Yes to this. I’ve lived both extremes, strong clericalism in Rome and what @MassimoFaggioli calls “laicalism” in higher ed in the US . We are, and need to be, the people of God together on the way helping each other, not two separate factions. https://t.co/tGiYvovfnT

One thing that we’re not paying enough attention to in all of the #Vigano morass is the role that #pope #saint #jpii had in creating this situation. The #elevation of #McCarrick to the college of #cardinals was his call. Even saints make mistakes, so let’s be honest about it.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) August 27, 2018
Francis’s response to crude Viganò putsch is very astute. He knows the claims will fall apart as journalists probe, and that the true motives behind it will be brought into the light. https://t.co/xGe3HeBMjN

May 2, 2012: Vigano greets guests on behalf of Benedict XVI at Pontifical Mission Societies gala honoring McCarrick! https://t.co/48qgqEVclU This is well *after* Vigano alleges B16 sanctioned McCarrick. His letter deserves careful scrutiny. @jdflynn @roccopalmo @AmericanPapist pic.twitter.com/IwxGaDmTNa

But, to be clear, said ascent took place under JPII, which isn’t the narrative that Vigano, or those who support him, are interested in promoting.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) August 27, 2018
#PopeFancis has never defended himself against the accusations (for example at the time of the dictatorship or previously). Nor does he boast merit (as in the case of aid to those persecuted by the dictatorship) because he *knows* that sooner or later the thruth will surface.

If ever there was a day to skip it, this was likely it. Vigano’s timing was all about the press conference. Perhaps it’s better for the pope to get home and sort this out before making a statement to the press.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) August 26, 2018
The canons on this sort of sensationalism are important to keep in mind in light of the Vigano case, and as we wait for the release of the Papal press conference Post-Ireland. https://t.co/CkyK9bf7kf
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) August 26, 2018
One point worth noting for clarity: Vigano does not say that Francis had knowledge of McCarrick’s alleged abuse of minors. While that may seem like a small point, it is not immaterial.

I can say that I am aware that some of the things that he implies in it are false. Though that’s a conversation best left off of Twitter.

Vigano has opposed #popeFrancis from the beginning, and caused Francis trouble during the US visit 3 years ago. I can’t necessarily speak to the truth of what he says, but one also has to consider the source on this particular story. https://t.co/GHMv7UlmRw

“You should know that you have not suffered alone, for you are the church; you are the People of god; you are Jesus, in the here and now.” St Oscar Romero, pray for the Church, the faithful people, who have suffered because of some in the hierarchy.
