Reviewing The Facts
If one is going to make accusations against someone, especially if it is the Pope, he/she should at least provide some substantial evidence. That is the problem with the Vigano letter. There was no evidence attached to it. Keep in mind these simple facts.Archbishop Vigano claimed that Pope Benedict XVI sanctioned Cardinal McCarrick in 2009; however, he provided no document of that sanction. Instead, he claimed that the sanctions were "private." Life Site News reported:
“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.”Because Archbishop Vigano claimed that the sanctions were "private" then naturally, he could not bring forth any written documents on it. Nevermind the fact, that he also never explained how he came to know about a "private" sanction that was levied by the Pope on McCarrick in a "private" meeting.
At any rate, Archbishop Vigano also did not produce any documents showing that Pope Francis lifted the sanctions. So, where is the written document saying that Pope Francis lifted the "private" sanctions? Or was the lifting of the sanctions by Pope Francis also supposed to be a "private" affair?
On the other side, media was able to compile photographs and video clippings of Cardinal McCarrick celebrating Mass, ordaining priests, and participating in many ceremonies. Some of these photographs and video clippings include Archbishop Vigano and Pope Benedict XVI participating in the same ceremony as Cardinal McCarrick. We also have Archbishop Georg Ganswein, the personal aide of Pope emeritus Benedict XVI coming forward with testimony saying that Vigano's letter was rubbish.
These are the facts. Pope Francis told journalists to study the Vigano letter because it reveals itself for what it really is. The news media who studied it carefully have found that the letter had very little to do with the sex abuse scandal.
The good thing that came out of the Vigano letter is that the Church is now questioning the accusation made by Archbishop Vigano. The Church is now in a position to question all accusations rather than believe all accusations to be true. According to Catholic News Agency (the bold is mine):
“The questions raised deserve answers that are conclusive and based on evidence. Without those answers, innocent men may be tainted by false accusation and the guilty may be left to repeat sins of the past,” wrote DiNardo.There were many falsely accused priests such as Father Joseph Jiang and Father Kevin Reynolds who were ignored by their bishops. Even Father Gordon MacRae continues to fight for justice without any support from his own bishop. How sad that it took an accusation against the Pope by a prominent bishop for the Church to finally question the allegations.
