Viganò Doubles Down on Pope’s Silence in McCarrick Cover-Up

After a month of silence, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has issued a new and extraordinary testimony in defense of his previous testimony of August 22, wherein Pope Francis and 32 high-ranking Church officials were implicated in the sexual abuse of minors. In addition to courageously reiterating his charge that the pope had made Cardinal McCarrick "one of his principal agents in governing the Church" when he knew full well "how perverse and evil McCarrick was in his intentions and actions," he goes on to reveal that Francis played a key role in covering up or blocking investigations into other priests and prelates, including Fr. Julio Grassi, Fr. Mauro Inzoli, and Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor who orchestrated the St Gallen Mafia effort to get Francis elected.
