– In a recently published exchange of letters with a cloistered nun,
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò argues that the Second Vatican Council is
at the root of the current grave challenges embroiling the Church and
the world, including the crisis developing out of the coronavirus
pandemic. <span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)"><b>The former Apostolic Nuncio to</b><b><span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)"> the </span>United States says
recognizing Vatican II’s role is essential to fighting the Church’s
enemies today.</b></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>“I believe that the essential point for effectively
conducting a spiritual, doctrinal and moral battle against the enemies
of the Church is the persuasion that the present crisis is the
metastasis of the conciliar cancer,” he wrote in a letter dated May 29.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>“If we have not understood <span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)"><b>the causal relationship
between Vatican II and its logical and necessary consequences over the
course of the last sixty years,</b></span>” Viganò said, “it will not be possible
to steer the rudder of the Church back to the direction given it by her
Divine Helmsman, the course that it maintained for two thousand years.”</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)"><b>Following the Second Vatican Council,</b></span> Viganò said,
<span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)"><b>“they catechized us<span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)"> </span></b></span><span style="background-color:rgb(249,203,156)"><b><span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)">with the hateful phrase</span> ‘there is no going back’
</b></span><span style="background-color:rgb(255,242,204)"><b>with regard to the Liturgy, the Faith, moral teaching, penance,
asceticism.”</b></span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Now, “we hear the same expressions slavishly repeated
in the civil sphere, through which the attempt is made to indoctrinate
the masses that ‘nothing will be as it was before.’”</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Thus, according to the former Apostolic Nuncio,
<span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)"><b>“Modernism and Covid-19 are part of the same brand.</b></span>” For people having
“their gaze towards the transcendent it is not difficult to understand
that the greatest fear of those who want us to believe that the race
towards the abyss is both unavoidable and unstoppable is that we will
not believe them, ignore them, and unmask their conspiracy.”</span></p>

Viganò had released an “Appeal for the Church and the world to
Catholics and all people of good will,</b></span>” <span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)"><b>which was also signed by
Cardinal Gerhard Müller, former Prefect of the Congregation for the
Doctrine of the Faith, and several other cardinals and bishops.</b></span></div></div></form></div></div>
<p dir="ltr"><span>In it, he said<span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)"><b> there is “reason to believe, on the
basis of official data on the incidence of the epidemic </b></span>as related to
the number of deaths, that there are powers interested in creating panic
among the world’s population with the sole aim of permanently imposing
unacceptable forms of restriction on freedoms, of controlling people and
of tracking their movements. <span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)"><b>The imposition of these illiberal measures
is a disturbing prelude to the realization of a world government beyond
all control.”</b></span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Following the publication of the Appeal, a cloistered
religious sister, who remains unnamed, reached out to the archbishop.
Both Viganò’s response and the religious sister’s initial letter were
first published by Italian journalist and Vatican expert </span><a href="https://www.marcotosatti.com/2020/05/31/a-cloistered-sister-writes-to-vigano-the-two-letters/" target="_blank">Marco Tosatti</a>. They are reproduced in full below.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The archbishop also mentioned in his May 29 letter
“the epochal clash between Good and Evil, between the sons of Light and
the sons of Darkness.”</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Without naming names, he called out “<span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)"><b>the top levels
of the Hierarchy” for “openly placing themselves at the service of the
Prince of this world, adopting the demands made by the United Nations
for the globalist agenda, Masonic brotherhood, Malthusian ecologism,
immigrationism.”</b></span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>He argued that “<span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)"><b>a single world religion without<span style="background-color:rgb(255,242,204)"> </span></b></span><span style="background-color:rgb(255,242,204)"><b>

being created.</b></span> Speaking of Pope Francis, Viganò said “it is obvious that
Bergoglio, along with those who are behind him and support him, aspires
to preside over this infernal parody of the Church of Christ.”</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>“Behold how openly the proponents of world government
and the élites who want to impose their tyranny on the peoples may now
be seen; behold how, along with them, a <span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)"><b>neo-paganism is also openly
revealing itself as the religious arm of this tyranny, defined by some
as green apostasy</b></span>,” he wrote.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Beyond abandonment to Jesus Christ and Our Lady,
Viganò also had a practical suggestion as “our duty, today.” He called
on people who already understand the problems within the Church and the
world “to open the eyes of many people, both clergy and religious, who
have not yet put together the overall picture, limiting themselves to
looking at reality only in a partial and disjointed way.”</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Viganò is confident that “[a]s soon as we have helped them to understand the mechanism, they will understand everything else.”</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>“It </span>is [emphasis in the original] possible to
go back, dear Sister,” the archbishop concluded his letter, “it is
possible to do so in such a way that <span style="background-color:rgb(255,242,204)"><b>the good that</b></span> <span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)"><b>was fraudulently

where he was living, he was forbidden to celebrate [Mass] in public, to
participate in public meetings, to give lectures, to travel, with the
obligation of dedicating himself to a life of prayer and penance.”</span></p>
