Abp. Viganò Asks Catholics to Take Cancelled Priests Into Their Own Homes

In a new letter, the former Papal Nuncio to the United States condemned vaccine mandates for priests and called upon the faithful for assistance.

ROME, Italy (LifeSiteNews) — Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has asked Catholics to support cancelled priests by taking them into their own homes.

In a new letter, released Sunday, the archbishop suggested the deeply personal measure as a way to ensure that the priests are able to say Mass for the faithful and that the faithful receive their “spiritual assistance.”

“The Catholic faithful [should] open their homes to priests persecuted by the tyranny of the bishops allied to globalism, making them available for the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,” Viganò wrote.

“Gathered around these domestic altars, the refractory communities will thus be able to continue to render due worship to the Holy Trinity and to benefit from the spiritual assistance of their ministers.”

The former Papal Nuncio to the United States did not mince words as he conveyed his dismay that Catholic priests in American dioceses are being forced to choose between not taking COVID-19 jabs and their vocations as priests. Archbishop Viganò, known for his strong and forthright pronouncements, called such mandates and penalties for priests “sacrilegious and illegitimate.” He also bluntly criticized Pope Francis for his role in promoting the COVID-19 inoculations, saying that it was an “unprecedented betrayal.”

“The subservience of the Bergoglian Hierarchy to the pandemic farce and the imposition of the so-called vaccination has transformed the Ministers of God into pandemic gurus, the Bishops into salesmen of experimental serum and the entire ecclesial body into the victim of mass experimentation,” Viganò stated.

The Underground Church. This is something I never thought I’d see when I became Catholic.

Already closing parish’s because of priest shortage. I think it’s a bluff, unless they planned on closing a slew of them.

Vigano needs to be the next Pope.

The Catholic Church is in the hands of the anti-Christ right now.

We named the baby we just lost ‘Carlo’ in this future saint’s honor. Maranantha!

Gee, the rest of us who get cancelled just have to suck it up and get another job or try to survive as best we can.
