  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

So how should catholic's respond to a catholic priest like Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò who warns the world of the NWO , and the dangers of taking the covid 19 vaccine and many other so called conspiracies.?

So far I have never heard anyone call him a conspiracy theorist....:scratch:

If those are his views, I'll call him one. And now everyone can call him an ex-Catholic.

Vatican excommunicates Archbishop Viganò for refusing to recognize Pope Francis​

In a rare trial, the Vatican acted against Carlo Maria Viganò, a former ambassador to the U.S. and one of Pope Francis’s most vociferous internal critics.

Such drastic steps are exceeding rare in the church and illustrated the extent to which Viganò — the Vatican’s former ambassador to the United States — is perceived to have crossed a line. He has called on the pope to resign and excoriated him in harsh terms, including calling him “a servant of Satan.”

Many, Catholic and otherwise, will not hear his warnings.
Many who will not hear, declare him a conspiracy theorist.

That is the way it seems to go these days:
If a person does not agree with you, or just does not want to hear what you are saying, you get called a conspiracy theorist.

... nothing new under the sun.

Ex-Catholic he now is, and fortunately for Vigano, one does not need to be Catholic in order to go to heaven.

I'm sure Vigano understood the consequences that would befall him, because of the things that he said.
Vigano may be old, but he is not a stupid man; just one very concerned for humanity, and not afraid to say so:

It is not of importance to me, whether Francis is the 'real' pope or not.
But yes, Pope Francis does support the 2030 Agenda. And it is no secret.
There are many, mary acticles reporting Francis' support of it.

He is not an ex-Catholic. He is an excommunicated Catholic. He can come back anytime he desires.

Well, good for him :liturgy:... to have the option! Though it does make one wonder if Vigano will ever desire to repent for the things he has done, and, if so, if the Vatican will lift the excommunication or the Church will declare the excommunication invalid. Maybe under the next pope ...

I do not see any signs of repentance at this point. All we can do is pray for him.
