Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, who served at the papal nuncio (that is, Vatican ambassador) to the United States from 2011-2016, has dropped an atomic bomb on Francis’s papacy, charging that “corruption has reached the very top of the Church’s hierarchy.”
In a lengthy statement, Vigano says that Francis has known for years about Cardinal Theodore McCarrick’s sexual abuse, but brought him into the pontifical inner circle anyway, and sent him around the world on papal missions.
In fact, says Vigano, the Roman curia has known about McCarrick since the year 2000, but McCarrick was protected by gay supporters honeycombed throughout the Vatican. Pope Benedict XVI ordered McCarrick out of public ministry in 2009 or 2010, but McCarrick, abetted by powerful gay allies in the Curia, defied Benedict.
Vigano demands the resignation of Pope Francis, writing:
At the Angelus on Sunday, August 12, 2018 Pope Francis said these words: “Everyone is guilty for the good he could have done and did not do … If we do not oppose evil, we tacitly feed it. We need to intervene where evil is spreading; for evil spreads where daring Christians who oppose evil with good are lacking.”
If this is rightly to be considered a serious moral responsibility for every believer, how much graver is it for the Church’s supreme pastor, who in the case of McCarrick not only did not oppose evil but associated himself in doing evil with someone he knew to be deeply corrupt. He followed the advice of someone he knew well to be a pervert, thus multiplying exponentially with his supreme authority the evil done by McCarrick. And how many other evil pastors is Francis still continuing to prop up in their active destruction of the Church!
Francis is abdicating the mandate which Christ gave to Peter to confirm the brethren. Indeed, by his action he has divided them, led them into error, and encouraged the wolves to continue to tear apart the sheep of Christ’s flock.In this extremely dramatic moment for the universal Church, he must acknowledge his mistakes and, in keeping with the proclaimed principle of zero tolerance, Pope Francis must be the first to set a good example for cardinals and bishops who covered up McCarrick’s abuses and resign along with all of them.
I have posted the entire text below. I’ve read it twice now, and I’m telling you, this story is as big as it gets.
Vigano worked in the Curia before being moved to Washington by then Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone over his own objections. Vigano believed he was being punished by Bertone for informing Pope Benedict of rampant corruption in the Curia. With this statement today, Vigano declares open warfare at the highest levels of the Roman Catholic Church.

Vigano’s testimony gives weight to the theory that Benedict XVI resigned because he knew the lavender mafia in the Curia held all the cards, and that he couldn’t do anything. When the leader of the SSPX urged him to reform the Church, Benedict supposedly pointed to the entrance to his office, and said, “My authority ends at that door.” (I posted something about that here.)
“The main reason why I am revealing this news now is because of the tragic situation of the Church, which can be repaired only by the full truth, just as she has been gravely injured by the abuses and the coverups. I do this to stop the suffering of the victims and to prevent new victims and protect the Church: only the truth can make her free.”
It’s clear now: in the Vatican, this is civil war.

So mcCarrick raped seminarians.
If the Pope knew about McCarrick’s behavior, should he resign?
Yes (50%)
No (40%)
I’m not sure (10%)
if this is true, holiness of the pope has been destroyed.
I can’t believe 40% are saying NO, that he shouldn’t resign.
The 10% I don’t know folks always get me, on any survey. Seriously?
Maybe after a few years in, Benedict knew this day would come, and didn’t wish to be Pope when it did.
Father Malachi Martin said the evil in the Vatican was much worse than most imaagined
An honorable, holy man would resign to begin healing and true reform. The next month will be a definitive time. Pope Francis will have to make a decision. What now exists within the Church is not holy.
It’s no big secret that the homosexual/pedophile mafia engineered Bennie’s departure and installed Frankie. Not to mention that anyone who is not a member of the homosexual/pedophile mafia at the Vatican is also being nudged out, with the replacement always being part of the H/P mafia. Does anyone really believe that the church is going to reform? We almost lost America, but the election of Donald Trump stopped that in its tracks. There is no saving the catholic church because there is no mechanism in place for the laity to remove a pope and all the minions he has installed. There will be flying unicorns and ice skating in Hell before the homosexual/pedophile mafia change their ways.
So the solution is to throw up your hands, give up and surrender? Not the way it happened. The homosexual/pedophile mafia made Bennie an offer he couldn't refuse. It's like the worst kept secret in Rome.
Frankie is nothing more than a lowlife scumbag Marxist thug. He made his decision a long time ago.
I never really understood why my beloved Benedict retired.
And here you had the answer all along. What was the deal the gay mafia made with Benedict and why and how were they able to do so?
“Father Malachi Martin said the evil in the Vatican was much worse than most imagined”
Yes, he did. I heard this the night he said it:
