Italian Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, a fierce ultra-conservative critic of Pope Francis, has been found guilty of schism and excommunicated, the Vatican’s doctrinal office said on Friday. Vigano, the papal envoy in Washington from 2011-2016, went into hiding in 2018 after alleging that the pope knew for years about sexual misconduct by U.S. Cardinal Theodore McCarrick and did nothing about it.

    Vigano referred to the pope only by his surname, “Bergoglio”, and accused him of representing an “inclusive, immigrationist, eco-sustainable, and gay-friendly” Church

    First time I’ve ever heard the words “inclusive” and “eco-sustainable” used with the intent of condemnation.

      Feels like a dog whistle. Things western world is pushing for, and he’s spewing it like he’s some middle eastern despot criticizing men for letting their daughters go to school
