Francis Goes After Viganó

In an email, he was informed of "the opening of an extrajudicial criminal trial", accusing him of having committed "the crime of schism". He is accused of denying the legitimacy of Francis, breaking communion with him, and rejecting the Second Vatican Pastoral Council.
"I am summoned to the Palace of the Holy Office on 20 June, in person or represented by a lawyer. I assume that the condemnation is also ready, given the extrajudicial process," he wrote.
Archbishop Viganò sees the accusations against him as a reason to feel honoured. He calls the Vatican Pastoral Council the cancer of which Francis' 'Synodal Church' is a metastasis.
He urges bishops, clergy and the people of God not to remain passive spectators to the systematic destruction of the Church by its leadership.
During Francis's tenure, he writes, the Church has been humiliated and discredited, largely because of the scandals and corruption of the top echelons of the hierarchy, while the most ruthless Vatican authoritarianism rages.
He compares Bergoglio's unilateral zeal to Cromwell's fanaticism. In the work of Bergoglio and his circle, the Lord's warning is realised, Viganò explains: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves (Mt 7:15).
"With them I have the honour to have no ecclesial communion, nor do I want to," he says.
Viganó again repudiates the neo-modernist errors and "the scandals, errors and heresies of Jorge Mario Bergoglio" and his self-referential tyranny.
