All things considered.
ROME - Last month Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, a former papal ambassador who in recent months gained global fame for publishing a statement asking Pope Francis to resign, lost a civil lawsuit against his brother over a family estate.
In an October ruling, the Civil Court of Milan sentenced Viganò to compensate his brother, Father Lorenzo Viganò, over $2 million, including interest and court costs, in a feud over their family assets. - Read more.
I wonder what the real reason is behind his bid that Francis should resign?
I find it interesting that there is no mention of this story on any of the pro-Vigano sites: Lifesitenews, National Catholic Register, Church Militant, Father Z, Taylor Marshall, Rorate Caeli, etc. etc. etc. As far as I am concerned, neither Vigano nor any of his supporters have any credibility whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely.

ReplyDelete"Not any and every priest has been persecuted, not any and every institution has been attacked. That part of the church has been attacked and persecuted that put itself on the side of the people and went to the people's defense. Here again we find the same key to understanding the persecution of the church: the poor."
But the Dubia!
Anyways, those temporary clinics set up in St. Peter's Square for the sick and homeless must be such an eyesore.
Forgot to attribute the quote above to St. Oscar Romero.
DeleteExcellent.

DeleteI am grateful to Papa Francis for such generosity towards those most in need. If I were blessed to live near St. Peter's, I would most certainly volunteer my many years as a nurse to help my neighbor.

Poor Vigano, I pity the man.
Imagine this:

Viganò, supported by several American bishops, has carved out a leading role in recent weeks, arriving two days ago to sign a message to all the participants in the meeting of the United States Episcopal Conference to ask them to resist the Pope.
ReplyDeleteTerry,
Were you aware of this?
I just read this bit of news on the Inside the Vatican website. It is the last paragraph of an article about Vigano and brother Lorenzo lawsuit.
I'm hoping the majority of the bishops did not heed his call to resist our Holy Father.
Have you read anything about that?
Yaya - yeah, I was aware. I consider his exhortation to the bishops to resist the pope particularly disturbing and indicates to me that his advice as well as his testimony can't be trusted.
DeleteWow ... The admonishment sent to Msgr. Viganò by Cardinal Marc Ouellet comes back: "you cannot conclude your priestly life in this way, in open and scandalous rebellion […] come out of hiding, repent from this revolt."
DeleteVery current, more than ever.
lol.....
ReplyDeleteIs Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò The Two-Faced Napoleon Spoken Of By Our Lady Of La Salette?
May he {The Pope] be on his guard against Napoleon: he is two-faced, and when he wishes to make himself Pope as well as Emperor, God will soon draw back from him. He is the master-mind who, always wanting to ascend further, will fall on the sword he wished to use to force his people to be raised up. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)
