Read the full text of Vigano’s statement in Lifesite News. DONT just pick out the statement he wears the accusation with a badge of honor. He explains himself more deeply, IN HIS OWN WORDS!

4th Commandment "Honor your Mother and Father". The Holy Father is our Spiritual Father here on earth as given to us by Jesus Christ Himself.

Can he be excommunicated and right on the issues at the same time?

You do a great job. Thank you, JD.

Dear Joseph. Glory to God, and thank you for your efforts and dedication to Catholic apologetics, and tackling hard issues head on. It is very refreshing to see new, young, zealous, and faithful members of the Church use their gifts and talents to evangelise and promote rigorous orthodox teaching from reliable sources, expanding on those and sharing both their fruits and consequences. We live in disturbing times. The family, the self, the priesthood, the Magisterium, and the very nature of what is right and good, are all under attack, even within the Church herself. Let us cling to Christ, our Father, and the balm of the Spirit. Let us chew on His words in Mt 16, recognise that he chose and ordained even the worst sinners from among His most intimate group, and uses even disordered men to fulfil His Will. My prayers go with you!

“We must fight for the church not against it.”

Thankfully Matt Fradd checks himself now. He still throws seeds of division like catholics are infighting. No, all sensible and good catholics, completely stand with Pope Francis and everything he teaches cause we submit our will and intellect to the Holy Father and the Magesterium. He is completely clear to us.

The New Martin Luther

The Pope, Bishop of Rome and Peter’s successor, “is the perpetual and visible source and foundation of the unity both of the bishops and of the whole company of the faithful . For the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as *Vicar of Christ* , and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church (pope is *plenipotentiary* means "fullness of power"), a power which he can always exercise unhindered". "pope cannot be a heretic" is the centuries old teaching of the catholic church. Vigano forgotten the oath he took in his ordination... The oath of obedience... This is the reason for Vigano's excommunication.

People would be better off reading the Catechism and actually understanding theb position of their own church, instead of blaming Vatican 2.

Martin Luther taught that we should embrace excommunication and Vigano had this in his manifesto. I believe it was item 24.

Thanks for explaining this situation

What message does it send when priest who have done much worse go unpunished? It says that tradition is the only sin punished by the Vatican. The dogma of the Papacy is the weakness of the Roman Church.

Our Lord told us that the spirit will guide the church to truth. I can't understand why all the fuss about "traditions" that doesn't have anything to do with dogmas. The gates of hell will not prevail against it. 2000 years and counting.

JD Catholic gave a great example with the teacher when we stand before God at judgment" that's not fair I wasn't nearly as disrespectful to my parents as my brother was I have to go to purgatory too!"

you can write to the Vatican but the Curia won't necessarily pass it on

A balanced summary, thankyou

As we know St Paul opposed St Peter to his face for his hypocrisy. Vigano is an Archbishop and has a duty to speak in accordance with his office and to call out abuses in the Church. Vigano has spoken immoderately and extremely. Yet the glaring failures, promotion of men whose moral and dissent fron dogma like Hollerich, Tobin, Sancheta, pro abortion members of the JPII institute of life, Tucho and removal of men like Sarah, Burke, Mueller, Pachamana, the promotion of ambiguity, homosexuality which feeds into decadence and clergy sexual corruption and the lavender mafia, the lifting of Rupnick's excommunication for sexual depravity and sacrilege on and on has all been the cause of Vigano's hostility. This pontificate has been a terrible one of a pooe who does not grasp his role and fosters corruption while claiming he doesn't. When opposition arises he doesn't listen but bullies and uses his claimed power to coerce. Vigano is a sign Pope Francis and the Modernists have crosses numerous lines. Joseph Ratzinger. In The Spirit of the Liturgy (2000), Ratzinger writes: "After the Second Vatican Council, the impression arose that the pope really could do anything in liturgical matters, especially if he were acting on the mandate of an ecumenical council. Eventually, the idea of the givenness of the liturgy, the fact that one cannot do with it what one will, faded from the public consciousness of the West. In fact, the First Vatican Council had in no way defined the pope as an absolute monarch. On the contrary, it presented him as the guarantor of obedience to the revealed Word. The pope’s authority is bound to the Tradition of faith, and that also applies to the liturgy. It is not “manufactured” by the authorities. Even the pope can only be a humble servant of its lawful development and abiding integrity and identity.... The authority of the pope is not unlimited; it is at the service of Sacred Tradition." Benedict XVI takes up the same theme in 2005, in his first papal homily at St. John Lateran: "The power that Christ conferred upon Peter and his Successors is, in an absolute sense, a mandate to serve. The power of teaching in the Church involves a commitment to the service of obedience to the Faith. The pope is not an absolute monarch whose thoughts and desires are law. On the contrary: the pope’s ministry is a guarantee of obedience to Christ and to his Word. He must not proclaim his own ideas, but rather constantly bind himself and the Church to obedience to God’s Word, in the face of every attempt to adapt it or water it down, and every form of opportunism. … The pope knows that in his important decisions, he is bound to the great community of faith of all times, to the binding interpretations that have developed throughout the Church’s pilgrimage. Thus, his power is not being above the Word of God, but at the service of it. It is incumbent upon him to ensure that this Word continues to be present in its greatness and to resound in its purity, so that it is not torn to pieces by continuous changes in usage." Pope Francis is a Pope who violates the above. He doesn't guard and pass on what numerous other popes has taught but distorts. While declaring popes illegitimate is beyond Catholics authority. Pope Francis has a great deal to answer for. I pray God may deliver us!

Pray pray pray. Pray for our Church and all the clergies. May God's will be done🙏

I drank the Viganò punch at first. Yes, he made many great points. But, in the end, his denial of Francis as Pope is excommunicable.

Throughout the ages within Tradition (true church) all the Holy popes reiterated the main premise against every heresy, "Teach nothing new" and "No (new) Innovations. "

Will Taylor Marshall swoop in and save him?

I am no bishop so I can not speak on a bishops stance, that judgement is between him and God and God has the ultimate say. What I do know for sure, is that there are dark powers at hand IN the Vatican and the Good and evil are both fighting for power ,essentially, over the Holy See. I wish I researched this earlier and more to make a complete decision on how I feel about Francis. What no one can doubt or neglect, is that Pope Benedict ordained A LOT of new good Cardinals from humbler, poorer nations to combat the evil,political, power hungry people at the highest levels…..he knew he was on the way out whether he liked it or not but he made sure the Church had a chance to persevere

I wonder what Master Jan Hus would have replied to the priest's statement about schism being bad while undergoing martyrdom. For every murderous inquisition there has always been a Hussite.

When I hear the claim of “what about the others…” it appears so adolescent and your analogy is spot on! Thank you!

One wonders why Francis would excommunicate anyone? In his 2/2/2022 papal audience he claimed "no one can exclude themselves from the Church" and that even apostates belong to the communion of saints. What does an excommunication from Francis mean?

All must submit to Rome

Great video! Shout stronger for the one on the back!

Little bit of schadenfreude for Matt Fradd too.

What happened to all the accompaniment Mercy and synodalty

We must demand the Vatican answer the questions and standing of Archbishop Vigano. JD do you know whats happening. When will you listen to what Vigano says?

vigano speaks in a prideful manner very similar to fr Altman. If they are ex communicated I would not disagree with the decision.

Idc about the vigano issue. But Francis is a way bigger issue for all Catholics. For God’s sake the man is abusing his power and trying to abrogate the old Mass, which of course he doesn’t have the authority to do. No priest needs permission to say the old Mass! Is Francis even Catholic??

Papa Francis W

Let us continue to pray for Pope Francis, the successor of St. Peter. May God give him good health and long life to lead the church.

So unfortunate....Saint Paul warns of Dissension several times & Christ our Lord prays in John 17 that we are to be one as the Lord Himself, the Son of God is One w/ the Father. Those who condemn or don't accept the Pope, they are Dissenting Protestants & not Catholic

The Only thing that Vigano has done is tell the truth its Francis and the other bishops with few exceptions that are causing confusion and Disunity. Vigano has done nothing wrong .

You are one of the best new Catholic channels on KZfaq. Appreciate you

"Devil" from the Greek diabolos can be translated as "to divide" or "to throw against". In contrast, Christ called us to UNITY, "that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me." Catholics must stay strong in our love of God and obedience to the Magesterium. Reject the arrogance and schism of self-appointed authorities who sow division in the Church!

When people say that schism and defiance is justified because of "complex times", run the other way. Schism is a sin. Such justification cannot be used for any sin. If a monk takes a vow of poverty, he cannot hoard gold because of the complexities of our times. Breaking his vow is considered a sacrilege in addition to greed. Likewise, the vow of obedience needs to be seen in the same light. Breaking it is a sacrilege. We cannot be asked to sin because we must be obedient to God first. But all these people breaking their vows have not been asked by their leaders to sin. They have fallen into a deception of self-righteousness and pride. God help them and us all.

I stand with the Vicar of Christ! Long Live Christ the KIng! Down with Schismatics!

What would a bishop expect to accomplish by going up against a pope? The bishop knows he doesn't have the same authority. So what is it supposed to lead to?

There have been many bishops who have asked privately for Pope Francis for clarity on many issues with no success. Very sad.

One question this video doesn't address is WHO is creating division? Because surely it matters, whether it is Archbishop Vigano or Pope Francis who has created division by making contradictory statements.

Archbishop Vigano has been excommunicated from THE BERGOLIAN CHURCH! No problem! He is still OUR Archbishop Vigano in the TRUE CATHOLIC CHURCH. WE IN AMERICA LOVE OUR ARCHBISHOP VIGANO!

Unfortunately my dad was caught up in Vigano's anti-globalist spiel and all his opinions that went against the covid narrative. That also included unsavory comments about Pope Francis to which my dad started to agree with.

The sensible catholic should stand firm with the legitimate successor of Saint Peter on whom Jesus built His Church rather than following a Martin Luther II.

As a non Catholic, I sort of disagree to an extent. I think there's an important concept of Equal Justice under the law, and if you're applying punishment to some, and not to others, for whatever reason (often it's political), then you lose a lot of legitimacy in the court of the public. Unless there's some obvious reason like "there's so many people committing this offense, we can only feasibly deal with a small percentage". Technically, it seems to me that the Bishop is clearly in the wrong, however, if they aren't excommunicating people for the same or similar offenses,then any curious and rational person will wonder why. Well... why?

Who believes we are in The End Times? What will happen in The End Times? One-World Religion? Does it look like The Holy Catholic Church is flailing? Should we be "concerned"? Is ABP Vigano "concerned" about this? Why?

Francis is undermining francis is

They are misusing the term Magisterium.

Is this a matter of accountability or bigotry? The magisterial authority of the Holy See is not intended to provide impunity in scandal.

This Pope condemns Vigano and everybody who stands for tradition but then turns around and praises James Martin, can you make sense of that?

Schism is worse than heresy.

I apparently have missed Vigano's denial of Francis being the Pope. If he has, I disagree with him on that. However, I disagree with JD and Fradd being okay with the double standards by Pope Francis where his buddies can promote evil but if you oppose his heretical statements you are penalized. Why are James Martin and Rupnik encouraged to promote and/or commit sin against the 6th Commandment and that is fine with Pope Francis? By supporting such sin, isn't such support itself sinful? One example of what looks like heresy by Pope Francis is when he said God wanted many religions. How can that be true when Jesus prayed for unity in His Church? Not a heresy, but how can Pope Francis claim Biden and Pelosy are "good Catholics" when they promote murder by abortion and IVF? Prayers for all the above!

Is Francis a heretic?

He can start his own church as a pastor outside the catholic; we don't care. You cannot be in Catholic and not recognize the leader Pope Francis.

Sadly, Pope Francis ingores the teachings of the "Catholic" religion while trying to stay politically correct. Choose Hot or Cold, but don't be luke warm. I have to stand with Vigano.

Nobody pretends everything is fine. Just like we should not pretend all is bad. The Church is the Body of Christ, which bears the sins of the world. And the worst thing we can do is to judge each other, but we need to call each other to the Gospel. Vigano has said many important things. But openly accusing the Pope as basically being satan or the like. Even as a conservative Catholic I have not sympathy for that.

In fifty years nobody will know who Vigano was but the Pope will be famous all over the world.

Sad to see your making a false claim that this decision came from the Majestiarium of the church, rather it came from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, this is a huge difference. The Majestiarium is the Bishops In communion with the Pope, the bishops collectively hold teaching authority. This includes bishops in their dioceses and as part of ecumenical councils. I need to call out non theologians make false statements.

St. Athanasius was also excommunicated. Now a saint.

You are mixing everything up

As a sensible Catholic, I plan to continue practicing my faith as usual at the present time. I do consider Pope Francis to be a wicked pope, but not the first wicked pope. The first in nearly 600 years. I have not been in the position of having to disobey the pope. I even obeyed the diosecan bishop when he said we could not enter the church building without an injection of a product of abortion. I stayed outside. I didn't want anybody to think I had taken that injection. So I can, perhaps, relate to Vigano's position. He may have more information about the legitimacy of Pope Francis than I do. At least he thinks he does. I might do the same in his position. I don't know.

How many years before we're all supposed to believe that married lesbian priestesses are allowed by the Magisterium?

You are an excellent Catholic podcaster and I always appreciate you content and introspection!

I stand with Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano. The church has been captured by the AC.

There is 1 Pope at any 1 time. Vigano should know where he belongs, but perhaps he may be trying to break up the Church.

Taylor Marshall needs to be the next one who is ex communicated.

“If a future Pope teaches anything contrary to the Catholic Faith, do not follow him.” Pope Pius IX

Taylor Marshall is doing the church a disservice with his YT channel

"Get behind me, Vigano" Matthew 16 verse 23

Francis loves schismatics. He allows them to say mass in his cathedral and has a statue of Martin Luther

The question is, Is Pope Francis a legitimate pope? Is his Magisterium legitimate? To be excommunicated on invalid authority is not a true excommunication. 😊😊😊

I've replaced my prayer for Francis with a prayer for Archbishop Vigano.

Great to see the cult splintering yet again. It's always fun when not one of these failures can show that their version is any better than the rest.

Like the cults, the roman catholic fears the internet because rome cannot keep its sins out of the public eye.
