Vatican report reveals omissions in Archbishop Vigano’s ‘testimony’

I have been pretty clear from the get-go that I did not trust Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano the way not a few should have known better who frequently raised his name as some all-certified shibboleth in years past did. Rather than spell it out anew at this time, I will put in a footnote{1} links to prior postings where his material was touched on in varying degrees of detail.

The release of the long awaited McCarrick Report has no shortage of interesting material in it but among the most interesting is a signal failure of Archbishop Vigano in late 2012 to initiate an investigation as requested by Cardinal Marc Ouellet of the Congregation of Bishops.{2} This and other oversights by Archbishop Vigano listed in the McCarrick Report provide ample vindication of my prior enunciated positions on Vigano.

Notes:

{1} I went over in detail a couple of years ago the red flag that from the outset poisoned the well in my eyes where Vigano's credibility was concerned. Subsequent testimony installments of his or responses of other clerics to installments of his did not acquit him any better to put it nicely.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

[Lt. Col. John McCrae (1872 – 1918)]

I may have more to say on this subject after familiarizing myself more with the contents of the report.
