Archbishop Vigano Found Guilty of Schism and Excommunicated by Order of Pope Francis
Jul 5, 2024, 11:56 AM
Italian Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, a fierce ultra-conservative critic of Pope Francis, has been found guilty of schism and excommunicated by the Vatican. The Vatican's doctrinal office, Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, declared the 'latae sententiae excommunication' after concluding a trial on July 4. Vigano, a former papal envoy, had branded Pope Francis a 'false prophet' and a 'servant of Satan.' The excommunication was ordered by Pope Francis. The Vatican announced the decision on July 5.
