Father Gabriele Martinelli was found guilty of 'the crime of corruption of a minor' for events at the pre-seminary dating between August 9, 2008 and March 19, 2009.
Speaking to LifeSiteNews, Archbishop Viganò roundly condemned Cdl. Fernández's defense of same-sex blessings as 'usurping the sacred authority of the Pastors of the Church of Christ in order to destroy Her.'
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò says the Vatican’s newly approved blessings for homosexual ‘couples’ show that the ‘Bergoglian hierarchy’ are ‘servants of Satan and his most zealous allies.’
Archbishop Viganò announced his plans for a new seminary under his supervision while insisting that 'good and holy priests are needed who are not subjected to the blackmail of having to accept the errors of Vatican II or the deviations of Bergoglio in order to exercise their ministry.'
'Our task as pastors is to protect the Lord’s flock from mercenaries and rapacious wolves: not to retreat as soon as we are attacked, abandoning it or allowing it to be looked after by others.'
‘Instead of proclaiming that the only salvation comes from Our Lord Jesus,’ Bergoglio ‘propagates religious indifferentism and lowers the living and true God to the level of false gods and idols,’ Abp. Viganò wrote.
The exercise of kingly authority – and more generally of government – must be consistent with the will of God Himself, from whom all authority emanates.
‘Their silence on the pandemic fraud is identical to that on the apostasy of the Catholic Hierarchy,’ Archbishop Viganò writes. ‘And the moral responsibility that weighs on them will remain as an indelible stain for which they will have to answer to God, to men, and to History.’
