Attack from the right could create holy war

Satanism and sodomy and schismatics, oh my.

Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano has been a thorn in the side of Pope Francis throughout the pontiff's 11-year papacy, Rosie DiManno writes.

Yes, we’re talking about the Catholic Church. More specifically the holy row that has erupted this week over one hell of a renegade and incendiary archbishop.

His Excellency Carlo Maria Vigano has been a thorn in the side of Pope Francis throughout the pontiff’s 11-year papacy. Reactionary, combative and archconservative, the archbishop has now been called on the carpet, literally, accused of fomenting schism — a split in the church — by denying the legitimacy of Francis and rejecting the Second Vatican Council.

If found guilty, Vigano could be defrocked and excommunicated. Probably won’t get through the Pearly Gates either.

Vigano revealed news of the canonical trial by the Vatican’s disciplinary body, the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith, himself Thursday on X and released a long statement in which he accused the Pope of promoting unchecked immigration, LGBTQ+ ideologies and an environmentalist agenda.

“Bergoglio is to the church what other world leaders are to their nations: traitors, subversives, and final liquidators of traditional society.”

Adding: “It is no coincidence that the accusation against me concerns the questioning of the legitimacy of Jorge Mario Bergoglio and … the ideological, theological, moral and liturgical cancer of which the Bergoglian ‘synod church’ is the necessary metastasis.”

He’ll wear the “accusations against me as an honour.”
