The Road From LaStorta.

He said any sanctions were “private” ie, they wouldn’t be in the files you’re calling for. Sorry, to me it seems that the narrative that you’ve espoused just doesn’t seem to hold up. We all want truth, I just don’t think it’s down the rabbit hole you’ve gone down.

@gregorykhillis 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.

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

RT @jdflynn: 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.

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.
