Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 A former Vatican ambassador to the United States has alleged in an 11-page letter that Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis — among other top Catholic Church officials — had been aware of sexual misconduct allegations against a top American cardinal years before that prelate resigned this summer. The letter from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who was recalled from his D.C. post in 2016 amid allegations that he’d become embroiled in the conservative American fight against same-sex marriage, was first reported by the National Catholic Register and LifeSite News, two conservative Catholic sites. The letter offered no proof and Viganò on Sunday told the Post he wouldn’t comment further. Link to the letter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I mean, it wouldn't be remotely surprising if true. It would be more surprising if the top didn't know about a lot of sexual misconduct at various levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 I've read the letter and its a brilliant piece of political manuvering by the Church's right-wing in its ongoing war with Francis I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
