As some Catholics know, Archbishop Viganò is a hero in the eyes of many who do not enjoy the spectacle of Pope Francis’ continual and seemingly ongoing reversal of Catholic teaching and law. The hyperpolitical, leftist Pope has been, by his own words, engaged in irreversibly (he hopes) and increasingly modifying (according to his own predilections) the Catholic Church since he took papal office. Sound like anybody you know?
Viganò has been consistently faithful to Canon Law and to the established teachings of the Church, his warnings falling against a wall of thunderous silence from most of the Western bishops (some in America have supported him) and various dogbodies who tend to the administrative bidding of the Vatican rather than to follow the clear teachings of Jesus and his apostolic instructions.
Viganò’s positions are therefore judged by Pope Francis and his like as those of a conservative and faithful priest -- not a globalist or environmentalist or an advocate of a post-national, socialist world.
Today, Viganò has been summoned to Rome with the threat of excommunication:
“Rome -- June 20, 2024
The disgraced former papal nuncio to the United States, Italian Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, announced that he has been charged with schism by the Vatican's doctrinal office, after a six-year rogue period in which he called for Pope Francis to resign and labeled him a "false prophet."
On June 20, the archbishop posted on his own website a two-page decree from the Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith ordering him to appear for a trial regarding "public statements that show a denial of points necessary for the preservation of communion with the Catholic Church."
The decree is dated June 11 and is signed by Msgr. John Kennedy, secretary of the doctrinal office's disciplinary section,

From Archbishop Viganò in his Easter 2024 message:
[EXCERPT]
“Christians are progressively banished from civil society and considered a threat to the subversive project of the New World Order, while a minority of the vicious and perverted claim to erect their deviations as the universal norm. Here is the “visibility” of Biden and the woke ideology, celebrating a macabre mad dance to the abyss.”
I read elsewhere that he was being summoned to Rome TO be excommunicated.
Does one need to be PERSONALY present in Rome to be excommunicated?
Sentence first-verdict afterwards.
I didn’t think so, but then again I am Lutheran.
Viganò is the sword of Christ.
Jorge Bergoglio is the toilet seat of Satan.
Frank is the usurper prophesied about by the saints.
RE: I didn’t think so, but then again I am Lutheran.
Well, as a Lutheran, you might remember that on January 3, 1521, Pope Leo X issued a papal bull, “Decet Romanum Pontificem,” officially excommunicating Martin Luther from the Catholic Church. This document originated from Rome. Luther was NOT in Rome when the bull was issued.
No, one does not need to go to Rome to be excommunicated. They’re just doing it in as dramatic and public a way as possible to humiliate him and to warn others not to step out of line
Papal infallibility never claimed that the pope would be a good guy. And in any case, there is plenty of evidence that Bergoglio is not a legitimate pope, i.e., that he is an antipope. I personally have not yet come down definitely one way or the other on that question.
But faithful Catholics are going to have to get used to the idea that the heretics are in possession of the buildings, the institutions, and in the eyes of civil law and society, even the very name of Roman Catholic. It is not the first time in history this has happened (think the Arian Crisis), so it is also not the time for the faint of heart.

So let me get this straight, Archbishop Viganò to be excommunicated BUT Joey BiDung and Nazi Pelosi (devout Democrat Abortion loving Catholics) GET A PASS?
I must have been sleeping all those days in Catholic School when they taught that heretics GET A PASS.
Yes the POPE SUCKS on Satin’s red hot member!!!!
Vigano has repeatedly and courageous called out the corruption in the Church. So naturally, the Church will punish him.
If there is no justice in heaven, every saint is a sucker.
Prayers up, for this good man. 🙏🏻
This pope is an abomination. He’s all smiles for Joe Biden, the fake Catholic who champions unrestricted abortion and anti-Christian LGBTQ+ ideology every chance he gets but comes down hard on Vigano for defending traditional Catholic teaching and criticizing the pope’s erratic and contradictory public comments on these issues. This pope has a very thin skin.
The article in the National Catholic Reporter refers to Vigano as “disgraced” and calls him a purveyor of “conspiracy theories.” It sounds like it was written by someone at MSNBC.
That's why this liberal rag masquerading as a Catholic publication is often called "The National Catholic Distorter."
He should bring a recording device for the meeting.
