The former nuncio’s intervention will change the American Church
On Saturday, the National Catholic Register published a “testimony” written by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the former apostolic nuncio to Washington, DC. Viganò (pictured) denounced what he described as a conspiracy at the highest levels of the Church to cover up Theodore McCarrick’s long history of sexual abuse. His claim that Pope Francis knew about the disgraced former cardinal’s past misconduct and yet restored him to active ministry dominated headlines around the world.
