PURPOSE
The purpose of this guest document is to expose the hidden hand
of Opus Dei in the Viganò affair and the role that the Prelature
has played in bringing the affair to world-wide attention with such
astonishing speed and continuity and why.
INTRODUCTION
This is the fourth and concluding installment of my (Randy Engel's)
series on
Archbishop John C. Nienstedt and Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò,
the
Papal Nuncio to the United States from 2011 to 2016, whose name, by
this
time, is recognizable by most Catholics in the pews as the author of
the
eleven-page, “time bomb” testimony
released on August 25, 2018, on the
moral corruption in the Church (2).
I believe Viganò’s initial testimony is essentially correct
in
confirming the existence of a massive hierarchical and clerical
homosexual “collective” that operates within and without the Vatican,
as well as in key dioceses around the world. I documented that very
same collective in the United States and the Vatican 12 years ago in "The
Rite of Sodomy – Homosexuality and the Roman Catholic Church" in
which more than 40 homosexual/pederast members of the Catholic
hierarchy were identified.
However, there are at least two major deficiencies that I find
most disconcerting about the Viganò August testimony which I
would like
to mention here.
First, as far as “truth-telling” in the McCarrick case is
concerned, the full truth is that Cardinal McCarrick is a
third generation homosexual predator, the first
and second generation of leaders in this particular line being
homosexual Cardinal Francis Spellman of New York and his successor,
homosexual Cardinal Terence Cooke.
This means that Viganò’s timetable is hopelessly flawed, as
the
rise of the homosexual network in the Roman Catholic Church dates back
almost 100 years, ten
decades before Francis came on the scene and
before the “Uncle Teddy” (McCarrick) scandal hit the streets.
Second, Viganò ends his initial testimony with the
admonition:
“Let us heed the most powerful message St. John Paul II left us as an
inheritance: Do not be afraid! Do not be afraid!”
BACKGROUND
Are we talking about
the same John Paul II who defended to the
death the notorious serial pederast Cardinal Hans Groër, O.S.B.
Archbishop of Vienna, who claimed an estimated 2,000 victims (yes, two
thousand!) during his long clerical career? And lest we forget,
are we talking about the
same John Paul II, during whose pontificate of more than 26 years, the
most vile and salacious “sex initiation” programs - programs which
attack body, mind, and soul - were visited upon countless innocent
parochial school children?
With specific reference to McCarrick, the record of John Paul II
is chiseled in stone:
- He appointed McCarrick bishop of Metuchen, NJ on November 19,
1981.
- He appointed McCarrick archbishop of Newark, NJ on May 30, 1986
by which time it was common knowledge among New Jersey priests that
McCarrick was a sexual predator.
- He appointed McCarrick archbishop of Washington, D.C. on
November 21, 2000.
- He elevated McCarrick to the cardinalate on February 21, 2001.
When it comes to blame regarding the ascendency of “Uncle Teddy”
(McCarrick)
up the clerical ladder, it’s clear that the main culprit was John Paul
II and not Francis.
Did Viganò write this because he concluded that these facts
about
John Paul II have disappeared down “the memory hole”? Was Viganò
blinded by the fact he himself was ordained a bishop by John Paul II
after being appointed Apostolic Pro-Nuncio to Nigeria? So why does
Viganò think he can give Pope John Paul II a free pass?
And speaking of free passes, Viganò mentions the names of
several
homosexual cardinals and bishops, but fails to identify them as such,
including Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the catamite of the late Cardinal John
Wright. It would have been very timely for Viganò to heap coals
upon
Francis’ head for the pope’s unbridled praise of Wuerl when the
cardinal archbishop of Washington, D.C. retired on October 12, 2018,
but so far, he hasn’t done that.
However, the real question that I will address in this article is:
In what way is Opus Dei
behind Vigano’s actions? For instance, given
the aforementioned accolade to John Paul II, could he be acting in
deference to Opus Dei’s desire to continue the myth of “John Paul the
Great?” Or is there another Opus Dei purpose behind this?
This article is not a detailed review of Viganò’s original
testimony, nor his second testimony of September 29, 2018, symbolically
released on the feast day of the archangels, Saint Michael, Saint
Rafael and Saint Gabriel - the patrons of the different fields of
apostolate that make up Opus Dei - nor his third testimony which was
recently published on October 19, 2018. Nor is this article a
regurgitation of Viganò’s Statement on the Archbishop Nienstedt
controversy which has already been refuted in Part III of this
series (3).
The former nuncio has not as
yet replied to my September 12, 2018, challenge of his interpretation
of events surrounding the Nienstedt homosexual scandal.
Rather, this article is an in-depth look at the hidden hand of
Opus Dei in the Viganò affair and the role that the
Prelature
has
played in bringing the affair to world-wide attention with such
astonishingly speed and continuality. The Viganò affair is not a
matter
of the usual slow Vatican “leaks,” but a carefully orchestrated and
coordinated “tsunami” of “The Work,” which acts in secret and
hides
behind its unidentified members and “apostolates.”
DETAILS
Thus far, this writer (Randy Engel) has concretely documented that
that
Viganò’s
top two ghost writers (4)
have serious connections to Opus Dei as has the
official translator of Viganò’s public works.
I have also demonstrated the connection between the American and
Italian publications that brought Viganò’s initial and
continuing
complaints to the attention of the American and Italian Catholic
population.
But there are important pieces of the Viganò/Opus Dei puzzle
that
are still missing.
For example, we do not yet know the exact nature of Viganò’s
relationship with Opus Dei, when that relationship began, who initiated
that relationship, the extent of the role Opus Dei has played thus far
in his media campaign against Vatican “corruption”, and if Opus Dei has
provided Viganò with any information and documentation on the
past and
current sexual abuse scandals currently rocking the Holy See.
Of course, the reason that we don’t know the answer to these
questions is because Viganò, the champion of transparency, has,
so far,
kept this information on Opus Dei secret from us.
The only thing we do know about that
relationship is that it has been “friendly,” at least in the past.
According to Opus Dei records, when he was Papal Nuncio in the U.S.,
Viganò was the main celebrant of a Mass for Opus Dei’s founder,
Josemaría Escrivá, on his feast day, June 26, at the
Cathedral of Saint
Matthew the Apostle in Washington, D.C.
A Little Humility Please
Another comment on Viganò’s alleged transparency: I think it
would be
somewhat refreshing and salutary for the former nuncio to acknowledge
the fact that others have blazed the trail in bringing the Homosexual
Collective to the attention of Catholics. He and his Opus Dei writers
could in humble honesty stop pretending his pronouncement against
sodomy and pederasty are somehow new and visionary.
Such a pronouncement was dramatically positioned in Viganò’s
third
testimony of October 19, 2018. He opens with his repeated claim that he
desires only “to bear witness to corruption in the hierarchy of the
Catholic Church”, even though it has been and remains a “painful
decision”. He then repeats his condemnation of the “plague” of
homosexuality. “It is hypocrisy to refuse to acknowledge that this
scourge is due to a serious crisis in the spiritual life of the clergy
and to fail to take the steps necessary to remedy it”, Viganò
says.
Of course, this is exactly what Saint Peter Damian said in his
magnificent treatise on clerical sodomy, the "Book of Gomorrah" written
in 1049. That’s nearly 1,000 years ago! And Father Enrique Rueda
wrote in his classic text, "The Homosexual Network - Private Lives
and Public Policy" written in 1982. That’s 36 years ago!
And my own 1300-page study, "The Rite of Sodomy - Homosexuality
and
the Roman Catholic Church" published in 2006. That was 12
years ago!
So, Viganò is really a Johnny-come-lately with regard to the
very
real dangers posed by the Homosexual Collective, whenever and wherever
it has raised its head in civilized society. Some of the names and the
faces of homosexual Vatican prelates mentioned in his testimonies may
be new to some, but the tails that have bound them together to their
Master, have been recognizable down through the centuries. And the
Master’s name is Satan.
Coming Full Circle with Nienstedt
Since the Viganò and Opus Dei circus-like exposé on
the
scene last August, there has been a nagging question in my mind related
to Viganò’s motivation in mounting his anti-homosexual and
anti-Francis
media campaign.
Certainly, Viganò has placed a well-deserved albatross around
Francis’ stiff, modernist neck for which he deserves credit.
But let us not forget that Viganò continues to carry an
albatross
around his own neck in the person of Archbishop
John C. Nienstedt, formerly of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and
Minneapolis and the Napa Institute of Irvine, California.
Now if Viganò can plainly see the gross moral splinter in
McCarrick’s eye and is demanding his pound of flesh from Francis on the
cover-up of McCarrick’s homosexual/pederast, why has Viganò
failed to
see that same-sized splinter in Nienstedt’s eye?
The reader will remember Viganò’s two-page Nienstedt memo
that the
former Vatican emissary sandwiched in between his first and second
testimonies.
That would have been the perfect opportunity to make amends for
having interfered in the archdiocesan investigation of Archbishop
Nienstedt in April 2014. And it would have demonstrated that
Viganò is
sincere in his attempt to purge the Catholic hierarchy of homosexual
predators. After all, Nienstedt was charged with the same delicts as
McCarrick including the sexual solicitation of seminarians.
But Viganò didn’t do this. He did just the opposite.
Why then the
selective outrage? Why
is McCarrick a “monster” and
Nienstedt not?
CONCLUSION
by the guest author - Randy Engel
In closing, I’d like to state that if anyone believes that my
criticism of Archbishop Carlos Viganò is somehow a maneuver to
let
Francis off the hook for his many moral and doctrinal trespasses
against the Catholic faith, I would highly recommend a thorough reading
of my open letter to Francis titled “On a Papal Commission of Inquiry
into Homosexuality, Pederasty and La Lobby Gay in The
Catholic Church” released on November 9, 2013 (5).
This concluding article in the Nienstedt series reflects the
wisdom of the old adage that the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily
my friend. That is to say, the fact that the team of
Viganò and
Opus
Dei are issuing valid criticisms about Francis’s tragic and heretical
papacy does not make Viganò and Opus Dei a friend of Catholic
traditionalists.
In this account of the ongoing battle over corruption of the
Catholic Church, I leave the door open on the question as to whether or
not Viganò has been an innocent dupe or one of the cunning
“coordinators” in this planned media campaign we are now witnessing.
As for Opus Dei and Francis, I say - Let
the Two Beasts
Devour One Another
CONCLUSION
by The M+G+R Foundation
It is obvious to us that the core purpose of the well organized and
staged Opus Dei-Viganò affair is to damage Francis and expose
the corrupt state of affairs within the leadership of the Roman
Catholic Church to the four corners of the Romnan Catholic Church.
For the Opus Dei to unveil the False Christ - which is its ultimate
objective - they have to
bring down the Roman Catholic Church as well
as
create chaos throughout the political scene of the world.
As we have been announcing since 1992-1993 (6) the world - political
and religious - status quo
must collapse so that the masses claim for a Savior which, of course,
will be ready to be named by the Prelature at the right time.
Randy Engel does not believe what we have been announcing for so long
and which has been taking shape day by day (6) since then, that is why
she
cannot find and fit all the pieces of the Opus Dei-Viganó
affair: "But there are important
pieces of the Viganò/Opus Dei puzzle that
are still missing" se has clearly admitted.
Now you know...
