Yes , I was always wary with Vigano since he broke his solemn diplomatic oath (which is stronger than the confessional oath) . But the simple fact is he is telling the truth. The truth, the truth and nothing but the truth. He should still not have broken his oath , though. No one forced him to. https://www.ewtnnews.com/vatican/what-is-the-pontifical-secret
Well McCarrick getting to sail in and out of the Vatican and into seminarys . Also his potential to abuse young men and boys seems like a reason to force their hand.
I wondered also if he perhaps has aspergers or something similar? I don't think he was trying to troll, but was genuine.... just hyper-focused and single-minded. I will keep him in my prayers. Modesty is something that certainly should be fought harder for in this world.
As far as I know the Oath of Pontifical Secrecy , which Vatican Diplomats take, is more solemn and binding than that of the Confessional. In other words if a priest broke the Confessional Seal and went round telling peoples sins which he heard in the Confession box it would be much less serious than breaking the Oath of Pontifical Secrecy. Just as there can never be a justification for a priest breaking the Seal of Confession much more there can never a Justification for some breaking Pontifical Secrecy. This goes back to old Moral Teaching that you can never do something evil in order to obtain something good. So a priest could not tell the police that someone had told him he had, say, committed a murder in the confession box. Doing something evil by breaking the Seal of Confession in order to obtain something good, that a murderer should be brought to Justice. In the same way Archbishop Vigano should not have done something evil, breaking the Pontifical Oath, in order to achieve something good, the exposure of a high level clerical pervert. Archbishop Vigano is an intelligent man well versed in moral theology. He would have known this but he did it anyway. This is why I have my reservations. Also he incurred automatic excommunication and deservedly so . Another problem.
If a Pope is promoting evil then a Cardinal or Bishop has a duty to protect the faithful especially the lambs and speak up to defend the truth. Isn't that what is wrong now. Those who should speak up remain silent I think Vigano had a duty to protect the flock from an abuser who was a danger to young boys and seminarian's. He was protected by all the powers that be. Likewise you cannot refuse to defend the truths of faith against a pope who goes rogue. McCarrick would still be a prelate of high importance only for Vigano calling it out.
He was making dogmatic statements about boxing that even the Church hasn't made. Everyone on this forum hates immodesty but he wouldn't listen.
I wasn't really concerned about that, I was more concerned with him attributing great evil to other forum members Sic: 'Well it looks like your not going to convince me or me convince you that exposing your body to others is harmful and a sin. At the very least, since you believe in nudity, please keep your clothes on when you are around young girls and boys.' 'Those people who are in such favor of nudity and half clothed persons tells me that they have tendencies, in which they do not want to control, to see others without clothes. Otherwise what is the reason to argue so forcefully in favor of nudity or half dressed persons? The unfortunate part kids are part of society and it is very easy for them to come into contact with it.'
Matthew 23 23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach The Pope sits in the seat of Moses so we owe him obedience. This is a hard thing but the way it is. As to judging who is or is not rogue that is above our pay grade. But I would not be quick to assume that Vigano was working or is working from good motives. He was Apostolic Nuncio to the USA, the top post of its kind in the Vatican. He should have been named Cardinal as a matter of course after a long and distinguished career in the Diplomatic service. It was owed to him. It never came. What's more under Pope Francis it was clear that this would never come. When I look at his face it makes me uneasy I see a man with a lot of bitterness and rage there. A man with a grudge. I feel the same when I look on the face of people like Cardinal Cupich. Another thing Vigano must have known about McCarrick for years, it was an open secret.. If he was so concerned why did he wait so long? A for instance when he was called to perform that Great Evil, the Secret deal with China? Why did he wait so long? Was it maybe he was still waiting for the Cardinals hat. which never came?
He said that he realized that he had a solemn obligation before Christ to speak up. He did not want to go to his judgement having kept silent in the face of the terrible evil going on. It has cost him dearly. God will sort out the right and wrong of it. Its easy to see why Cardinal Burke and the others did not speak out. They saw the danger of it. Cardinal Pell's death too was a warning. These men are so ruthless. Poor Pope Benedict. We will never know what he endured.
Praise God that Jesus as Judge sorts all that out! How sad and deceived are those who seek vain glory in this life and suffer the flames of Hell for eternity. Keep me Lord on the straight and narrow path weak as I am!
We are entering a time of Great Purification for both the Church and the World. It is as though a great sky of blood stands before us. The Organistional Church, the Church of the Vatican is about to be devoured in flames and so the Church herself will appear to Perish. For the rest, the Faithful Remnant a period of total persecution and a great effusion of the blood of the martyrs, from which the Church will arise new an Triumphant Greater and Holier than ever before. As to the World it will appear to nearly all as the very End of the World. We have to keep our eyes on the Full Prophetic picture. The Church is not a political party where some take one side or another. The truth is the Truth it is not a matter of Left of Right. Like Mary and Joseph and the Child Jesus we are about to flee to the safety of Egypt. We must not be caught up in these passing events. This passing World.
One thing about Saint Paul in the Acts of the Apostles (and this is true of all our Catholic Martyrs) is that they had an eye, through the action of the Holy Spirit) on the big Prophetic Picture. They knew they were going to die. So their prayers, their thoughts , their actions were guided by this. One of the Greatest Signs in the Church at the present time is that many even good and holy people do not have this sense of the Greater Prophetic picture. So they get too caught up in immediate events. They get caught up in an endless roller coaster of argument, debate and endless ferment. They remind me of people who are on a little boat being about to be swept over Niagra Falls. Yet still they fight and squabble amongst themselves to the very last. It is as Our Lady has indicated a time for prayer and fasting. A time for moving spiritually within not being caught up in the events without. Matthew 16:1-4 The Demand for a Sign 16 The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.[a] 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away.

I hear the argument about Vigano, Padraig. Obedience is hard, but required. However, if you know and understand the gravity of what we are being corralled into, you must speak out. Vigano knows. Rainer Fullmich knows. Rainer's estimate of there only being about 10-20% of us who "get it" is spot on I think. Weren't the numbers about 80% of people took the jab? Unfortunately we are at war, but we don't understand who our enemy is. We are targets of a nefarious cabal with deep pockets and a depopulation agenda. Rainer is right, there's a spiritual component to this, the common theme of the 10-20% who got it early about the Corona is that we are mainly faithful people who let the Holy Spirit guide us. Read this article about Rainer and understand that the enemy is well entrenched and very powerful. Flock cameras everywhere now, incredibly massive data centers watching and recording everything, AI spawning and ready to be unleashed (we only see a small portion of what it's capable of). Remember who pushed the jab and never recanted? Trump...I voted for him 3 times, but he's not on our side, folks. Rainer and Vigano are 100% correct, corona was a test to see how far they could get people to comply, I'm pretty sure they also watched which of us resisted it. It's ok, God has a plan too, Trust Him but be ready to walk into that desert that looms ahead of us and if you're not there yet, have a way to acquire potable water, grow your own food, have backup power, wood supply, radio comms, a full 3 year cycle of the Mass readings would be a valuable thing to have on hand https://brownstone.org/articles/dr-reiner-fuellmich-a-persecuted-hero-of-the-resistance/
Archbishop Vigano seems to have sinned gravely, but we don’t know that he didn’t repent and confess. What is happening is so grave, as you say, that he has the duty to speak out and what he says appears to be the truth. Nor, can I see any way that he stands to gain any worldly benefit out of the pronouncements that he makes. Apostasy, heresy and sodomy seem to be where the money and public adulation are at.
A day in which a society where women cheer for and celebrate a woman who killed her three children as a heroine is a society ready for the end of the world. Mothers and women who, according to God’s design and their historical role, have always been the ones who nurtured children, those who gave life—or rather, received it from God and passed it on into this world are now celebrating killings and murderers... I don’t follow it in the media; I just saw one headline about this case...The media will turn it into a soap opera, as if it were a TV series rather than reality, while three children were killed, all in order to push an agenda of normalizing such behavior.
