The former Nuncio to the USA, Msgr. Carlo Maria Viganò, the number one enemy of Pope Francis, to whom he came to ask for his resignation a few years ago, returns to be talked about. In a video broadcast by 'Di Tuesday' on La7 he denied the existence of Covid, speaking of a "psycho-pandemic". "The regime media", according to the archbishop, "are systematically silent" on the fact that "they have deceived us for almost two years by telling us things that did not correspond to reality" and goes so far as to say that "they deliberately killed the infected to make us accept masks, lockdown, curfew ". And therefore people do well to protest, indeed "we woke up a little late", says the prelate. "May God forgive him", comments in the heat of the show Bruno Vespa.While Massimo Giannini defines him as "a scoundrel".
And the indignation of the Vatican arrives:
"In Italy we have had over 130 thousand deaths, some millions in the world. The world economy is in great difficulty, hundreds of thousands of people have lost their jobs. How can you say that the pandemic does not exist?". Thus the President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, Msgr. Vincenzo Paglia, comments on the words of the former Nuncio. Monsignor Paglia is among the people who are fighting the most, in the wake of Pope Francis' words, for whom getting vaccinated is "an act of love", so that access to vaccines is guaranteed all over the world. In this sense also the recent visits to Latin America and above all to one of the most tormented lands in the world: Haiti. "Those who deny the pandemic - says Paglia - deny that the world has dramatically and profoundly changed in these two years anda profound economic, political, social and moral renewal is needed to give justice, access to health, starting with vaccines, and guarantee the protection of life across the board "." For me, as a Catholic archbishop, the Pope's encyclical 'Brothers All' which shows us the high road for a new humanity that is about to emerge from this crisis ", underlines Paglia.
Viganò is the 'champion' of the more conservative Church which has a great following especially in the United States
.
A few days ago he wrote a letter to the American Bishops' Conference inviting them to distance themselves from the Holy See which fights so much for vaccines and called the vaccination campaign "a satanic action against God".
Among the no-vaxes there are also several cardinals: among them the American Raymond Leo Burke who still pays the consequences of Covid, after ending up in resuscitation.
