Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s excommunication for schism, officially declared on July 4, did not come as a surprise to anyone who has followed the archbishop’s incendiary comments over the last several years. Still, few would have predicted that an archbishop, a career diplomat with more than 40 years of service to the Holy See, who had once held the number-two position in the Vatican City-State’s government, would fall so far out of favor with the church.
Archbishop Viganò was tried and found guilty of breaking communion with the pope and those who submit to him—the official definition of schism in canon law—and of denying the legitimacy of the Second Vatican Council. Further penalties could be imposed, the Vatican’s decision on Viganò said, if “prolonged contumacy or the gravity of the scandal so requires.” It specifically named dismissal from the priesthood as one of the possible outcomes.
In a new deep dive episode of America’s “Inside the Vatican” podcast, I spoke with Vatican journalists who know Viganò’s story well and with canonical and historical experts to understand the archbishop’s trajectory from Vatican civil servant to excommunicant, and how his rejection of Vatican II fits into the ongoing conflict among Catholics over the reception of Vatican II.

Low Hanging Fruit: Part Two. Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganó burst into international prominence in August of with the public release of his now infamous letter concerning what the Vatican knew about the sexual exploits of Cardinal “call me uncle Ted” McCarrick. It was a damning letter filled with all kinds of accusations, most of which were later corroborated as true or, at the very least, very close to the truth with allowances made for discrepancies in personal memories of events. In the letter he accused Pope Francis of both rehabilitating McCarrick, despite knowing of his sexual abuse, and of later covering it up. He concludes by calling on Pope Francis to resign the papacy.
I supported Vigano in his original ascent to fame with this open letter concerning the McCarrick affair. As a young seminarian in the early 80’s I had heard from some of my fellow seminarians whose bishop was McCarrick that he had, what they called, “zipper issues.” Furthermore, in , after one of my appearances on the Fox news program “The O’Reilly Factor” (I had become a regular guest theologian to discuss the sexual abuse scandal) I was told by Bill O’Reilly that he and his staff were investigating rumors surrounding a “leading east coast Cardinal.” I said to him
