The Testimony

As Jordan Peterson would say, ‘Tell the truth or at least do not lie.’ “I wish to repeat my appeal to my brother bishops and priests who know that my statements are true and who can so testify, or who have access to documents that can put the matter beyond doubt. You too are faced with a choice. You can choose to withdraw from the battle, to prop up the conspiracy of silence and avert your eyes from the spreading of corruption. You can make excuses, compromises and justification that put off the day of reckoning. You can console yourselves with the falsehood and the delusion that it will be easier to tell the truth tomorrow, and then the following day, and so on.” http://www.ncregister.com/blog/edward-pentin/archbishop-vigano-responds-to-cardinal-ouellets-letter-with-new-testimony

Rare & refreshing.

“Yet I believe that my continued silence would put many souls at risk,” he said, “and would certainly damn my own.”

The archbishop illuminated clearly the thinking of a man considering his mortality and the disposition of his mortal soul related to being privy to the Church’s clerical sexual abuse scandal.”

    “The Pope also mentioned dialogue – the premise of gift – that, he said, creates possibilities for human growth and development capable of breaking through established ways of exercising power in society.

    Watch Francis’ actions not his lips. Personnel determines policy. “In 2016 — as the photographs printed in El Tribuno prove — three of his vicars general and two monsignors made a formal internal denunciation to the nunciature, insisting on “strange behaviors” of Zanchetta with his seminarians. He met them without the presence of the rector…

    Pope Francis

    The Franciscan papacy is broken. I opine that Francis will do more damage before he dies, trying to force women into ordained ministry being one. Why? It takes the spotlight off of his (and his cohorts) role in the massive, massive crisis. So, the progressives have zero desire to get to the root of the…
