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?
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.
