On June 20, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, a former Vatican insider turned whistleblower, revealed that he had been summoned to Rome to respond to “accusations and evidence concerning the crime of schism of which he has been accused.” He is charged with denying the legitimacy of Pope Francis, breaking union with him, and rejecting the Second Vatican Council. The “extrajudicial penal trial” is likely to result in the archbishop’s excommunication and dismissal from the priesthood. Viganò, who has been in hiding for the past several years (reportedly out of fear for his life), apparently did not show up for his trial on June 20. However, he has until June 28 to provide a written defense, or be judged in abscentia.
Archbishop Viganò posted the official decree from the Holy See’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) on his website Exurge Domine (Latin for “Arise, O Lord,” from Psalm 10:12), along with his defiant 1,500-word response, in which he states, “I regard the accusations against me as an honor.”
“I assume,” he wrote, “that the sentence has already been prepared, given that it is an extrajudicial process.” Refusing to recognize the current pontificate as legitimate, Viganò regularly refers to Pope Francis by his family surname, Bergoglio.
“It is no coincidence,” says Viganò, “that the accusation against me concerns the questioning of the legitimacy of Jorge Mario Bergoglio and the rejection of Vatican II: the Council represents the ideological, theological, moral, and liturgical cancer of which the Bergoglian ‘synodal church’ is the necessary metastasis.”
Agenda 2030 and the “Davos Religion”
Moreover, Viganò accuses Pope Francis and his Vatican hierarchy of gross corruption and subversion of the Catholic Faith, in concert with the globalists of the UN and the World Economic Forum:
It is necessary for the Episcopate, the Clergy and the People of God to seriously ask themselves whether it is consistent with the profession of the Catholic Faith to passively witness the systematic destruction of the Church by its leaders, just as other subversives are destroying civil society. Globalism calls for ethnic substitution: Bergoglio promotes uncontrolled immigration and calls for the integration of cultures and religions. Globalism supports LGBTQ+ ideology: Bergoglio authorizes the blessing of same-sex couples and imposes on the faithful the acceptance of homosexualism, while covering up the scandals of his protégés and promoting them to the highest positions of responsibility. Globalism imposes the green agenda: Bergoglio worships the idol of the Pachamama, writes delirious encyclicals about the environment, supports the Agenda 2030, and attacks those who question the theory of man-made global warming. He goes beyond his role in matters that strictly pertain to science, but always and only in one direction: a direction that is diametrically opposed to what the Church has always taught.
These themes, particularly concerning the machinations of globalist elites, “The Great Reset” of the World Economic Forum, and Agenda 2030 of the UN, have featured prominently in video messages produced by the archbishop over the past several years, as in the video below.
