Abp. Viganò Questions Whether Francis’ Election Was Valid, Urges Next Pope to ‘Stop Referring to Vatican II’

‘Before discussing the next Conclave, it is necessary to shed light on the abdication of Benedict XVI and the question of the manipulation of the 2013 Conclave, which sooner or later ought to be the subject of an official investigation,’ said Archbishop Viganò.

(LifeSiteNews) – In a new interview, former U.S. Papal Nuncio Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò spoke of the need “to shed light on the abdication of Benedict XVI” and called for an “investigation” into potential “manipulation of the 2013 Conclave.”

Archbishop Viganò’s comments came in a wide-ranging interview conducted with veteran Vatican journalist, Aldo Maria Valli, released April 5 and later reprinted on LifeSiteNews. The former nuncio discussed, amongst other topics, the growing “split” between politicians and citizens who recognize a “coup” has been enacted across the world; aspects of the “anti-globalist alliance” for which Viganò previously called; the “corruption” of Joe Biden’s administration; and provided a meditation for the final days of Lent.

'Investigation’ needed into ‘abdication of Benedict XVI’

The most striking elements of the archbishop’s interview were his comments concerning a future conclave and the results of the last, which saw the announcement of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope Francis.

Valli asked the prelate if there was anyone currently in the College of Cardinals “who is credible and authentically Catholic on whom the Cardinals could focus their votes in a conclave in order to effect a total change of tune compared to the current pontificate?”

In response, Viganò observed that some popes are “inflicted” upon the Church rather than being more happily “granted” to Her.

Wow. A lot of time has passed since Pope Francis came about. Is there a viable mechanism in place to determine him as a fraudulently established pope? Also, is there any consensus as to why Benedict removed himself from the office?
