Archbishop Vigano's Response
Pope Francis told reporters to search for the truth. As you already know in my last post, many news media did just that. Many photos and video clippings of McCarrick with Archbishop Vigano and Pope Benedict XVI were compiled. These photos and video clippings brought doubt to the Archbishop's letter. Some news reporters finally caught up with Archbishop Vigano and questioned him about the photos and video clippings. He gave a response to Life Site news, which is found here.These are the problems with Archbishop Vigano's response and it only brings more questions and even doubts.
1. Archbishop Vigano stated that the reason no one can find any documents on the sanction was because the sanctions were "private". Here is the problem with this response: If it was "private", then how did Vigano come to know about it? The only sanctions on McCarrick known to the entire world was on June 20, 2018. These sanctions were placed by Pope Francis. Furthermore, McCarrick said something to the reporters when they questioned him about the video clipping of him with McCarrick. Vigano was quoted by Life Site news:
“I could not say, “What are you doing here?” he said. “Can you imagine? Nobody knows (about the sanctions), it was a private meeting (when they were levied by Benedict). So this video didn’t prove anything.”Exactly, my point. Vigano admitted that nobody knew about the sanctions because the sanctions were given by the pope in a "private" meeting with Cardinal McCarrick. So, how did he (Vigano) know about this "private" sanction given in a "private" meeting between McCarrick and the Pope? Was he in that "private" meeting? I do not think the reporters caught that statement from Vigano at that moment otherwise they would have asked him how he came about to know about a "private" sanction made in a "private" meeting.
2. His reason for not saying anything while participating in the ceremony with Cardinal McCarrick was because a) nobody knew about the "private" sanctions and b) as a nuncio, he felt he was not in a position to enforce the sanctions by telling McCarrick that he should not be there. According to the article:
Viganó reiterated in the interview that he had spoken with McCarrick about the restrictions Benedict had put upon him, but that as nuncio he did not have authority to enforce those restrictions.
“I was not in the position of enforcing,” Viganó told LifeSiteNews, “especially because the measures (sanctions) given to McCarrick (were made) in a private way. That was the decision of Pope Benedict.”So, what is wrong with this picture? Or should I say what is wrong with his statement? He spoke with McCarrick about "private" restrictions which the Pope placed on him in a "private" meeting and then claimed that he was in no position of enforcing sanctions that were given to McCarrick in a "private" way. Exactly, how "private" were these restrictions that he had information to?
3. Regarding all the photos and video clippings of McCarrick that were compiled, the only excuse that Archbishop Vigano gave was that Cardinal McCarrick disobeyed the "private" sanctions. Nevertheless, there are also news clippings and video clips of Cardinal McCarrick praising Pope Benedict and claiming obedience to him. According to news report:
“Pope Benedict is a wonderful man, and was a good friend of mine before he became pope,” McCarrick said. “But he was anxious to bring the church back to where he thought it should be, and I guess I wasn’t one of those who he thought would help him on that. I would have obviously done what he asked.”Regarding what Pope Francis said about the letter, BBC reports:
He said he would not say a single word in response to the 11-page letter from Archbishop Vigano.
"I will say sincerely that I must say this, to you," he said, when asked by a journalist about the letter, "and all of you who are interested: Read the document carefully and judge it for yourselves.
"I will not say one word on this. I think the statement speaks for itself.".........
"You have sufficient journalistic capacity to draw conclusions," Pope Francis told the reporters on board his plane.
"When a little time has passed and you have the conclusions, perhaps I will talk," he added.
