an excellent video
Or maybe this one... https://nypost.com/2017/06/28/high-ranking-vatican-cardinal-charged-with-sex-offenses-in-australia/
A LOT of bad behavior from people telling other people how to live.
most if not all of these have been among 'liberal' priests
Yep. Many tied to Pope Francis.
Maybe she was thinking about the bling bishop? https://www.dw.com/en/the-story-of-the-bling-bishop/a-17167468
Clearly knows more than most. He is a nogoodnik ponce in fancy dress wanting to be the next poop. The whole lot of them are abominable..
