Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano Excommunicated & Found Guilty of Schism | EWTN News Nightly 

They can shout it from the roof tops, but I stand firmly with the Archbishop.

Well, I am very pleased to hear that there is at least one honest Catholic leader so far. This is huge news. Kudos to Archibishop Carlo Maria Viganò for standing against Satanists and psychopaths.

I support Vigano. He speaks the truth, calling out corruption and challenging the legitimacy of the Pope’s questionable leadership. This excommunication is his badge of honor. They persecuted Christ and said we too would be persecuted for His sake.

why is the Church so severe on holy priests but not on Catholic politicians who support abortion or other wayward priests?

The only thing Archbishop Vigano is guilty of is speaking the truth. Let's keep him in our prayers.

In terms of Catholic Church, I agree with everything Archbishop Viganò said!

Excommunication is so extreme. Papal tolerance seems to be only for McCarrick, Fr. Marko Rupnik, Msgr. Burrill, Fr. Martin, and the like, while Cardinal Burke, Fr. Frank Pavone, Bishop Stickland, and any other outspoken traditional minded priest gets the boot.

Our Lady of Fatima pray for us .We all need to be saying rosaries for Priests,Bishops, Cardinals, and the Pope .

So, I take it the excommunication of many German bishops is not far off? Yea, right. Don't hold my breath. The hypocrisy is just screaming.

Vigano was defending the Deposit of Faith. God bless Vigano.

This is a disgrace! Archbishop Vigano is a very learned and pious man and does not deserve this treatment!

God Bless Vigano for his bravery in speaking out on many things ❤ 🙏 Amen🙏

Vigano is a man of conscience

This is so wrong! Many prayers for Vigano! ✝️🙏

Archbishop Vigano, Cardinal Raymond Burke, Cardinal Gerhard Mueller, Bishop Athanasius Schneider , Bishop Joseph Strickland and Father Gerald Murray are the priests and prelates I follow to stay on the "right path to salvation" -- the purpose of the Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ.

We must pray for the Church and our Bishops and priests 😢

I am sorry this is happening in the Catholic Church. This will just complicate the relationship of Conservative Catholics with the Church and will only worsen the status quo. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have Mercy, heal the Church, and lead the sheep.

Will the German bishops and cardinals be next?

Vigano: Guilty of being Catholic and opposing the NWO!

God is watching all of this. Sad, sad day😢

Guilty of telling the truth.

Pray for the Church. This is just fueling an already bad situation

They excommunicate Vigano, but not anyone in Germany. Tells you what you need to know.

So the man who tells the truth is punished and the man guilty of the crimes who was exposed by the truth teller is not punished. Hence, it is clear that Romans is happening in real time. All these things must come to pass. Tenete Traditiones God bless.

Yet Father James Martin can spread his outrageous heresy all over with impunity. This is egregious.

Remain faithfull brothers God is testing you. May Jesus Christ and his Holy Mother Church be your Rock.

Seems to me that Pope Francis has weighed in on Covid vaccines too, yet he is no more a medical expert than Vigano.

Fr Rupnik still roams free. While Archbishop Vigano might have gone too harsh and extreme in his stance, a lot has been left to be imagined under Pope Francis’s papacy.

Our dear St Mary McKillop of the Cross was excommunicated at one stage...then it was retracted. She is a great saint. Keep praying for her intercession. 🙏

Now that Pope Francis has excommunicated Archbishop Vigano one wonders if the pope will have more affection for him like he has for Martin Luther? Does Francis think he himself bears any responsibility for this present day confusion in the church? What a sad time for Catholics.

IT'S FIRST FRIDAY AND FIRST SATURDAY WEEKEND, HOPEFULLY EVERYONE IS DOING THESE 2 DEVOTIONS PERPETUALLY!! WE NEED SOLUTIONS TO THE INFILTRATION OF EVIL!!!

Though I am "Ancient Antiochene Church of God - TSW" Christian, I enjoy the historical programs on EWTN about the Roman Church. Very educational.

If we have heard about the bad Pope in the psst, that means it could also happen now. Mgr. Vigano has tried to save the Church from this recent "confused" doctrine. We love you Mgr. Vigano God bless you always.

I am a conservative NO Catholic but this excommunication is pushing me towards the TLM.

Yet Rupnik, Fernandez , and Martin are considered in good standing!

What about James Martin,and all the German priests that are laughing at the Catholic Church.

Great job pacha-papa Francis! I just wonder who is next, perhaps everyone who follows the 1st commandment and does not pay tribute to mama earth… perhaps those who keep the 6th and 9th commandment and are opposed to sinful union and blessings.

Shameful injustice to have excommunicated Vigano. Is it even truly valid?

This is a terrible shame. We have now lost another bright light of our church.

So sad.😢 ..prayers😢

If Cardinal Vigano is excommunicated, I am too, because I totally agree with what he says.

What's wrong with Vatican II? FAQs 1. What is wrong with the Second Vatican Council? The Second Vatican Council taught doctrines which had been already condemned by the Church, and enacted disciplines which are contrary to the Church's teaching and constant practice. 2. What doctrines did it teach which were already condemned? There are four major errors concerning: (1) the unity of the Church; (2) ecumenism; (3) religious liberty; (4) collegiality. 3. What false doctrine does it teach concerning the unity of the Church? Vatican II teaches heresy concerning the unity of the Church, namely that the Church of Christ is not exclusively identified with the Catholic Church, but merely subsists in it. This heretical doctrine is contained principally in Lumen Gentium, and its heretical meaning is confirmed in statements of Paul VI and his successors, particularly in the 1983 Code of Canon Law, in the 1992 Statement concerning Church and Communion, and in the Ecumenical Directory. It is contrary to the teaching of the Catholic Church, contained principally in Satis Cognitum of Pope Leo XIII, Mortalium Animos of Pope Pius XI, Mystici Corporis of Pope Pius XII, and in the condemnations of the "Branch Theory" made by the Holy Office under Pope Pius IX. 4. What false doctrine does it teach concerning ecumenism? The teaching of Vatican II concerning ecumenism, which states that non-Catholic religions are a "means of salvation," is overtly heretical. This doctrine directly contradicts the teaching of the Church that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, called by Pope Pius IX "a most well-known Catholic dogma." In addition, the ecumenical practices which have resulted from this heretical doctrine are directly contrary to Mortalium Animos of Pope Pius XI. 5. What false doctrine does it teach concerning religious liberty? The teaching of Vatican II on religious liberty, contained in Dignitatis Humanae, nearly word for word asserts the very doctrine which was condemned by Pope Pius VII in Post Tam Diuturnas, by Pope Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos, by Pope Pius IX in Quanta Cura, and by Pope Leo XIII in Libertas Praestantissimum. The teaching of Vatican II on religious liberty also contradicts the royalty of Jesus Christ in society as expressed in Quas Primas of Pope Pius XI, and the constant attitude and practice of the Church with regard to civil society. 6. What false doctrine does it teach concerning collegiality? The teaching of Vatican II concerning collegiality alters the monarchical constitution of the Catholic Church, with which she was endowed by the Divine Savior. The doctrine of Vatican II, confirmed by the 1983 Code of Canon Law, which states that the subject (the possessor) of the supreme authority of the Church is the college of bishops together with the pope, is contrary to the defined doctrine of the Council of Florence and of Vatican I. 7. What is wrong with the disciplines which have emanated from Vatican II? The 1983 Code of Canon Law contains the heresy of Vatican II concerning the Church, mentioned above. It also permits sacrilege to the Blessed Sacrament, by approving of its reception by non-Catholics, which is a mortal sin, and permits communicatio in sacris (common public worship) with non-Catholics, which is a mortal sin. In addition, the Ecumenical Directory of 1993 permits ecumenical practices which have always been taught by the Church to be mortally sinful. 8. What does all this mean? It means that Vatican II and its subsequent reforms have given us a new religion, a religion which is substantially different from the Roman Catholic Faith founded by Christ. The reformers have substantially altered the three main components of religion: doctrine, worship, and discipline. The result is that the reformers are promoting a religion of ecumenism in place of the Roman Catholic religion, which has always taught that it alone is the one, true Faith, and that all other religions are false. The Vatican II religion teaches doctrines which have been condemned by the Church in the past. It has instituted rites and disciplines which are Protestant in nature. As a result, the religion which Catholics find in their local parishes and schools, although in name Catholic, is a new, non-Catholic religion already condemned by the Catholic Church. 9. Could it be that you are merely giving a bad interpretation to Vatican II? No. The heretical nature of this council is confirmed by: the doctrinal interpretation given to Vatican II by Paul VI and his successors in their decrees, encyclicals, catechisms, etc.; the series of abominations perpetrated by John Paul II against the First Commandment of God, in the form of ecumenical ceremonies which constitute false worship, even to pagan deities in some cases; the alteration of the Sacred Liturgy in such a way that the Catholic Mass has been replaced by a Protestant supper service; the tampering with the matter and form of the sacraments so that many of them, but most notably the Holy Eucharist and Holy Orders, labor under doubt or invalidity; the promulgation of disciplines, especially the 1983 Code of Canon Law and the Ecumenical Directory, which approve of sacrilege against the Holy Eucharist and the Sacrament of Matrimony, and which demonstrate heresies concerning the unity of the Church as their theoretical basis; the scandalous mockery made of the Sacrament of Matrimony by the granting of annulments for spurious reasons, constituting an abandonment of the sacred doctrine of the indissolubility of marriage; the fact that John Paul II is in communion with manifest heretics, has openly declared himself to be in communion with non-Catholic sects, and has recognized an apostolic mission in schismatic and Lutheran bishops, all of which destroys the unity of faith. He has even kissed the Koran, which explicitly denies the Incarnation and the Trinity. He has also publicly prayed that St. John the Baptist protect Islam.

Noooo... 😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Archbishop Viganò will be vindicated... if not in this Tribulation-World of the Upside-down, then in The Next. “Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5 : 11-12

“Ordinary Catholics will not survive these times; only heroic Catholics will.” - Fr. John Hardon Our mother pray for us 🙏

Vigano gladly accepts being excommunicated from the Conciliar Church, just like Archbishop Lefebvre did. We need to pray and sacrifice for a good pope to come.

Crazy times!

Was St. John Chrysostom excommunicated? Yes, St. John Chrysostom was indeed excommunicated. He was exiled not once, but twice, due to his reformist views and powerful sermons which often contradicted the clarity and corruption evident within the Church and Imperial Court of his time. St. John Chrysostom, pray for Archbishop Vigano. St. John Chrysostom, pray for us!

Very Proud of Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano for standing his ground and NOT submitting himself to be persecuted , he is a true Christian and we stand with him .

VIgano will be vindicated on Judgment Day.

As a kid with 8 yrs of St Francis school under my belt, I was very upset with the changes Vatican 2 installed, even though I hated having to go to Mass all the time, every Sunday, First Friday, Holy Days of Obligation, and probably some I forgot. 😗

Prophets and servants of God usually work alone. Some times majority is wrong

1 Corinthians 10:21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons

This is crazy!

If someone for a reasonable motive, holds the person of the Pope in suspicion and refuses his presence, even his jurisdiction, he does not commit the delect of schism nor any other whatsoever, ….provided he be ready accept the Pope were he not held in suspicion.” -Cardinal Thomas Cajetan, OP. Commentary on the Summa Theologiae of St. Thomas Aquinas: entry 186 on “schism”

And was Cardinal George Pell murdered??? Last week journalist Andrew Bolt revealed, and it was confirmed by Pell's brother. That when his coffin was returned to Australia, they found Pell's nose had been broken, the enbalming was not done properly, and finally he had no clothes on, with clothes just thrown on top of the body. This is on the public record. Very sad state of affairs in the Catholic Church.

Everyone needs to remember something very important: God is watching everything and everyone!! Our time on this earth is short, but, the next life is for all eternity!! We will all be judged one day. I'm sure Archbishop Vigano has a good place in Heaven waiting for him some day. God bless him always.❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

No way! We are with you, praying and blessing you. Fiat

He is a true katholic Bischof speaking the truth.

Let all of us go to the Latin Mass. 🥀❤️‍🔥

I stand with Cardinal Vigano ... God Bless you Cardinal as I"m sure he does 🙏

Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano is a sincere and brave person. Let us pray for him! The Antichrist of the end times has already arrived: "Let no one deceive you in any way. For unless the apostasy comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one doomed to perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god and object of worship, so as to seat himself in the temple of God, claiming that he is a god - do you not recall that while I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. But the one who restrains is to do so only for the present, until he is removed from the scene. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord [Jesus] will kill with the breath of his mouth and render powerless by the manifestation of his coming, the one whose coming springs from the power of Satan in every mighty deed and in signs and wonders that lie, and in every wicked deceit for those who are perishing because they have not accepted the love of truth so that they may be saved." (2 Thessalonians 2:3-10, Catholic Bible) Jesus Christ will come soon!

Bless you Archbishop Vigano for standing with Jesus and challenging Bergoglio for all the evil has brought to our church.

Who am I to judge?

Aarcbishop Vigano is a humble truth speaker. He is amazing. Hope he keeps strong. Shame on the Vatican!!!!!

Hail Mary and St Joseph protect the Catholic church 🇻🇦✝️

How sad we have become. God help us.

How can we practise been a good catholic when we have a pope who makes these decisions and who cares more about the environment than teaching about sexual morality and who seems to ignore scripture. We need more clergy like Archbishop Vigano who basically highlighted sin in the vatican.

Punishment for continued disobedience. Obedience is a vow taken by all religious.

End times has come persecution of the Church within.

I appreciate the code of conduct 🙏. This energized the church in it's call. Many Bishops who speak other than christ teachings and the church's responsibility must have now understood he message.

There's alot of pride involved in church politics....

One wonders why Francis would excommunicate anyone? In his 2/2/2022 papal audience he claimed "no one can exclude themselves from the Church" and that even apostates belong to the communion of saints. What does an excommunication from Francis mean?

Prowling lion and his cubs are at work. We need to pray for our priests and Bishops

We pray for God's intervention during these difficult times. Pray, fast & trust in our Lord Jesus Christ. At the end of the day God is always in charge.

Retaliating against a whistle blower is a red flag against any organization. What justice can Vigano receive from the very pope who he criticized for misdemeanor? A third party probe is required into this matter.

We love Vigano!!!

Vigano is the voice of Truth...The Holy Father is not as Holy as proclaimed...

Archbishop vigano knows what he is talking about he is a true follower of Christ

@EWTN please make a documentary on the McCarrick Report, especially showing what it says about Vigano. So many in there making him their hero when he enabled McCarrick and then blamed Pope Francis for his own actions.

I think those that accuse him are guilty of schism because they chose to worship evilness rather than worshiping Jesus Christ like Fr Vigano. Bless him. He has the balls. They hust follow like sheep. I am disappointed with the pope. Very disappointed!

One of a very few good men that was in the Catholic church. Shame on them.

All good Catholics should look towards AB Vigano as a shining example. He has put our lord Christ above the world and stood firm in his faith. God bless him. 🙏

This is the conundrum always created by those who refuse any criticism of Vatican II. How can you legitimately criticize it when you’ve always been a part of this post Conciliar Church? That’s like saying how can you have a criticism of the American government when you’ve always lived here? They’ve spent 60 yrs defending man made documents, with endless man made interpretations as if they are perfect and infallible. They are not and the devastating consequences prove that, millions have left in droves. Worst of all, in less than one generation, most Catholics no longer believe in The True Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. This is the greatest tragedy of our time. Yet, still, there is no logical evaluation of Vatican II to assess its outcomes and impact on the faith. That alone is an outrage, let alone that one cannot even question it.

I am with Archbishop Vigano , Bishop Vigano is speaking the Truth from Jesus

LDMJF, what a good sign for Excellency Vigano. Only the good once are persecuted such as Bishop Strickland, Burke and others. BerGOGlio and the other wolves will be judged by our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS Christus from Nazareth. That is sure! AMEN Nolite timere; FIAT

Monseñor Vigano is my Pope.🧡🙏🏻 May God protect him. He is saying the Truth and therefore he will suffer in an Evil Satanic world.

What is the value of being excommunicated by a man like Francis (who is himself likely outside the Catholic Church for decades)?

👹👹👹👹👹 Are Pulling the Strings of The Catholic Faith now! GOD BLESS FATHER VIGANO. 👍🔥♥️

Dear Pope Francis , What happened to Forgiveness and Tolerance that you extend to others who have committed horrible , much worse actions ?

Church in confusion. May God have Mercy on us

Carlo Maria Vigano is a true believer of the Word of God and was brave to speak out when his convictions led him. I am a Baptist, and we would welcome him with open arms at our church. I grew up Catholic, but we left the church when I was around 12 or so when my mom got a letter from the church telling her to stop reading the Bible at home.

So very sad, but it is said that things like this will happen when those who stand up for the truth will be attacked

Vigano has been right about his claims. Only time will tell who ends up on the right side of history.

"It's not personal, it's just business" - The Holy See

So he has been saying the new mass for years yet is just now figuring out the problem.

STOP THE PERSECUTION!

Put all this in perspective: Viganó decides to be a so-called whistleblower, whether right or wrong, in disobedience to his office. He goes into hiding like a coward rather than facing his enemies. He continues to release statements in hiding. He’s summoned multiple times to appear in Rome and doesn’t appear. He refuses to recognize Francis as the pope, making his in a very objective and literal way a schismatic. He rejects papal conclusions and counsels. “Yeah, but some saints confronted popes.” Some saints appealed to popes they disagreed with, but they never became disobedient schismatics. They continued to fulfill their offices, even when they disagreed. Viganoó and Martin Luther are very similar. Both acknowledged that the Catholic Church is the one true church. Both decided that they were right and the entire papal authority is wrong. Both continued to promote schism. Both were issued excommunications/papal bulls and refused to accept them. Viganó is a neo-Protestant. Anyone who favors Viganó over the pope is too.

Australias First Saint Mary Mckillop was Excomunicated by the hierarchy of the Church when she was ministering during her own lifetime.

he is telling the truth. Dear Archbishop be brave. Do not be afraid of those evil people. GOD is with you.

Will listen thank you fiat fiat fiat ❤❤
