The Testimony

How very sad. It is one thing to have family problems, it is another to have them weaponized. Who benefits from this being exposed? Why now? Maybe Vigano has a good reason to hide from … ?

“Archbishop Viganò,” the statement continued, “has nevertheless always suffered such attacks in silence in order to avoid further exploitation of the family’s legal affairs, which have nothing to do with the other well-known ‘institutional’ affairs that he has become involved in” — a reference to Archbishop Viganò’s recent testimony in which he called on Pope Francis to resign over his handling of ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, and detailed an alleged “homosexual current” in the Vatican.

Problems between other members of the Viganò family and Father Lorenzo began in the fall of 2008, soon after all the siblings had agreed to share their inheritance to help works of charity, and for the Church. This included donating to the construction of the Carmelite monastery in Gitega, Burundi, and a novitiate for a missionary congregation in Burkina Faso.”
