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?
She might be thinking about this:

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]
