Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has warned American Catholics that they face a clear choice in this election between “democracy and dictatorship, between freedom and slavery.”
In an open letter, the fiery archbishop, who was recently excommunicated for his criticism of the Pope, praises Donald Trump for seeking “the common good and the protection of the fundamental freedoms of citizens,” and excoriate his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he calls an “infernal monster who obeys Satan.”
“On the other side we have a candidate and a party that promotes everything that directly opposes the Faith and Morals of the Catholic Church.
“In Kamala Harris’ America, Catholics—but also Protestants—are considered fundamentalists to be marginalized and eliminated, and their children are considered the property of the State, which arrogates to itself the right to lead them astray from an early age in both body and soul.”
Viganò rails at length against the assault of Americans by the left and the Biden-Harris regime: the destruction of America’s cities with crime and drugs; the indoctrination of children from kindergarten onwards; the prosecution of ordinary Americans for new “ideological crimes”; iniquities of Big Pharma and medical tyranny; surveillance and censorship; the climate-change agenda and more.
“You have seen what the Democrats, that is, the woke far Left, have been capable of in four years. Imagine what they will be able to do if, instead of Biden’s numerous stand-ins, his Vice President is elected – in the most scandalous and unimaginable fraud – with her entourage of LGBTQ+ Ministers, rigorously woke, sold out to China or the World Economic Forum, sponsored by George Soros or Bill Gates, manipulated by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.”
Viganò warns that the left is following the same “anti-human,” “anti-Christian” playbook it always follows, wherever it controls the government.
“Do not think that these are remote hypotheses: wherever the woke Left takes power, it establishes the most vicious, anti-human, and anti-Christian dictatorship that humanity has ever known. And we know that every time the Left has come to power, it has never left through democratic means.”
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the archbishop adds, offer two radically different visions of the future for America.
“Donald Trump and Kamala Harris: we are not talking about two visions that are a bit different but still part of the normal political back-and-forth.
“No; we are talking about two diametrically opposed and irreconcilable worlds, in which Trump fights against the deep state and is committed to freeing America from its tentacled grip, while on the opposite side we have a corrupt and blackmailed candidate, an organic part of the deep state , who acts as a puppet in the hands of warmongers like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, of self-proclaimed ‘philanthropists’ like the criminals George Soros and Klaus Schwab, or of characters like Jeffrey Epstein and Sean Combs.”
Viganò says that Trump is “the only possible choice to counter the globalist coup that the woke left is about to implement definitively, irreparably, and with incalculable damage for future generations.”
“I repeat: the choice is between a conservative President, who is paying with his very life for his fight against the deep state, and an infernal monster who obeys Satan.
“For a Catholic, there can be no question: voting for Kamala Harris is morally inadmissible and constitutes a very serious sin. Nor is it morally possible to abstain, because in this war declaring oneself neutral means allying oneself with the enemy.”
Viganò has been a staunch critic of the corruption of the Catholic Church, and in particular its current Pope, Francis. In 2018, Viganò released a dossier accusing the current Pope of knowing about allegations of abuse of trainee priests by the former cardinal of Washington DC, Theodore McCarrick, and doing nothing to prevent it. The Pope was cleared of these charges after an internal Vatican inquiry.
Viganò has been particularly critical of the Pope’s support of what he calls “climate fraud,” for his support for COVID-19 vaccination and social restrictions during the pandemic, and for attempting to promote an “inclusive, immigrationist, eco-sustainable, and gay-friendly” Church.
He has also been vocal in his support of Donald Trump against his globalist opponents. In October of 2020, he wrote an open letter to Trump, saying that “The fate of the whole world is being threatened by a global conspiracy against God and humanity.” The mainstream media seized upon this letter to denounce Viganò as a “Q-anon conspiracy theorist.”
