The Vatican reported yesterday it experienced excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the church’s former ambassador to the United States, after discovering him guilty of schism for refusing to understand the authority of Pope Francis and the liberal reforms enacted soon after the 2nd Vatican Council in the sixties. Via the New York Occasions:
Archbishop Viganò has emerged as a single of the most unbridled conservative critics of Francis, contacting him in general public statements a “false prophet” and a “servant of Satan,” even though embracing correct-wing conspiracy theories and lauding previous President Donald J. Trump.
Although excommunicated, Archbishop Viganò will be equipped to preserve his title, but he will not be authorized to rejoice Mass, acquire or administer sacraments and hold formal positions in just the church’s hierarchy.
Writing on X, previously Twitter, on Friday, Archbishop Viganò revealed the full text of the conclusion versus him by the Vatican’s doctrinal place of work, which warned that he risked other punishments, including expulsion from the Roman Catholic priesthood. He named on his supporters to talk out.
The choice cited much more than a dozen situations in which Archbishop Viganò had criticized or repudiated Francis or challenged the reforms of the Next Vatican Council, which the archbishop a short while ago explained in a put up on a web site for his foundation as an “ideological, theological, moral and liturgical most cancers.”
Dear Christians & Catholics, if you consider you are in a holy war, you may possibly be ideal, but you’re on the dark facet of the Power.
Mike Flynn & Carlo Vigano are godless Russian puppets who are making use of faith as a way to infiltrate your head.
You could almost say they are Satanic. https://t.co/7tHndIAFGf pic.twitter.com/q4UQvNRtKC

MAGA Archbishop Vigano (a near ally of Flynn & Bannon) fashioned the Global Movement of Russophiles w/ Sergei Lavrov who has hosted senior members of Hamas in Moscow on at least 5 events since 2020. Keep in mind how Trump leaked Israeli intelligence to Lavrov in 2017? Thread https://t.co/rtGG56AQdt

Abp. Viganò’s excommunication is “latae sententiae”, meaning that it is not Pope Francis or the Decastry but the application of the regulation that excommunicates him. In truth, Viganò has excommunicated himself by violating Canon Regulation.
