The Dear Leader of the Church of Bergoglio

You scream, I scream, We all scream for Ice Cream

The Church in America is about to be struck down thanks to Bergoglio

Diplomatic immuity arguments in court have been previously used in the United States by lawyers acting for the Vatican in lawsuits over sexual rape and sodomy by priests and bishops. The lawyers agruged that dioceses were all independent and did not take "corporate" orders.

That argument is now dead.

The filthy Bergoglio's actions in cahoots with homosexualists Cupich and Wuerl will backfire.

Rome's direct involvement will lead to the collapse of the structural church in America.

This is what you get when you disobey Our Lady of America and Fatima!

She's cleaning house!

"It's Not Francis's Church. It's Jesus Christ's Church." McCarrick Victim James Grein Gives Powerful Testimony

"It's Not Francis's Church. It's Jesus Christ's Church." McCarrick Victim James Grein Gives Powerful Testimony

Italian bishops do Bergoglio's bidding and bolwderdize the Novus Ordo and demand an end to Summorum Pontificum!

The Italian bishops, eight years after the English speaking world finally adopted the 2002 Roman Missal and the correct translation, have issued their incorrect translation.

Bowing to Bergoglio's dictates, the Italian bishops have changed the words of the The Lord's Prayer to "do not abandon us to temptation." It is completely wrong. As Gregory DiPippo at New Liturgical Movement writes;

The Greek verb in question “eisenenkēis” does not mean “abandon.” It is a form of a highly irregular verb [1] “eispherō – to bring in, lead-in, carry in, introduce.” No dictionary lists “abandon” or any synonym thereof as a translation. It is as if Christians have not been praying “lead us not into temptation” in countless languages for over 19 centuries, as if no one has ever bothered to consider what these words mean, and comment on them. It is impossible to believe that pastors with the cure of souls in Italy (or anywhere else) are suddenly besieged by anguished parishioners, tormented at the thought that the Eternal Father might be leading them into temptation. But even if that were the case, is it really an improvement to suggest that God cannot lead us into temptation, but can abandon us in it?

Further, they have not translated "bonae voluntatis" correctly in the Gloria.  The current Italian, “pace in terra agli uomini di buona volontà – peace on earth to men of good will” is to be replaced by “pace in terra agli uomini, amati dal Signore – peace on earth to men, loved by the Lord.”

They have refused to translate the actual Latin "pro multis" as "for many" and will continue to use "per tutti," or, for all, in direct defiance of Pope Benedict XVI.

If that is not enough, they have stated that Benedict XVI had no right to issue Summorum Pontificum, that it was illegal and that the Missal of John XXIII, an alleged Saint, was actually abrogated by another alleged Saint, Giovanni Montini.

Make no mistake that this is on the order of the dictator, Peronist on the Seat of Peter. It is a shot over the bow to the traditional orders, the ICRSS, FSSP, etcetera, and the many, many diocesan priests and communities. 

If Bergoglio and his filthy minions want war, they've got it.

This is not 1965 or 1968 and I am not my mother and father.

Monsignor Bux: Pope Francis Must Urgently Issue Profession of Faith

http://edwardpentin.co.uk/monsignor-bux-pope-francis-must-urgently-issue-profession-of-faith/

The Vatican theologian says unless the Pope reaffirms Church teaching on morals, the faith and the sacraments, ‘the apostasy will deepen and the de facto schism will widen.’ 

In a forceful interview with Italian Vaticanist Aldo Maria Valli, Msgr. Nicola Bux has warned that the current pontificate is issuing statements that are generating “heresies, schisms, and controversies of various kinds” and that the Holy Father should issue a profession of faith to restore unity in the Church.

In the interview, published Oct. 13 but overlooked due to the Youth Synod taking place in Rome last month, the theologian consultor to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints said “heretical statements” on marriage, the moral life and reception of the sacraments are now “at the center of a vast debate which is becoming more and more passionate by the day.”

Tom Rosica: "Remove the beam in your own eye, How can you live with yourself. How can you celebrate Mass?"

It seems that Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has some legal problems. Crux is reporting that a court in Milan has ordered him to make a financial settlement to his brother. When Viganò issued his Testimony, something learned about him was that he came from an old and wealthy aristocratic Italian family. This has enabled him to not rely on the Church for his retirement and given him the ability to protect himself from those who would seek to do him harm at this time.

Whether he acted inappropriately or not is not of any importance in the debate over McCarrick or those who supported his advancement and the advancement of others in the Church like him. He has rightly called out the homosexualist mafia in the Church and its destructiveness. 

Yet, there are those who continue to try to discredit him because of what he has written but fail to address what he has written. This, in itself, is a testimony that what he has said is true. 

Tom Rosica mocks the Viganò family writing, "What a beautiful Christian family."

One should be very careful about casting stones when one lives in a glass house because every family has its tragedies.

Tom Rosica asks the Archbishop on Twitter, "How can you celebrate Mass."

After dozens of mocking emails to me and an attempt to sue me and my family into poverty through a vexatious and frivolous lawsuit, I can ask the same question.

"Tom, how can you celebrate Mass?"

You can suspend Vox Cantoris from Twitter, but you can't suspend "Me" from Twitter

Vox Cantoris has been suspended from Twitter. It took place not long after I called @pontifex a liar over his heretical and blasphemous comment that the Holy Spirit brings confusion. I suggested that he read the Pentecost Sequence, Veni, Sancte Spiritus. Then again, I tweeted to him over his continued cover-ups of homosexual perverts in the clergy asked @pontifex if he was, therefore, a "homosexual."

But neither Twitter nor any who do their bidding can ban "me" from Twitter. While the nearly 4,000 followers are gone and cannot follow me there, they can surely still find me here - at least until Blogger shuts all of us down.

I have been blocked by many on Twitter. Tom Rosica, Austen Ivereigh, Antonio Spadaro, Rocco Palmo, Cardinal Napier and many more too numerous and silly to count. I consider it, as with the Twitter suspension, a badge of honour. 

What these clericalists and their minions can't seem to comprehend is that it is quite easy to have one or even multiple Twitter accounts under multiple email addresses. How else can we keep monitoring what they do?

I am not going away. 

The attempt to stop me has happened before, attempted lawsuits, nasty emails, interference with my work as a Cantor, ostracising me in my Archdiocese, slandering me with the former President of Una Voce, Leo Darroch and then his joining it to defame me to the whole Governing Council of FIUV and even attempts to attack my income and my employment.

They have lost everytime they have come at me and they will continue to lose.

They have their reward.

I have mine.

Vox Cantoris Suspended from Twitter

within the last few hours, I have been suspended from Twitter.

Did someone get upset because I called Bergoglio a liar? 

So, the same morning that I don't make it to Rosica's list of approved Catholics, I get suspended from Twitter.

I proudly wear this as a badge of honour!

Please Tweet this out.

BREAKING: VOX CANTORIS DOES NOT MAKE IT ON TOMMY ROSICA'S "TRUSTED SOURCES FOR CATHOLIC NEWS"

Whatever little action on perverts by American bishops has been deep-sixed by Bergoglio and his minions

Vatican Cancels US Bishops’ Vote on Sex-Abuse Reform Measures

The instruction to delay consideration of a new ‘Code of Conduct’ for bishops, creation of a lay-led investigative body came directly from the Holy See, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo told USCCB meeting.

Ed Condon/CNA

BALTIMORE — Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, president of the U.S. bishops’ conference, has told the American bishops that they will not vote on two key proposals that had been expected to form the basis for the Church’s response to the sexual-abuse crisis.

The news came at the beginning of the U.S. bishops’ conference fall general assembly, meeting in Baltimore Nov. 12-14.

The instruction to delay consideration of a new “Code of Conduct” for bishops and the creation of a lay-led body to investigate bishops accused of misconduct came directly from the Holy See, Cardinal DiNardo told a visibly surprised conference hall.

Cardinal DiNardo said that the Holy See insisted that consideration of the new measures be delayed until the conclusion of a special meeting called by Pope Francis for February. That meeting, which will include the presidents of the world’s bishops’ conferences, will address the global sex-abuse crisis.

Apologizing for the last-minute change to the conference’s schedule, he said he had only been told of the decision by Rome late yesterday.

Ahead of the bishops’ meeting, two documents had been circulated: a draft “Standards of Conduct” for bishops and a proposal to create a new special investigative commission to handle accusations made against bishops.

These proposals had been considered to be the bishops’ best chance to produce a substantive result during the meeting and signal to the American faithful that they were taking firm action in the face of a series of scandals that have rocked the Church in the United States over recent months.

Speaking before the conference session had even been called to order, Cardinal DiNardo told the bishops he was clearly “disappointed” with Rome’s decision. The cardinal said that, despite the unexpected intervention by Rome, he was hopeful that the Vatican meeting would prove fruitful and that its deliberations would help improve the American bishops’ eventual measures.

While Cardinal DiNardo was still speaking, Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago intervened from the floor, expressing his support for the Pope. 

“It is clear the Holy See is taking the abuse crisis seriously,” Cardinal Cupich said.

At the same time, he suggested that the work that had gone into preparing the two proposals should not go to waste.

Cardinal Cupich suggested that if the conference could not take a binding vote, they should instead continue with their discussions and conclude with resolution ballots on the two measures. This, he said, would help best equip Cardinal DiNardo to present the thoughts of the American bishops during the February meeting, where he will represent the U.S. bishops’ conference.

“We need to be very clear with [Cardinal DiNardo] where we stand and be clear with our people where we stand,” Cardinal Cupich said.

While acknowledging that the February meeting was important, he noted that responding to the abuse crisis “is something we cannot delay — there is an urgency here.”

Cardinal Cupich went on to propose moving forward the American bishops’ next meeting, currently scheduled for June 2019. Instead, he suggested, the bishops should reconvene in March in order to act as soon as possible after the February session in Rome.

The pointless was that did not end all wars

On this day, let us remember the 20,000,000 fallen and those who suffered for the rest of their lives. Looking back through the lens of history Canadians rose to fight, still in a colonial mindset, spent blood and treasure on this European debacle of death and destruction. Looking at Europe today and the lack of will of Europeans to fight for the culture and faith, it was all in vain. Those at the time, of course, did not see it this way. It was for King and Country and it was necessary for the preservation of Europe from a united Germany's onslaught.

The fools of France and England punished Germany so badly that another and worse war, and ironically, a just war on the part of the Allies, would be fought only two decades later. The bloodshed we see in the Middle East today is a result of the dreadful Sykes-Picot which carved up the wretched Ottoman Turkish empire and imposed artificial borders and puppet monarchs on the ancient peoples.

Looking at Europe now, the Europeans did not deserve the deaths of tens of thousands of Canadians and Americans who died in trenches of war and disease only to now behold a Europe no longer able to find the will to survive. 

God have mercy on those who died. 

May His justice be served on those who caused it.

Welcome to the Hotel Bergogliona

On a dark Roman highway, dry gel in my hair

Old cries of “Evita!” echoing through the air

Up above on the platform, I saw an old man in white

My thoughts grew cloudy and my faith felt dim

I had to stop for the night.

Rosica stood in the doorway

I heard the rentboys’ cell.

And I was thinking to myself

"Is it Purgatory? Or is this just Hell?"

Spadaro lit up a candle and he showed me the way

There were giggles down the corridor

I thought I heard them say:

Welcome to the Hotel Bergogliona

Such a humble place (Such a humble place)

Such a pious place

Mercy abounds at the Hotel Bergoglionia

Any kind of slack (Any kind of slack)

They will cut you that.

The priests are Mapplethorpe-twisted, even those in Depends

They got a lot of pretty, pretty boys … seminarians

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat

Some rite to remember, some choose to forget.

So I called up the Cardinal

"Please tell me you’re straight."

He said, "We haven't had many such men here since nineteen-fifty-eight."

And old McCarrick keeps calling from far away

Wakes you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear him say:

Welcome to the Hotel Bergogliona

Such a yummy place (Such a yummy place)

Where there’s  no disgrace.

They makin’ things up at the Hotel Bergogliona

Time to catechize (time to catechize)

Then apostasize....

Putti on the ceiling

Pink chasubles and lace

Martin said "We are all just bridge-builders here, to our own disgrace"
And in the pontiff’s chapel

They celebrate their feast

Singing lots of happy, happy lies

In honor of the Beast...

Last thing I remember

I was kneeling on the floor

I had to climb the long way back to the faith I’d had before

"Relax," Paglia told me

"We’ve a program to deceive

Pose your Dubia any time you like

Since we just don’t believe!"

Bergoglio's communist regime gets ugly

We recently had the Synod document discuss the "certification" of Catholic websites. Now we have Bishop Schneider being told not to travel and the Papal Nuncio in Washington instructing American bishops not to invite Cardinal Burke into their dioceses; and if all of that is not enough, there is pressure to prevent a publisher from promoting a book on Viganò, 

Do you still think the Pope is Catholic?

Vanity Fair and the coming Catholic Schism

 

Over a plate of double-egged fettuccine and two bottles of Antinori Chianti at our usual trattoria in Rome’s old city, the Vatican monsignor is gossiping about the late Pope John Paul II: how he wore Penhaligon’s aftershave from Harrods of London; how, as a bishop in Poland, the future Pope camped out with his philosopher friend Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka. Now he’s showing me how John Paul mockingly gave a discreet Nazi salute toward the backs of a departing group of German bishops.

“When I raised my eyebrows disapprovingly at his antic,” says the monsignor, “he punched me hard on the arm. It hurt!”

He’s my Deep Throat, my Sotto Voce, purveyor of unattributable whispers in Vatican cloisters. A middle-echelon member of the Vatican bureaucracy, known as the Curia, he gestures smoothly with his wrists, showing off pure-white cuffs and gold links. “This place,” he says with a smile of self-conscious irony, “floats on a sea of bitchery!”

Pope Francis is an enemy of the people of Europe and North America

My grandparents came from Lebanon, my wife, born in South Africa. When they came to Canada, they did it through the established laws.

What we are witnessing from the Middle East and Africa to Europe and from Central America and Mexico to the United States and even to here in Canada is nothing more than an invasion. It is not legitimate immigration, these are mostly not legitimate refugees. 

The international law on refugees is clear. When one reaches a safe haven that nation is responsible. Therefore, Turkey or Mexico as examples.

Europe and North America are under attack. 

In a recent talk to the General Chapter of the Scalabrini Congregation, Bishop of Rome Bergoglio addressed one of his favourite topics, migration. 

Clearly, this man is an enemy of the nation-state.  

http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/it/speeches/2018/october/documents/papa-francesco_20181029_scalabriniani.html

" I was a foreigner". This word made me "noise" when you said it ... It's easier to welcome a stranger than to be welcomed, and you have to do both. You must teach, help welcome the stranger, and give all the possibilities to the nations that have everything or enough to use these four words that you have said. How to welcome a foreigner. The Word of God strikes me so much: already in the Old Testament it underlines this: to welcome the stranger, "because you remember that you have been a stranger". It is true that today there is a wave of closure towards the foreigner, and there are also many situations of trafficking of foreign people: the foreigner is exploited. I am a child of migrants, and I remember in the post-war period - I was a boy of 10/12 years - when, where Dad worked, the Poles arrived to work, all migrants; and how well they were welcomed. Argentina has this experience of welcoming because there was work and it was also needed. And Argentina - for my experience - is a cocktail of migratory waves, you know it better than me. Because migrants build a country; how they built Europe. Because Europe was not born this way, Europe has been made by many waves of migration over the centuries.

Once you used a bad word: "well-being". But wellbeing is suicidal, because it leads you to two things. To close the doors, so that they do not disturb you: only those people who serve for my well-being can enter. And on the other hand, for well-being, do not be fruitful. And today we have this drama: a demographic winter and a closing of doors. This must help us to understand this problem a bit about receiving the stranger: yes, he is a stranger, he is not one of us, he is one who comes from outside. But how do you welcome someone who is a stranger? And this is the work you do and help you do: to form consciences to do it well. And I thank you for this.

But there is the other dimension. We are not the masters who say: "Ah, you, if you are foreigners, come". No. We are foreigners too. And if we do not try to be welcomed by people, those who are migrants and those who are not, another part is missing in our conscience: we will become the "masters", the masters of immigration, those who know more of migrations. No. You need to have this experience in your religious experience: to be you too migrants, at least cultural migrants. This is why I have always liked, in your training itinerary, the fact of making the students turn around: doing theology here, the philosophy there ..., so that they can learn about different cultures. Being a foreigner. And this is very important. From the experience of having been a foreigner, for studies or for destinations, the knowledge of how a foreigner is welcomed grows.

These two things, these two directions are very important, and you have to do them well. This is the first thing I wanted to say.

She also used another word: to pray . The migrant prays. Pray because you need so many things. And pray in his own way, but pray. A danger for all of us, men and women of the Church, but for you more, for your vocation, it would not need prayer. "Yes, yes, I think, I study, I do, but I do not know how to beg, I can not ask to be welcomed by the Lord as I am also migrant to the Lord". This is why I liked it when he spoke of prayer: prayer that is so often boring, or brings anguish to you. But stand before the Lord and knock on the door, as the migrant does, knocking on the door. How did that "migrant" in Israel - the Syro-Phoenician woman - who also managed to discuss with the Lord (cf. Mt.15,21-28). Knock at the door of prayer. To be migrants in the experience of migration, as you do in destinations, and to be migrants in prayer, knocking on the door to be received by the Lord: this is a very important help.

And another phenomenon of migrants - let's think of the caravan that goes from Honduras to the United States - is to pile up . The migrant usually tries to go in groups. Sometimes it has to go alone, but it is normal to pile up, because we feel stronger in migration. And there is the community. In football there is the possibility of a "free", that can move according to the opportunities, but from you there is no possibility, the "free" from you fail. Always the community. Always in the community, because your vocation is precisely for migrants who pile up. Feel migrants. Feel, yes, migrants facing needs, migrants before the Lord, migrants among you. And for this the need to pile up.

These three things came to my mind while you spoke. These ideas that maybe can help you. Thank you for everything you do. You are an example. And you are also brave, because you often go beyond the limits, you risk. And risking is also a characteristic of the migrant. It risks. He also risks life sometimes. And this is something that helps: brave, they can risk. The prudence in you has another shade compared to the prudence of a cloistered monk: they are different prudences. Both virtues, but with different colorings. To risk.

There is still some time. I do not know if anyone wants to ask a few questions to enrich the meeting. Come on!

ASIA BIBI IS ACQUITTED BUT HER LIFE IS AT RISK

Asia Bibi has been acquitted. No thanks to Bergoglio. Her life and that of her family is at great risk. 

This is an example of a person who legitimately needs asylum under treaty obligations of a real refugee.

I call on Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada to immediately grant her political asylum.

The world must condemn Pakistan and demand that she be allowed to leave.

Pakistan’s government has been accused of signing the “death warrant” of Asia Bibi after it said it would begin the process of preventing her leaving the country.

Bibi, a Christian farm labourer, was acquitted of blasphemy on Wednesday. She had spent eight years on death row after she drank from the same cup as a Muslim, prompting false allegations that she insulted the prophet Muhammad.

Bibi’s lawyer, Saif-ul-Mulook, has reportedly since fled the country amid fears for his life, telling AFP: “I need to stay alive as I still have to fight the legal battle for Asia Bibi.”

The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) administration signed an agreement with the anti-blasphemy group Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) on Friday night, giving in to many of its demands in the face of massive, countrywide protests calling for Bibi to be put to death. calling for soldiers to mutiny.

EWTN removes The World Over video of interview with Bishop Martin Holley - Did Wuerl who allegedly made "racist statements" put pressure on Bergoglio to remove him?

To the moron who mocked me, I am responsible for writing this article based upon the facts. The video was taken down.

I tweeted this post to Raymond Arroyo and had a response that it could be seen at: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=fZ1BBUcqaaM

Father Z reports it back on in pieces.

If you don't like what I report, go away.


This past week's The World Over with Raymond Arroyo has been removed from YouTube by EWTN. The interview includes the "Papal Posse" of Arroyo, Father Gerald K. Murray and Robert Royal. I have not viewed the whole episode but fortunately, it resides on my PVR.

The other good news is that the portion which includes the interview with Bishop Martin Holley has been copied and is on Gloria TV which will not bullied.

Bishop Holley has still had no explanation for his removal but hints that racism is part of it.

There is much more to this story. Bishop Holley states that he believes that "it could be an act of revenge." 

In 2012, Bishop Holley as Auxiliary of Washington was asked by Pope Benedict XVI to give his opinion on Donald Wuerl's suitability as Vatican Secretary of State. Holley states, "we have had our moments" about Donald Wuerl and referred to certain "racist statements" by Wuerl.

This is more coverup by Wuerl and Bergoglio.

If anyone has the whole program, please write me and post it.

Buffalo's pervert protector Malone about to be outed on 60 minutes!

(WIVB) - The woman who claims to have copied hundreds of incriminating documents from Bishop Malone's secret archives is coming forward. 

Siobhan O'Connor, Malone's former executive assistant, will speak to 60 Minutes this Sunday night at 7 p.m. 

60 Minutes will reveal what the documents she copied show. 

According to CBSNEWS.com, O'Connor accuses him of withholding the names of dozens of priests with sex abuse accusations against them from a report released last March. 

"Hundreds of documents O'Connor secretly copied from the confidential files of the Diocese of Buffalo offer an extraordinary window into Bishop Malone's decisions about priests accused of abuse. The devout O'Connor professes love for her church and her bishop. But she says she left the diocese last summer after three years because the documents she discovered indicated the bishop had allowed the accused priests to continue in ministry. "The reality of what I saw left me with no other option because at the end of my life, I'm not going to answer to Bishop Malone, I am going to answer to God," she tells Whitaker."

"I did betray [Bishop Malone], and yet I can't apologize for that, because there was a greater good to consider," says O'Connor.

Whitaker also interviews Deacon Paul Snyder of the Buffalo Diocese. He is the first clergyman of the diocese to call for Bishop Malone's resignation. The information exposed by O'Connor enraged him. "[Bishop Malone] is behaving in a way that you would typically think a CEO in a corporation that's being accused of corrupt practices might act, hiding behind attorneys," he says. Some of the documents O'Connor found were prepared by the dioceses' attorneys.

Since calling for Bishop Malone to step down, he has received 400 notes and emails. "They want to be part of the solution but they think this bishop is preventing that," says Deacon Synder.

60 Minutes has learned that the Buffalo diocese is under investigation by federal authorities. Bishop Malone declined to be interviewed by 60 Minutes.

Given the homosexual predator pervert abuse and those who suffer, what do George and Tom think is so funny?

Synodal Sophists and some housekeeping

If you have not noticed, a Synod has been going on in Rome. 

We need to remember that the men behind this filth are evil. They hate Our Lord Jesus Christ, His Church and you and me. They care not an iota of these youths, they only seek to corrupt them.

Stay strong and stay focused.

Oh, and lay of the abuse of each other in the combox, I will not shut it down, I think Rorate and AKA Catholic have made a mistake; - those without blogs need a place to vent and we need a place to communicate. Whatever help my combox can be is a good thing.

I do not restrict those who adhere to sedevacantism because I understand them, even though I do not agree. These friends have more in common with me than the people at my territorial parish where my family paid for bricks and mortar. Or from its choir loft I was thrown out of by a sodomite priest, abused and denounced from the Ambo by its Polish Michaelite Pastor for using Greek and Latin on Good Friday. No, I have more in common with Tom A. and Dr. Lamb than those Novus Ordo Presbyters and the blue-pilled few who still attend. At the end of their lives, those Sedevacantists will have shown the Lord more love and faith then these others.

So, while I won't close the combox, I will delete comments that attack each other. Attack the argument, not the person, okay?

Now, back to the matter at hand....

Are Efforts Being Made to Smuggle Rejected Topics into Youth Synod?

The controversial issue of homosexuality may be subtly introduced into the final document by means of different language, and inclusion of the much-disparaged working document.

Edward Pentin

The Synod Fathers are currently examining and debating the final document of the Youth Synod, tabling amendments and propositions (modi) to the draft which will be voted on, paragraph by paragraph, on Saturday. 

The general sense among the bishops, including those from Africa (whose voice some said had been “drowned out”) is that their views have been listened to and have found their way into the document.

The Viganò Testimony: Part the Third

On the Feast of the North American Martyrs

To bear witness to corruption in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church was a painful decision for me, and remains so.  But I am an old man, one who knows he must soon give an accounting to the Judge for his actions and omissions, one who fears Him who can cast body and soul into hell. A Judge who, even in his infinite mercy, will render to every person salvation or damnation according to what he has deserved.  Anticipating the dreadful question from that Judge — “How could you, who had knowledge of the truth, keep silent in the midst of falsehood and depravity?” — what answer could I give?

I testified fully aware that my testimony would bring alarm and dismay to many eminent persons: churchmen, fellow bishops, colleagues with whom I had worked and prayed.   I knew many would feel wounded and betrayed.  I expected that some would in their turn assail me and my motives.  Most painful of all, I knew that many of the innocent faithful would be confused and disconcerted by the spectacle of a bishop's charging colleagues and superiors with malfeasance, sexual sin, and grave neglect of duty.  Yet I believe that my continued silence would put many souls at risk, and would certainly damn my own.  Having reported multiple times to my superiors, and even to the pope, the aberrant behavior of Theodore McCarrick, I could have publicly denounced the truths of which I was aware earlier.  If I have some responsibility in this delay, I repent for that.  This delay was due to the gravity of the decision I was going to take, and to the long travail of my conscience.

I have been accused of creating confusion and division in the Church through my testimony.  To those who believe such confusion and division were negligible prior to August 2018, perhaps such a claim is plausible.  Most impartial observers, however, will have been aware of a longstanding excess of both, as is inevitable when the successor of Peter is negligent in exercising his principal mission, which is to confirm the brothers in the faith and in sound moral doctrine.  When he then exacerbates the crisis by contradictory or perplexing statements about these doctrines, the confusion is worsened.

Therefore I spoke.  For it is the conspiracy of silence that has wrought and continues to wreak great harm in the Church — harm to so many innocent souls, to young priestly vocations, to the faithful at large.  With regard to my decision, which I have taken in conscience before God, I willingly accept every fraternal correction, advice, recommendation, and invitation to progress in my life of faith and love for Christ, the Church and the pope.

Let me restate the key points of my testimony.

• In November 2000 the U.S. nuncio Archbishop Montalvo informed the Holy See of Cardinal McCarrick's homosexual behavior with seminarians and priests.
• In December 2006 the new U.S. nuncio, Archbishop Pietro Sambi, informed the Holy See of Cardinal McCarrick's homosexual  behavior with yet another priest.
• In December of 2006 I myself wrote a memo to the Secretary of State Cardinal Bertone, and personally delivered it to the Substitute for General Affairs, Archbishop Leonardo Sandri, calling for the pope to bring extraordinary disciplinary measures against McCarrick to forestall future crimes and scandal.  This memo received no response.
• In April 2008 an open letter to Pope Benedict by Richard Sipe was relayed by the Prefect of the CDF, Cardinal Levada, to the Secretary of State, Cardinal Bertone, containing further accusations of McCarrick's sleeping with seminarians and priests. I received this a month later, and in May 2008 I myself delivered a second memo to the then Substitute for General Affairs, Archbishop Fernando Filoni, reporting the claims against McCarrick and calling for sanctions against him.  This second memo also received no response.
• In 2009 or 2010 I learned from Cardinal Re, prefect of the Congregation of Bishops, that Pope Benedict had ordered McCarrick to cease public ministry and begin a life of prayer and penance.  The nuncio Sambi communicated the Pope's orders to McCarrick in a voice heard down the corridor of the nunciature.
• In November 2011 Cardinal Ouellet, the new Prefect of Bishops, repeated to me, the new nuncio to the U.S., the Pope's restrictions on McCarrick, and I myself communicated them to McCarrick face-to-face.
• On June 21, 2013, toward the end of an official assembly of nuncios at the Vatican, Pope Francis spoke cryptic words to me criticizing the U.S. episcopacy.
• On June 23, 2013, I met Pope Francis face-to-face in his apartment to ask for clarification, and the Pope asked me, “il cardinale McCarrick, com'è (Cardinal McCarrick — what do you make of him)?” — which I can only interpret as a feigning of curiosity in order to discover whether or not I was an ally of McCarrick.  I told him that McCarrick had sexually corrupted generations of priests and seminarians, and had been ordered by Pope Benedict to confine himself to a life of prayer and penance.
• Instead, McCarrick continued to enjoy the special regard of Pope Francis and was given new responsibilities and missions by him.
• McCarrick was part of a network of bishops promoting homosexuality who, exploiting their favor with Pope Francis, manipulated episcopal appointments so as to protect themselves from justice and to strengthen the homosexual network in the hierarchy and in the Church at large.
• Pope Francis himself has either colluded in this corruption, or, knowing what he does, is gravely negligent in failing to oppose it and uproot it.  

I invoked God as my witness to the truth of my claims, and none has been shown false.  Cardinal Ouellet has written to rebuke me for my temerity in breaking silence and leveling such grave accusations against my brothers and superiors, but in truth his remonstrance confirms me in my decision and, even more, serves to vindicate my claims, severally and as a whole

• Cardinal Ouellet concedes that he spoke with me about McCarrick's situation prior to my leaving for Washington to begin my post as nuncio.
• Cardinal Ouellet concedes that he communicated to me in writing the conditions and restrictions imposed on McCarrick by Pope Benedict.
• Cardinal Ouellet concedes that these restrictions forbade McCarrick to travel or to make public appearances.
• Cardinal Ouellet concedes that the Congregation of Bishops, in writing, first through the nuncio Sambi and then once again through me, required McCarrick to lead a life of prayer and penance.

What does Cardinal Ouellet dispute?

• Cardinal Ouellet disputes the possibility that Pope Francis could have taken in important information about McCarrick on a day when he met scores of nuncios and gave each only a few moments of conversation.  But this was not my testimony.  My testimony is that at a second, private meeting, I informed the Pope, answering his own question about Theodore McCarrick, then Cardinal archbishop emeritus of Washington, prominent figure of the Church in the US, telling the Pope that McCarrick had sexually corrupted his own seminarians and priests. No pope could forget that.
• Cardinal Ouellet disputes the existence in his archives of letters signed by Pope Benedict or Pope Francis regarding sanctions on McCarrick. But this was not my testimony.  My testimony was that he has in his archives key documents –  irrespective of provenance – incriminating McCarrick and documenting the measures taken in his regard, and other proofs on the cover-up regarding his situation.  And I confirm this again.
• Cardinal Ouellet disputes the existence in the files of his predecessor, Cardinal Re, of “audience memos” imposing on McCarrick the restrictions already mentioned.  But this was not my testimony.  My testimony is that there are other documents: for instance, a note from Card Re not ex-Audientia SS.mi, signed by either the Secretary of State or by the Substitute.
• Cardinal Ouellet disputes that it is false to present the measures taken against McCarrick as “sanctions” decreed by Pope Benedict and canceled by Pope Francis. True. They were not technically “sanctions” but provisions, “conditions and restrictions.” To quibble whether they were sanctions or provisions or something else is pure legalism. From a pastoral point of view they are exactly the same thing.

In brief, Cardinal Ouellet concedes the important claims that I did and do make, and disputes claims I don’t make and never made.

There is one point on which I must absolutely refute what Cardinal Ouellet wrote.  The Cardinal states that the Holy See was only aware of “rumors,” which were not enough to justify disciplinary measures against McCarrick. I affirm to the contrary that the Holy See was aware of a variety of concrete facts, and is in possession of documentary proof, and that the responsible persons nevertheless chose not to intervene or were prevented from doing so. Compensation by the Archdiocese of Newark and the Diocese of Metuchen to the victims of McCarrick’s sexual abuse, the letters of Fr. Ramsey, of the nuncios Montalvo in 2000 and Sambi in 2006, of Dr. Sipe in 2008, my two notes to the superiors of the Secretariat of State who described in detail the concrete allegations against McCarrick; are all these just rumors? They are official correspondence, not gossip from the sacristy. The crimes reported were very serious, including those of attempting to give sacramental absolution to accomplices in perverse acts, with subsequent sacrilegious celebration of Mass. These documents specify the identity of the perpetrators and their protectors, and the chronological sequence of the facts. They are kept in the appropriate archives; no extraordinary investigation is needed to recover them.

In the public remonstrances directed at me I have noted two omissions, two dramatic silences. The first silence regards the plight of the victims. The second regards the underlying reason why there are so many victims, namely, the corrupting influence of homosexuality in the priesthood and in the hierarchy.  As to the first, it is dismaying that, amid all the scandals and indignation, so little thought should be given to those damaged by the sexual predations of those commissioned as ministers of the gospel.  This is not a matter of settling scores or sulking over the vicissitudes of ecclesiastical careers.  It is not a matter of politics.  It is not a matter of how church historians may evaluate this or that papacy.  This is about souls.  Many souls have been and are even now imperiled of their eternal salvation.

As to the second silence, this very grave crisis cannot be properly addressed and resolved unless and until we call things by their true names. This is a crisis due to the scourge of homosexuality, in its agents, in its motives, in its resistance to reform. It is no exaggeration to say that homosexuality has become a plague in the clergy, and it can only be eradicated with spiritual weapons.  It is an enormous hypocrisy to condemn the abuse, claim to weep for the victims, and yet refuse to denounce the root cause of so much sexual abuse: homosexuality.  It is hypocrisy to refuse to acknowledge that this scourge is due to a serious crisis in the spiritual life of the clergy and to fail to take the steps necessary to remedy it.

Unquestionably there exist philandering clergy, and unquestionably they too damage their own souls, the souls of those whom they corrupt, and the Church at large.  But these violations of priestly celibacy are usually confined to the individuals immediately involved.  Philandering clergy usually do not recruit other philanderers, nor work to promote them, nor cover-up their misdeeds — whereas the evidence for homosexual collusion, with its deep roots that are so difficult to eradicate, is overwhelming.  

It is well established that homosexual predators exploit clerical privilege to their advantage.  But to claim the crisis itself to be clericalism is pure sophistry.  It is to pretend that a means, an instrument, is in fact the main motive.

Denouncing homosexual corruption and the moral cowardice that allows it to flourish does not meet with congratulation in our times, not even in the highest spheres of the Church.  I am not surprised that in calling attention to these plagues I am charged with disloyalty to the Holy Father and with fomenting an open and scandalous rebellion.  Yet rebellion would entail urging others to topple the papacy.  I am urging no such thing.  I pray every day for Pope Francis — more than I have ever done for the other popes. I am asking, indeed earnestly begging, the Holy Father to face up to the commitments he himself made in assuming his office as successor of Peter. He took upon himself the mission of confirming his brothers and guiding all souls in following Christ, in the spiritual combat, along the way of the cross.  Let him admit his errors, repent, show his willingness to follow the mandate given to Peter and, once converted let him confirm his brothers (Lk 22:32).

In closing, 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.

On the other hand, you can choose to speak.  You can trust Him who told us, “the truth will set you free.” I do not say it will be easy to decide between silence and speaking.  I urge you to consider which choice — on your deathbed, and then before the just Judge — you will not regret having made.
