WHO SUPPORTS THE VIGANO DOCUMENT’
Also in this case it should be kept in mind that ecclesiastical titles are to be understood as referring to “Counter-Church” conciliate, not to the Catholic Church. In this case there is division in the Counter-Church. A conservative comes out in defense of Viganò. The attack on the Church is serious, as if she wasn't HOLY, but it is part of the fallibilism typical of council conservatives too. (N.d.R.)

We are publishing as a preview in Italy the text that S. E. Mons. Schneider, auxiliary bishop of Santa Maria in Astana, wrote in support of S.'s document. E. Mons. Carlo Maria Viganò, published on 26 last August in the newspaper The Truth and from the blogs of Marco Tosatti and Aldo Maria Valli.

Reflection on the "testimony" of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò published on 22 August 2018

It is a rare and extremely serious fact in the history of the Church for a bishop to publicly and specifically accuse a reigning Pope. In a recently published paper (il 22 August 2018), Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò assures that Pope Francis has been aware of two facts for five years: that Cardinal Theodor McCarrick had committed sexual crimes with his seminarians and subordinates, and that there were sanctions imposed against him by Pope Benedict XVI.

Archbishop Viganò also confirmed his statement with a sacred oath made in the name of God. There isn't, Therefore, no reasonable and plausible reason to doubt the truthful content of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò's document.

Catholics around the world, the simple faithful, the "little ones", are deeply shocked and scandalized by the serious cases that have recently come to light in which ecclesiastical authorities have covered up and protected clerics who have committed sexual crimes against minors and against their own subordinates. This historical situation, that the Church is experiencing today, requires absolute transparency at all levels of the Church hierarchy and above all, evidently, by the Pope.

It is completely insufficient and unconvincing that church authorities continue to make blanket calls for zero tolerance in cases of sexual abuse by clergy and to stop the cover-up of such cases. Equally insufficient are the formulaic pleas for forgiveness from Church authorities. Such calls for zero tolerance and requests for forgiveness will only become credible if the authorities of the Roman Curia put all their cards on the table, giving names and surnames of all those in the Roman Curia - regardless of their rank and title - who covered cases of sexual abuse of minors and subordinates.

The following conclusions can be drawn from Archbishop Viganò's document:

(1) May the Holy See and the Pope himself begin to uncompromisingly cleanse the Roman Curia and the episcopate of homosexual cliques and networks. (2) May the Pope unequivocally proclaim the Divine doctrine on the gravely sinful nature of homosexual acts. (3) That peremptory and detailed rules be issued that prevent the ordination of men with homosexual tendencies. (4) May the Pope restore the purity and genuineness of the entire Catholic doctrine in teaching and preaching. (5) May they be restored in the Church, through papal and episcopal teaching and through practical norms, Christian asceticism is always valid: fasting exercises, of corporal penance, of self-denial. (6) May the spirit and practice of reparation and atonement for sins committed be restored in the Church. (7) Let a safe and guaranteed process of selecting candidates for the episcopate begin in the Church, that they are manifestly true men of God; would be, therefore, better to leave the dioceses for several years without a bishop than to nominate a candidate who is not a true man of God in prayer, in doctrine and moral life. (8) Let a movement develop in the Church, especially among cardinals, bishops and priests, ready to renounce any compromise and any courtship towards the world.

It should not surprise us if the main international media are linked to the oligarchies, that promote homosexuality and moral depravity, they will begin to denigrate the person of Archbishop Viganò and cover the central points of his document with a veil of silence.

While Luther's heresy and a considerable part of the clergy spread, and especially of the Roman Curia, they were immersed in a profound moral crisis, Pope Hadrian VI addressed the Imperial Diet of Nuremberg in 1522 with surprisingly frank words: “We know that abominable things have been happening in this Holy See for many years, abuses in spiritual things, prevarications, and everything has been perverted and made for the worse. From the head corruption has passed into the members, from the Supreme Pontiffs to the inferiors. All of us, prelates and ecclesiastics we have deviated, nor was there anyone who did well, not even one".

Implacability and transparency in detecting and confessing the evils in the life of the Church will contribute to starting a fruitful process of purification and spiritual and moral renewal. Before condemning others, every clergyman with responsibilities in the Church, regardless of rank and title, you should ask yourself, in the presence of God, whether he himself did not in some way cover up sexual abuse. If he were to be found guilty, should declare it publicly, because the Word of God warns him: “Do not be ashamed to admit your guilt” (Sir 4, 26). Why, like Saint Peter, the first Pope, he wrote, “The time for judgment has come, starting from the house (of the Church) of God" (1 Pietro4, 17).
