Vigano’s Stalwart Exhortation to Clean House

In August the Church was rocked by Cardinal Carlo Maria Vigano's 11-page testimony exposing Pope Francis' cover-up and complicity in Cardinal McCarrick's predatory behavior with young seminarians. Originally, it was never Vigano's plan to disclose the matter to the press, but Viganò explains in his statement that because “the corruption has now reached the very top of the Church's hierarchy, my conscience dictates that I reveal those truths regarding the heart-breaking case of the Archbishop Emeritus of Washington, D.C., Theodore McCarrick, which I came to know in the course of the duties entrusted to me by St. John Paul II, as Delegate for Pontifical Representations, from 1998 to 2009, and by Pope Benedict XVI, as Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America, from October 19, 2011 until the end of May 2016.”
