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 word Antichrist has two meanings: 1) against the Christ, and 2) instead of the Christ. The Antichrist will be against the Christ, meaning he will be an enemy of the Christ, and he will try to replace the Christ, meaning he will be a false Christ. In the New Testament, we read that: He is called the man of sin, the wicked one, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit, and a beast (II Thess. 2:3, 8; Rev. 11:7, 13:1). He will oppose God and claim that he is God (II Thess. 2:4). His coming will be...

[Catholic Caucus] Archbishop Viganò: Spadaro’s blasphemous article a manifestation of the ‘counter-church’ and its false dogmasSpadaro’s article is not a simple provocation – something already unheard of in itself – but the manifestation, the epiphany, as some 'theologian' of Santa Marta would call it, of a counter-church with its false dogmas, mendacious precepts, deceitful preaching, its corrupted and corrupting ministers.Spadaro’s words are like a puddle of sewage containing the scum of the worst Modernism that has been plaguing the Church for more than a century. It is the Modernism that was never definitively eradicated from seminaries and self-styled Catholic universities,...
