Francis' Fratelli tutti ignores the "transcendent dimension" and "Catholic morality," Archbishop Viganò told LifeSiteNews.com (October 14).
He asks what "brotherhood" - the encyclical's main theme - could ever exist if killing unborn children is considered irrelevant.
Viganò sees in Fratelli tutti "no breath of love" neither for God nor for man because the encyclical, instead of waking up modern man of his "hypnotic spell of do-goodery, ecologism, pacifism, ecumenism, and globalism," confirms him in this.
In order to do good to a sinful and rebellious man, it's necessary to explain to him that by distancing himself from God he will become a slave of Satan and of himself, Viganò explains and concludes, "No sense of brotherhood with other damned souls can remedy enmity towards God.”
Viganò questions the “utopian, transient dream" contained in Fratelli tutti which is "closed" to God's Grace.
For Viganò, the encyclical shows “the emptiness of a withered heart, of a blind man deprived of supernatural sight, who gropingly thinks he can give an answer that he himself first ignores.”

God, bless this man and keep him safe, Amen.
I would call that a throw down
I am under the impression that the communist Argentinian antipope is not viewed favorably by many catholics. Will any Catholic Freepers tell me if I am right?
Pope Francis has surrounded himself with advisors who seem to be more materialistic than given to prayer, which may be to his comfort - that is to be determined. And the Pope often speaks confusingly about matters of which he seems to have no understanding. Being Pope is the toughest job on earth due to the weight of responsibility inherent in the post. Having an itchy ear that wants to hear nonsense does nothing to ameliorate the situation. So we pray for him even as we hear him speak nonsense with solemnity.
Now, now! He’s just trying his best to complete the work of the Satan Council (1962-1965) to destroy what’s left of Catholicism!
So we pray for him even as we hear him speak nonsense with solemnity.

Au contraire, we pray for the survival of the Holy Catholic Church, that it will withstand the vile attacks by this faux Pope who is working diligently to complete the destruction that was begun by the Satan Council (1962-1965).
