Conservative Bergoglians challenge Vigano & apparently McCarrick victims like James Grein who said: "Those of us who knew what was behind the [McCarrick] mask... were too afraid to [speak out] because he would kill us, literally."

(LifeSiteNews) — In exclusive comments to LifeSiteNews, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò said “for the moment I don’t intend to elaborate further,” when asked about his Wednesday social media post in which he accused Pope Francis of committing the “same abuses” as the notorious, now-laicized Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. 

As reported by LifeSiteNews, on Wednesday, former U.S. apostolic nuncio Viganò published a post on X, formerly Twitter, in which he accused Francis of having committed the “same abuses” as McCarrick when Francis was serving as the Master of Novices of the Society of Jesus in Argentina. 

When asked to elaborate on these comments, Viganò told LifeSiteNews that “for the moment I don’t intend to elaborate further.”

[...]

Eric Sammons, Editor-in-Chief of Crisis Magazine, reacted to Viganò’s post, saying, “[t]o accuse the pope of sexually abusing seminarians without proof [other than his anonymous source] is as despicable as the Jesuit priest saying that John Henry Newman was gay.”

“If you have proof, your Excellency, bring it forward. Otherwise, keep your mouth shut,” Sammons concluded. [https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/exclusive-archbishop-vigano-wont-elaborate-further-for-now-on-pope-francis-abuse-accusations/]


You should not be tweeting this out in a way that implies that Vigano has produced a shred of evidence for his claim [other than his anonymous source]. He hasn’t.

"My [anonymous] source does not belong to any clerical faction and his assessments of people tend to be conspicuously gentle. It’s been interesting to watch how, during our meetings in Rome over the past five years, his opinion of Francis has hardened to the point where he unhesitatingly describes him as a nasty man." - Damian Thompson [https://unherd.com/2024/04/the-scandals-haunting-pope-francis/]

"Those of us who knew what was behind the [McCarrick] mask... were too afraid to [speak out] because he would kill us, literally" - McCarrick victim James Grein (who was once an anonymous source in the New York Times) speaking to Taylor Marshall on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvYs6fo-HiE: 47:58-48:10]

The covert conservative Bergoglians challenged Archbishop Vigano:

"On the basis of what evidence do you accuse Pope Francis of McCarrick-like behavior?  Produce it, or keep your mouth shut!"

But Archbishop Vigano retorted, "Tell me first--is Bergoglio a legitimate successor of the Apostle Peter, or not?"

So Thompson, Sammons, Marshall and Stine conferred amongst themselves, reflecting, "If we say the Argentinian is the Pope, Archbishop Vigano will demand to know how we can object to blessings for certain unions, and the inclusion of 'Amoris laetitia' in the AAS.  But if we say Bergoglio is not really the Pope, we might lose all our hard-earned 'likes'."

So they answered the Archbishop: "We do not know."

And according to Lifesite News, the covert conservative Bergoglians received the reply, "Then neither will I tell you on the basis of what evidence I accuse Bergoglio of McCarrick-like behavior."

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis’s Amoris Laetitia.

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.

Francis Notes:

– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:

“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

The AAS guidelines explicitly allows “sexually active adulterous couples facing ‘complex circumstances’ to ‘access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'”

–  On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:

“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”

– On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:

“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.

What is needed right now to save America from those who would destroy our God given rights is to pray at home or in church and if called to even go to outdoor prayer rallies in every town and city across the United States for God to pour out His grace on our country to save us from those who would use a Reichstag Fire-like incident to destroy our civil liberties.

If Francis is a Heretic, What should Canonically happen to him?

Did Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (the future Pope Benedict XVI) say that Francis is a heretic ?   On June 3, 2003 the then Cardinal Ratzinge r (and future Pope Benedict) , head of the Congregation for the Faith, said that the endorsement of  " homosex civil unions" was against Catholic teaching, that is heterodoxy : "Those who would move from tolerance to the legitimatization of specific rights for cohabiting homosexual persons need to be reminded that the approval or legalization of evil is something far different from the toleration of evil... The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behavior or to legal recognition of homosexual unions ." (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Considerations Regarding Proposals to give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons," June 3, 2003) Gloria.tv reported: " Francis made on October 21 his latest declaration in sup...

A Hour which will Live in Infamy: 10:01pm November 3, 2020

10:01pm November 3, 2020, a hour which will live in infamy, the United States of America presidential electoral integrity was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the forces of the Democrat Machine and some corrupt collaborators within the Republican Party. It will be recorded that "under the pretense of COVID, executive branch officials across a number of key battleground states violated election procedures passed by the legislative branches of those states in a number of ways that opened up the process to fraud on a massive scale, never before seen in the history of this country" which makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks before. During the time before and after the attack the Democrat Machine and its corrupt collaborators in the Media have deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.  The attack on United States has caused severe damage to the Ameri...

Could Francis be an Antipope even though the Majority of Cardinals claim he is Pope?

Is it possible for someone to be an antipope even though the majority of cardinals claim he is pope? The case of Antipope Anacletus II proves that it is possible for a majority of cardinals to claim a man is pope while he, in reality, is an antipope. In 1130, a majority of cardinals voted for Cardinal Peter Pierleone to be pope. He called himself Anacletus II. He was proclaimed pope and ruled Rome for eight years by vote and consent of a absolute majority of the cardinals despite the fact he was a antipope. In 1130, just prior to the election of antipope Anacletus, a small minority of cardinals elected the real pope: Pope Innocent II. How is this possible? St. Bernard said "the 'sanior pars' (the wiser portion)... declared in favor of Innocent II. By this he probably meant a majority of the cardinal-bishops." (St. Bernard of Clairvaux by Leon Christiani, Page 72) Again, how is this possible when the absolute majority of cardinals voted for A...
