DECLARATION

of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò


regarding the canonical sanctions imposed on Father Frank A. Pavone

AGERE SEQUITUR ESSE. So we are taught by scholastic philosophy: the action of


every being depends on the nature of that being. It follows that a person’s actions are
consistent with who that person is. We find confirmation of this principle of ontology
in the canonical sanctions recently imposed by the Holy See on Father Frank A.
Pavone, a well-known and appreciated pro-life priest, who for decades has been
committed to the battle against the horrible crime of abortion. If a Roman Dicastery
decides to electrocute a priest with reduction to the lay state, accusing him of
blasphemy and preventing him from having the ability to defend himself legally in a
canonical trial; and if, at the same time, analogous decisions are not taken with regard
to notorious heretical, corrupt, and fornicating clergy, it is not out of place to ask if
such a persecutory action reveals a persecutory mind, and if an action against a good
priest who has worked strenuously to oppose abortion reveals the hatred of the
persecutor with regard to the Good and those who fight for it. This unjust and
illegitimate punishment becomes all the more hateful the closer we come to Holy
Christmas, if we consider that by the killing of innocent children the Enemy of the
human race wants to kill the Infant King.

The Bergoglian sect eclipses the Catholic Church with its arrogant occupation of
leadership posts and scandalously abuses its authority for a purpose opposed to that
for which Our Lord, the Head of the Church, has intended it. There is no area of
doctrine, morals, discipline, or liturgy that has not been the object of its vandalizing
action. Nothing is being saved of the little that remained after sixty years of
systematic demolition through the work of Second Vatican Council, and that which
survives as a crumbling reminder of the glories of days gone by is under the constant
threat of new and worse devastation.

It is therefore evident that the Roman Sanhedrin – whose work baffles even the most
cautious interpreters of Vatican affairs – has a purpose of persecuting the good and
promoting evildoers. The case of the “cancellation” of Father Pavone is the
umpteenth demonstration that this purpose is being carried out with ferocious
obstinacy, both in order to feed a climate of terror among the clergy so as to constrain
them into servile and fearful obedience and also to create disorientation and scandal
among the faithful and others who still look to the Church as a moral point of
reference. All of this is happening at the same time that the Jesuit priest Marko Ivan
Rupnik, on whom a sentence is pending for very serious canonical crimes that carry
with them the punishment of excommunication latæ sententiæ, has his canonical
penalty remitted by his Jesuit confrere and companion who lives in Santa Marta; and
while the Roman Curia is infested with unpresentable characters who are notoriously
corrupt and heretical sodomites and fornicators. Bergoglian acolytes are distinguished
in this manner: the graver their crimes, the more prestigious the positions they hold.

In the face of this violation of the most elementary principles of justice and
governmental prudence, as well as the blatant determination of the highest levels of
the Hierarchy to act contra mentem legis, it is necessary that the Cardinals and
Bishops understand the very serious consequences of their complicit silence, and that
they courageously raise their voices in defense of the healthy part of the ecclesial
body. This duty is imposed by respect for the Catholic Truth which has been violated,
the honor of Holy Mother Church who has been humiliated by her own Prelates, and
the eternal salvation of souls which has been endangered by the words and action of
evil shepherds who are usurping an authority that does not belong to them but rather
to Christ the King and High Priest, the Head of the Mystical Body.

If serving the Church and defending the life of innocent creatures in this time of
apostasy constitutes a crime worthy of dismissal from the clerical state, while
promoting abortion and gender ideology and violating consecrated virgins is not
deemed liable to excommunication, then Father Pavone ought to consider this
shameful Vatican decision to be a source of pride, recalling Our Savior’s words:
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every manner of
evil against you falsely because of Me (Mt 5:11). And whoever has inculpated
themselves as an accomplice of this persecution against the good ought to tremble at
the thought of the judgement which awaits them. Deus non irridetur – God is not
mocked (Gal 6:7).
