Viganò´s letter to Prevost contains a number of noteworthy disclosures.
-
He reveals that it was Cardinal Raymond Burke who advised him, after
publishing the memorandum about the homosexual Cardinal Theodore
McCarrick in August 2018, to live for several years in secret locations.
-
He discloses that the priestly fraternity Familia Christi was “brutally
destroyed and dissolved” by the current Archbishop of Ferrara, Gian
Carlo Perego, and the Holy See itself. Archbishop Viganò now cares for
its members.
- He writes that Francis personally imposed a series
of punitive measures against him. After his retirement in 2016, Francis
barred him from returning to the Vatican apartment previously assigned
to him by John Paul II and also prevented him from residing in the
retirement residence for former nuncios. Francis later revoked his
Vatican citizenship and passport, denied him access to Vatican
healthcare despite his contributions to the system, ordered the removal
of his car from the Vatican vehicle registry, and blocked the renewal of
his Vatican driver's licence, which he had held since 1973.
-
One part of the letter concerns Pope Leo XIV's former Diocese of
Chiclayo. Viganò discusses Fr. Eleuterio Vásquez Gonzales ("Padre
Lute"), who has been accused of the sexual abuse of minor girls.
Monsignor Viganò reiterates that the priest was dismissed from the
clerical state in order to shield him from a regular canonical trial.
Meanwhile, the victims' canon lawyer, Monsignor Ricardo Coronado
Arrascue, was sanctioned. Viganò states that Coronado provided him with
detailed documentation and a full account of the case.
