Viganò to McCarrick - "REPENT!"

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has issued a public letter calling on Theodore McCarrick, the homosexual predator to repent for the sake of his soul and the Church. I highly doubt that McCarrick will repent publicly, which is what is required. These men have no fear of God and no faith. While we can hope they are saved, it is more likely that they will be damned.

They will deserve it.

Dear Archbishop McCarrick,

As has been reported as a news by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the accusations against you for crimes against minors and abuses against seminarians are going to be examined and judged very soon with an administrative procedure.

No matter what decision the supreme authority of the Church takes in your case, what really matters and what has saddened those who love you and pray for you is the fact that throughout these months you haven’t given any sign of repentance. I am among those who are praying for your conversion, that you may repent and ask pardon of your victims and the Church.

Time is running out, but you can confess and repent of your sins, crimes and sacrileges, and do so publicly, since they have themselves become public. Your eternal salvation is at stake.

But something else of great importance is also at stake. You, paradoxically, have at your disposal an immense offer of great hope for you from the Lord Jesus; you are in a position to do great good for the Church. In fact, you are now in a position to do something that has become more important for the Church than all of the good things you did for her throughout your entire life. A public repentance on your part would bring a significant measure of healing to a gravely wounded and suffering Church. Are you willing to offer her that gift? Christ died for us all when we were still sinners (Rom. 5: 8). He only asks that we respond by repenting and doing the good that we are given to do. The good that you are in a position to do now is to offer the Church your sincere and public repentance. Will you give the Church that gift?

I implore you, repent publicly of your sins, so as to make the Church rejoice and present yourself before the tribunal of Our Lord cleansed by His blood. Please, do not make His sacrifice on the cross void for you. Christ, Our Good Lord, continues to love you. Put your entire trust in His Sacred Heart. And pray to Mary, as I and many others are doing, asking her to intercede for the salvation of your soul.

“Maria Mater Gratiae, Mater Misericordiae, Tu nos ab hoste protege et mortis hora suscipe”. Mary Mother of the Grace, Mother of Mercy, protect us from the enemy and welcome us in the hour of death.

Your brother in Christ,

+ Carlo Maria Viganò

When will Vigano and all the other modernists repent of forcing V2 and the NO down the throats of the faithful? These bishops were suppose to defend the faith, not transform and disfigure the faith. Vigano and McCarrick, two sides of the same rotten corpse.

Irenaeus said...

Bishop Strickland has added his voice to Vigano's. I hope other Princes of the Church do the same.

Anonymous said...

Agreed Tom A.
Irenaeus , obviously YOU haven't been reading the coverage of the bishop's " Listening Sessions" have you?
The laity is asking why they have not addressed the homosexual clerical situation and they are dumb struck. The conclusions drawn from much of the catholic laity and a few hetero chaste priests has been ,"They just do not get it."

They aren't stupid. They can read the stats and see it is primarily a homosexual problem .BUT admitting it may either

#1. A possible condemnation and backlash towards there OWN sexual proclivities ,or
#2. The very real possibility that a crackdown will result in
few to no priests left!

Opus Dei Vigano is grandstanding for an agenda otherwise he would not have protected Ninestedt with whom he shared an office for five years.

Irenaeus said...

Anonymous,

I wasn't born yesterday. I'm not stupid. I know the swamp is dirtier than we realize., and how the listening sessions are skewed. But that doesn't mean I can't express hope other Princes of the Church will stand behind Vigano.

A man can change and he can seek repentance, irrespective of his past. It won't mean the past will swiped away, or that he won't pay the price, but ... if a bishop comes seeking repentance, he is more of a bishop/man than the rest of them, as it is an extremely difficult thing for a man to admit he has done wrong.

Stephen Lowe said...

If Vigano speaks Truth...how refreshing. He has my support and prayers. And gratitude as the silence from others is deafening.

The whole CM site is currently full of articles trying to take down Wuerl. Meanwhile the rest of opus devil lala land (including FSSP Rorate & Remnant (MM alumni of protestant (lay run) Christendom attends FSSP/diocesan 'parish')) are pushing Vigano down our throats again. Canon 212 is calling Wall Street Drunk and 'credibly accused' McClosky an 'actual catholic.' No need for him to repent or opus devil neither for lying about him attending cocktail parties while being incapacitated w/alzheimer's.

Not one word about Cordeleone givin 'holy' (protestant uncommunion) to Proabort Queen Pelosi. Oh No! Drunkard Cordelone and Mexican Archie Gomez can hold the REC conference, give communion to pro-aborts, pray w/Mahony, stand on platforms w/planned parenthood, export every kind of evil imaginable -- and yet they are WELCOME to walk, run and strut in the the pro-life pharisee parade w/the (officially PRO CHOICE) anglican heretics and get a papal indulgence from Francis! No need for them or you opus devils to repent even though your hypocrisy is worse than any pharisee of Jesus' day.

Isn't it a mortal sin (and don't any of you self-called catholics know or care about your own souls?) to use repentance and salvation (the things of God) for base human purposes? How will Jesus judge Vigano, who has no desire to save his brother (or anyone except maybe himself (because FBI/CIA Opus Devil is blackmailing him; surely have the DC nunciature bugged (?)) but pens a letter (supposably --it's opus devil's word only--no one's actually seen vigano in 6 months) to put his brother's name back on page 1 of opus devil propaganda organs?

What would Jesus say about those who use the March for Life (the blood of dead babies crying out to him for vengeance) to destroy another man?

What evil immoral liars you reveal yourselves to be. No wonder abortion goes on and on and on --it's just a means for you people to rake in suckers. You all live off the blood of babies just like planned parenthood. What would so many 'catholics' do for a living w/out the 'prolife industry'?

Vigano has done more in six months to reform the catholic church than JPII did in almost thirty years.

Irenaeus said...

Anonymous at 5:41 - Take your holier-than-thou attitude and take it somewhere else.

Anonymous said...

Irenaeus (what could be holier than thou than calling yourself after a saint?), I publicly call on you to do public penance. I'm going to publish this call on the front page of all the opus devil blogs. Irenaeus! Irenaeus! Irenaeus! YOU need to PUBLICLY REPENT of all your EVIL CRIMES. I, Vigano, say so! Will that advance your salvation? Is it intended to?
Or is it just grandstanding (at best) and nefarious if intended to bring down someone else who's from PITTSBURGH not NEW YORK. Cooke advanced McCarrick. JP2 advanced McCarrick. B16 did nothing to McCarrick. Why don't Vigano call on them to PUBLICLY REPENT? Why don't he call on Cardinal Mahoney to publicly repent? Sure Mahoney knew far more about McCarrick's actions than anyone. What about Sean O'Malley? What about Vigano's pal Neindstedt, Cardinal Edwin O'Brien, & every Cardinal in Rome in Francis' coterie including Danneels, Maradiaga, Paglia, and Coccopalmerio who have committed the same crimes) but no mention of them in Vigano's letter. McCarrick is no longer a cardinal. He's being investigated. I think he's confined to quarters -- but he's supposed to come out publicly and only he?

This stinks to high heaven. These people are no different than those they attack. Their deeds are mortal sins and they will reap what they sow--just like McCarrick & Wuerl. What a joke: St. Gallen's Mafia running the church or the opus devil neo-conned Koch bros.

"Vigano has done more in six months to reform the catholic church than JPII did in almost thirty years."

JP2 continued the wreckage of the modernists: who appointed all these bishops including mccarrick & vigano? Why don't you start thinking, instead of just consuming these blogs. They are feeding you lies.

Anonymous said...

Anonymous 6:50.......Hold on there ! As Papal Nuncio do you REALLY think McCarrick , Wuerl and Borgoglio are the ONLY criminals and liars that Vigano knows about?
did you just recently poke your head up to read about Vigano and close your eyes to all the others? How about wuerl's best friend Dolan and all the others including bishops who presided over this massive coverup including the late st JP2 and Ratzinger who knew about Maciel since the late forties?
Arrgh.......Vigano's timing just happens to coincide with lowest Catholic opinion of the Papacy to date. Time for Opus to implant another one of their own on the Seat of Peter again to reap the profits and influence.

Vox Cantoris said...

Everyone! Take a deep breath and calm down.

Dan said...

Just a thought. I'd like to see Francis call for repentance, but I think he's been busy "accompanying" these fellows...

Anonymous said...

Vox, even Frank Walker asks why an open letter by Vigano and not a private admonition to repent ?
Many people are seeing a hidden agenda working here with Vigano and Tim Busch. OD/RC Legatus millionaire church investors who have been making dividends off the so called evangelization want to see the CEO ( Pope) of their choice bringing in profits from the peasants i.e. tourism, publication sales, private high priced tuition opus dei schools and colleges etc.
Vigano was their hand picked front man to get the ball rolling.

Stephen Lowe said...

Anonymous at 5:41. Nonsense.

Anonymous said...

Bo Steve ,it is common sense not nonsense once you know what OD has been up to and read where all their tentacles of control reach.
Read Randy Engel's expose on Vigano.

An OD school employee in MD contradicted a comment here some months ago about the Numerary in an OD school in Spain using the guise of spiritual direction to groom a young boy for his sodomite lust by removing him regularly from class. The poster also called it nonsense .
The OD Numerary just received an 11 year jail sentence for the prolonged crime and suffering he inflicted and Netflix will be airing a movie on them. Mrs Engel was the ONLY one who reported on the case here in the US.

No it is common sense .Read Engel's article series on Vigano.

Don't forget their plan to over-run U.S. borders and all borders to turn us into the slaves of Tim Busch (who's hotel empire and winery run on cheap, illegal slave labor) and the pro-abort, pro-sodomy, pro one world government Koch brothers. Won’t hear a word about that in CM, LifeSite News or Catholic World Report, Catholic Register, EWTN or any opus dei controlled propaganda organ. How the rich republicans and the sodomite communists have teamed up behind Baby Butcher Abortion Queen Pelosi to destroy the U.S. and enslave the American worker.

"Busch, the California donor, expressed a similar view."I'm gonna vote for Donald Trump, but I'm not going to support him," he said."

Busch’s not a get rich off slave labor scumbag, he’s a promoter of da mass:

“He shares our values,” Busch said while introducing Koch. “I tell Charles he's a Catholic, he just doesn’t know it.”

Trump has used the term "globalist" before. Trump called his former economic adviser Gary Cohn a "globalist" when he resigned from Trump's administration in March of this year. Cohn is Jewish.

“He’s been terrific. He may be a globalist, but I still like him." Trump said. "He is seriously a globalist. There’s no question. In his own way, but you know what, he’s a nationalist. He loves our country.”

The Anti-Defamation League defines “globalist” as an antisemitic slur.

“In addition to her many hobbies of shopping, traveling and drinking Busch Bubbles, Kenzie loves to spend time with her husband Collin Vath and their two loving dogs. A mini goldendoodle named June and an aussiedoodle named Pixie. They have quite the personalities and love to visit Napa. “My favorite nights consist of family, good friends & of course a glass of our finest Trinitas wine, Cheers!"

http://www.trinitascellars.com/OUR-STORY/Meet-The-Family/The-Busch-Family

Guess Kenzie shares daddy's values too as she has a family of dogs not children and yet they have the gall to call their winery "trinitas" (Dominos Pizza) and buy politicians and archbishops who do their handlers bidding -- using the things of God for base personal gain.

I'd take the "V" for Vigano off my site if I were you Vox--seems more like V for Vassal of the opus devil.

Anonymous said...

Instead of thinking badly about Vigano, we could elaborate on good intentions.
A public call to repentance could make it easier for other "good" priests to raise their voices.
Anyway, the real reason we do not know, and therefore we cannot judge Vigano's intentions.

Dan said...

Idk, but if Opus dei was as globalist as anonymous says, wouldn't the Francis be promoting the heck out of it?

Tom A. said...

It boggles my mind that so many traditionalists are taken in just because a modernist is repulsed by unnatural vice. Have traditonalists become so desperate for allies that we jettison all the doctrinal issues of V2 and the NO and elevate to hero status any modernists who still hold Catholic teaching on the 6th and 9th Commandments? The fight in the NO sect we are witnessing is the final battle between the progressives and the conservatives. Spoiler alert, the progressives will win. At V2 the conservatives caved in on the matters of faith, soon they will cave in on matters of morals.

Dan said...

Tom A., I believe you are right... sadly. Whatever "this" is, it's going the way of the liberal protestant "churches." Married lesbian priestesses and robot/human blessing ceremonies coming soon!

Tom A. said...

Its unfortunate Dan. The conservatives are fixated on unity and not causing a schism. To achieve this goal they will eventually compromise on everything. Sadly most traditionalists are not far behind. They "resist" but destroy the nature of the Church to preserve some semblance of unity.

Irenaeus said...

Let's not give into despair, gentlemen, because this is precisely what it looks like you're doing.

The Church has stood strong for 2,000 years, despite many men - including Her own clergy! - trying to destroy it from the outside and inside.

It's no different this time than it was before. It only seems more acute because we are living in these times. I am sure those who were "in the know" all those times of crises before our own felt it acutely also.

By the way, we are all infected with liberalism, and trying to make the most of what we have in the ruins of our heritage. Let's not hold each other to impossible standards, and hold someone else as less traditional simply because they do not think the same way you or I do. We do not need this useless labelling and name-calling.

Vigano should have addressed all the clergy in his public appeal for penance. However, justice and restitution should come first for all the pervs and their enablers: turn yourself into law enforcement, register as a sex offender, and personally compensate the victims for destroying their childhood, families, and their entire lives. And what are the requirements for penance? Seclusion in a quiet and relaxing monastery in the Alps?

Who knows if Vigano is a front-man for an Opus Dei power grab...and what schemes may be in the works from that group or from others. It really doesn't matter because there won't be much left to control once the RICO charges are served and assets are seized.

But we ALL should repent, do penance, fast, and pray the Rosary daily like our Lady requested! God allows wolves to be our shepherds when He is angry with His people. And these shepherds truly are a punishment for our multitudes of vices and lazy indifference.

One closing thought...A priest is supposed to protect a consecrated Host with his life if necessary. So why do we not hear of anyone in the clergy defending our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament by vehemently objecting to these pervs retaining their right to say Mass and perform a consecration and thus touching their lecherous hands on His pure and chaste Body. Has it not occurred to anyone that this in itself is a horrible offense? Where is the outrage??

The vitreol spewed by some called anonymous here is intended to dissuade some from acknowledging the Truth. I am grateful for Viganos testimony and urge others to disregard the noise and relativism spewed by so called well researched anonymous. God bless Vigano and please continue to reveal the ugly and sinful Truth.

Tom A. said...

By and large the NO sect does not believe in transubstantion anymore. This realization is not "despair" as some would put it, but an accurate assessment as to how far from the Faith the NO sect has fallen.

SL, you are wrong.
Anonymous posts here are clearly posted in attempt to educate others about the Opus Dei cult.
Per one example, please watch Opus Dei member and promoter, Dr Taylor Marshall in this video and tell us if this really sounds like Catholic.

It is Gnostic
and then there is this his so called private revelation
https://churchpop.com/2018/03/06/taylor-marshall-reveals-he-had-mystical-experience-about-the-churchs-state-today/

Opus dei fosters the careers of non Catholics and converts by publishing their books and helping them find teaching positions in Catholic universities and promotes them on EWTN.
Recall Hahn who brought us the female Holy Spirit?





Lynda said...

The foundational truths are completely ignored and everything addressed on a superficial, worldly and sensationalised way, seeking "respect of men", and we know how corrupted the men of our time have become. Lord have mercy on us, preserve us in the everlasting One True Faith.

Lynda said...

There is no such thing, objectively speaking, as "homosexuality" in man. Constant use of this and cognate terms seek to, and for the most part have succeeded in, corrupting reason and understanding regarding man's fixed, God-given nature. Man has two sexes, male and female, and the man and woman together conjugate and procreate, having children and rearing them, comprising a family, joined to the families of the mother and father. Perverted sexual relations between persons of the same sex are just that - a perversion of the nature of man and is a function of the will corrupted by sin. Using false terms such as "homosexual" to describe a person is a most gross lie with false implicit premises that are imbued by the unthinking, the reckless, the young, the intellectually- and morally- vulnerable. Let us never adopt and use false terms, introduced to establish unquestioned acceptance of fundamental and most pernicious falsehoods.

May God give us the graces necessary to maintain discernment of the unchanging truths by Faith and reason.

Lynda said...

Opus Dei is fundamentally wrong in some of its core principles and organisation. It tends to worldliness and worldly power and wealth and is in many ways of its operating, opposed to Faith and morals and the true good of the person and the Common Good. False gods are interposed between the person and God and the Holy Faith.

"In the Opus Dei ranks, the central idea is holiness in ordinary life

Here, too, the idea is quite seductive. But, in practice, the demand for holiness passes through blind obedience to the power of the clerics to reach this impossible goal.

A reading of The Way, the founder’s central work, makes it clear: “Be strong. -Be virile. -Be a man. And then… be an angel”[17] Members are also told to: “love, bless, sanctify and glorify suffering!”[18]

Besides, the Opus is known for its elitism, and its juridical statute as the pope’s personal prelature. The dominican priest, Pierre Emonet, stresses: “As regards the married lay person, he better accept not being more than a second-class Christian. If leadership positions are closed to him it is because “marriage is for the flock and not for the commanding officers of Christ. -While eating is an individual need, procreation is only a demand of the species, which individuals can forego.”[19] Thus, the Opus Dei organization is the result of a mutilated ecclesiology, which forgets that the Church is first and foremost a People where all members are equal.”[20https://regainnetwork.org/2018/11/04/legion-of-christ-opus-dei-focolare-accused-as-sect-like-aberrations-by-french-catholic-experts/]"
