This was reported by my good friend, Fr. Carlos Martins:
I just spent the last two hours on the phone with a friend in the Vatican Curia. He said that the news of Archbishop Viganò has hit the Curia like an atomic bomb. Two things are universally noted regarding Viganò: 1) He is highly respected as a professional, and 2) His Curial positions gave him clear access to the damning information he reported. In other words, he is not a hack, and he is not relying on rumor. This makes his report absolutely worthy of belief.
Viganò always had a reputation for being a combatant of internal Vatican corruption. In fact, during the Vatican leaks scandal, whistle-blowing reports that he authored were among the main documents that were leaked. This was an attempt by the persons he outed to pre-empt the report’s impact and suck the energy out of the attempt to investigate their claims. Naturally, the subsequent energy went into investigating the Vatileaks situation in general, and Viganò was exiled as Nuncio to the United States for being a trouble maker who produced “erroneous assessments” (words from a joint statement issued by Cardinal-President Emeritus Giovanni Lajolo, President Giuseppe Bertello, Secretary-General Giuseppe Sciacca and former Vice Secretary-General Giorgio Corbellini on behalf of the Governatorate of the Vatican). To put this kind of demotion in perspective, as Delegate for Pontifical Representations—a position from which he was THEN PROMOTED to Secretary General of the Governatorate— Viganò was in charge of all the Apostolic Nunciatures in the world. Thus, when garbage was reported to the Holy See on a bishop or Cardinal—like it was with McCarrick of Washington, DC—Viganò was the first to know about it, because his desk is where the information landed. For him to be demoted as the Nuncio to the USA, from having been promoted to as the Vatican’s number 3 administrator behind the pope, was severe, to say the least. In other words, Viganò is not a hack, but a highly respected individual who had been regularly promoted for doing his job well.
In the words of the Curial official I spoke with this afternoon, what Viganò has reported “makes the Borgia popes look like saints.” The feeling in the Curia right now is that the response of Viganò’s enemies will to try to discredit him personally, both because of the impeccability of Viganò’s character and the impossibility of his having interpreted the facts incorrectly. Their only hope will be to try to take energy away from the perversion and corruption that he uncovered. They will likely state that he is a bitter man who is seeking personal aggrandizement after having been exiled from Rome. When this occurs, don’t buy into it. Viganò is retired. He has nothing personally to gain from this.
Friends, my advice to you is to write your bishop and demand that he request a COMPLETE AND FULL INVESTIGATION into the allegations brought forward by Archbishop Viganò. We are at a watershed moment in the life of the Church. If we don’t protect her from the wolves that have crawled into her and dwell inside her, we then have only ourselves to blame when more sheep are eaten alive, and the Church loses even more credibility in the eyes of the world. Archbishop Viganò’s report is a call to all the sons and daughters of the Church to personally intervene for her own health and safety.
Cardinal Raymond Burke and Bishop Joseph Strickland (Bishop of Tyler, Texas) have already issued statements today calling for the same. Add your authority to theirs. Write your bishop today. Then write to Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, Chair of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and request the same. Letters to Cardinal DiNardo can mailed to:
Daniel Cardinal DiNardo
President of the USCCB
Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston
1700 San Jacinto St.
Houston, Texas 77002
Then also write the Apostolic Nuncio and copy everything you sent to the bishops:
His Excellency, Archbishop Christophe Pierre
Apostolic Nuncio tot the United States
3339 Massachusetts Ave NW
Washington, DC 20008-3610
The wagons are circling as we speak. If Archbishop Vigano doesn’t have the documents safely stored, the homoclerical demonocracy and their satanic media allies are going to blunt the force of this scandal, and the laity will accept the pablum the homoclerical demonocracy feeds them.
Interestingly Tyler, Texas is where Louis Gomert comes from. Fine city from all I can tell.
What allegations did he make?
Making myself a note to write these letters tomorrow.
No more waiting, begging, meetings, procedures. We had that years ago.
Resignation now.
Find the good priests in your diocese, go only to their Masses. Give them money. With hold from Bishops, good or bad.
Speak out everywhere. Resignation now. Pope Francis included.
“…has hit the Curia like an atomic bomb.”
Need to no the tonnage…they’re dug in deep!
These filthy sodomites are everywhere and should be rooted out and destroyed once and for all !!!
End the disgrace of “gay marriage” and we the normals should be driving these sodomites to their graves.
Time to circle the wagons, Catholics, and write letters to your Bishop/Archbishop!
The difficulty is, it’s what the people want.
And if the people want it, the people deserve to get it. Good and hard.
Roger that.
Good article. That needs to be posted as its own thread. — The Views of a Father of Four Sons!
Lavender Mafia already going after Viganò. “Vigano however, also has his own problems.” Well that didn’t take long.

LOL
You've got to be kidding. The bishops and archbishops are the middle level ring leaders.
Wait until you hear what has been going on in the Newark diocese. It will be worse than Pennsylvania.
I pray that they be exposed.
Well that's two but there are 200-plus bishops in the USA. I'll be surprised if more than half a dozen say a single word. They're mostly useless time servers who don't want to die on this hill.
Bergoglio will skate.
We are both praying for that.
