An Archbishop who wrote an explosive letter last year calling for Pope Francis to resign on the grounds he knew about Cardinal Theodore McCarrick sexual abuse, is now in hiding.Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò alleged Francis covered for McCarrick and claimed he repealed sanctions imposed by Pope emeritus Benedict XVI in the late 2000s, despite Viganò telling the Pope about the abuse.

May the lord project this man.
He has been hiding ever since he published the awful truth about McCarrick, Wuerl, and Bergoglio.
Hiding as in concerned for his own safety. He has not been silent, nor is he unaccounted for.
Where is the threat coming from?
The Pope?
Or pope supporters?
So if I read this correctly, he’s afraid that “the pope will hunt him down” for his views! If that is true, the Catholic Church is a Communist Organization run by a Commie Pope! What is the mechanism for kicking Francis out?
The history of the Catholic Church is pretty bloody. This pope isn’t atypical of the ones they had during the Babylonian Captivity in the 14th century.
Uncertain. I'd ask Abp. Vigano, but I don't know where to find him ...
Perhaps he has learned not to stand up ...
- Viganò also spoke in detail about one of his most contentious beliefs: that the sexual abuse crisis would be “far less severe” if the “problem of homosexuality in the priesthood were honestly acknowledged and properly addressed.”
“Given the overwhelming evidence, it is mind-boggling that the word ‘homosexuality’ has not appeared once, in any of the recent official documents of the Holy See” on events dealing with abuse and youth, Viganò wrote.
He said a “gay mafia” among bishops, intent on protecting themselves, was “sabotaging all efforts at reform.”
AND
“The time has not yet come for me to release anything,” Viganò said, instead calling on the pope and other Vatican officials to release documentation, “assuming they have not yet destroyed it.”
Is the church now THE seat of power of the Gay Mafia?
The pope admires the castros and the iran mullahs. I wouldn’t be surprised if he resorts to violent means to eliminate his opposition like those dictators do.
ANYBODY who confronts the evil that is the Gaystapo, in the Church and out, is taking a LOT of risks these days.

There is none. A pope cannot be impeached, or anything like that. In the old days, a few popes were forced to resign by threat of military force. But today, you’ve just got to wait him out. (Unless you’ve got a mind to tamper with his food.)
Interestingly enough, you do not have to be a cardinal or even a priest to be elected pope! You’ve just got to be a male Catholic.
So, in theory, the cardinals could elect a bold reformer - someone completely free from the corrupt Church hierarchy - as pope. Of course that won’t happen.
But it would make for a good movie! Maybe they could call it “Citizen Pope”.
There is none. “
How about an assassin’s bullet? Francis is going to bring down the Catholic Church if he's allowed to "stay on!" They may as well have voted Obama in as Pope.

I have made this point before on other threads, but have been told by Roman Catholics I am wrong.
I only cited Roman Catholic canon lawyers in my posts.
