During your life, you have resided under the Muhammad Ali of American presidents, and as luck would have it, you are now living under the second greatest president, ever. If that isnโ€™t enough, over in Rome on the chair of Peter sits the greatest pope in Church history. 

Every day is like having the largest Powerball winning lottery ticket sitting on your dresser waiting to be cashed.

And then you wake up.

As the American nation endures a cold civil war, its roots can be traced directly to the Church. Pope St. Pius V who served from January 1566 to his death, in May 1572 had it right saying, โ€œAll the evil in the world is due to lukewarm Catholics.โ€  The Churchโ€™s Great Commission has been proselytized by the relativistic and secular gospel of a fallen world that is in direct contradiction with Godโ€™s grace.

Recently, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganรฒ, the former papal nuncio to the United States, who has been living in hiding, was excommunicated by the Vatican for being a soldier of Christ. The traditionalist archbishop said the pope was not legitimate and criticized the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, which according to Cannon Law placed the archbishop in schism.

Viganรฒ did not endear himself to the Vatican when he repeatedly warned them about the homosexual predation of then-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick who molested and raped. McCarrick was eventually laicized but never excommunicated.

Nothing Viganรฒ professes is contrary to the deposit of faith.  Yet he is thrown under the popemobile and excommunicated for criticizing ongoing heresy and corruption. 

So much for the Synodal Way.

Viganรฒ is in exceptional historical company that includes St. Athanasius, who dissented against Arianism in the 4th century that was accepted and endorsed by most bishops.  For his valor, Athanasius was excommunicated. Joan of Arc was also excommunicated and martyred but eventually canonized like Athanasius.  

The true schismatic is not Archbishop Viganรฒ.

Pope Francis has sanctioned and censured critics two of whom are Americans. ย Bishop Joseph Strickland of Texas, was stripped of his diocese, while Cardinal Raymond Burke lost his pension and Rome apartment.

The excommunication of faithful priests and repression of the centuries old Latin Mass are the last things the Church needs. Plummeting demographics, record low Mass attendance, church closures, empty seminaries and scant religious vocations go unaddressed.  The destructive effects of forgoing tradition combined with the errors of Modernism after Vatican II are undeniable and yet continue to the detriment of all.

In 2016, four cardinals including Burke wrote a letter called a dubia asking the pope to clarify ambiguities in his apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, regarding illicit reception of the Holy Eucharist. The Pope never answered and remains terribly weak in defending the deposit of faith.  

Then in 2023, the Vaticanโ€™s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith issued the controversial Fiducia Supplicans, which was interpreted as tacit approval for the blessing of gay unions.

Pope Francisโ€™s confusion only results in glass houses and double standards where heresies, blasphemies and doctrinal errors are just another dayโ€™s business in Rome.

Viganรฒ is vilified, whereas heretics that infest the universal Church like Rev. James Martin and those schismatic German bishops who continue surf the LGTBQ wave are immune thumbing their noses at the faithful.

Since Vatican II and the lowering of the moral standard, the Church has made peace with the world resulting in a huge percentage who have vacated the faith.

While pseudo-Catholics like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and those who claim to be faithful are the poster politicians for abortion, transgenderism, euthanasia, the LGBTQ agenda parade on serving the prince of this world.  No excommunication for you as the rest of Christendom for expediencyโ€™s sake looks the other way, while their bishops are locked on mute

These contemporary Judases are not interested in bringing souls to Christ. Rather these brazen wolves, who donโ€™t bother with sheepโ€™s clothing, work in unison with the Marxist-Globalist Axis and their New World Order.

Cardinals and bishops need to be reminded time and again just why they wear crimson. 

If St. Paul was still around, we would be getting more than just a letter.

May God have mercy on us and the whole world.
