Last summer’s celebrity ecclesiastical whistleblower, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, is back in the news. On July 3, LifeSite published excerpts omitted from a Washington Post report of a lengthy email interview with Viganò. A note had accompanied the Post’s story, informing readers: “Selected passages containing unverified allegations have been removed.”
In the now published remarks, Viganò spoke about two cases, both of which had already appeared in media reports.
The first case Viganò mentioned concerned the Preseminario Pio X, a minor seminary built inside Vatican City in the 1950s, with a bequest from the Diocese of Como, for the promotion of vocations to the priesthood. The students of the institution serve Masses in St Peter’s Basilica.
