(UPDATED) More US Bishops speak up in support of Abp. Viganò: "I ask that Archbishop Viganò’s testimony be taken seriously by all"

Statement from Bishop Thomas Olmsted Regarding Archbishop Viganò’s Recent Testimony

PHOENIX (Aug. 27, 2018) — The Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix has released the following statement today from the Most Rev. Thomas J. Olmsted, Bishop of Phoenix:

“I have known Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò for 39 years. We became colleagues in the Secretariat of State of the Holy See in August 1979, where he had been serving prior to my entrance into this work in service to the ministry of Pope John Paul II.

 

Although I have no knowledge of the information that he reveals in his written testimony of August 22, 2018 so I cannot personally verify its truthfulness, I have always known and respected him as a man of truthfulness, faith and integrity. St. Paul says of priests: “This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Now it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy” (1 Cor 4:1-2). That is how I have consistently found Archbishop Viganò.

For this reason, I ask that Archbishop Viganò’s testimony be taken seriously by all, and that every claim that he makes be investigated thoroughly. Many innocent people have been seriously harmed by clerics like Archbishop McCarrick; whoever has covered up these shameful acts must be brought to the light of day.”

Statement by the Most Rev. David A. Konderla

On the Testimony of His Excellency Carlo Maria Viganò August 27, 2018

On Sunday, August 26, 2018, the Most. Rev. David A. Konderla, Bishop of the Diocese of Tulsa & Eastern Oklahoma, commented on his personal Facebook page concerning the eleven-page testimony given by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. The full statement, which included a link to the testimony, follows:

I count myself blessed that it was Archbishop Viganò who called me to tell me that I was appointed fourth bishop of Tulsa. The allegations he details mark a good place to begin the investigations that must happen in order for us to restore holiness and accountability to the leadership of the Church.

Now is the time for us to re-double our prayers for the church and for the victims of these crimes.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.

Bishop David Konderla

Commenting further, Bishop Konderla stated today, “As a people of faith, we must have the patience and prudence necessary to allow these allegations to be thoroughly investigated in order that whatever truth they may contain may come to light and justice be served.” [Source]

Whether  or not Archbishop Vigano response is serious, I still believe "Birds of a feather flock together/stick together!  They are all in a club with membership.

All dioceses, All bishops give and support Catholic Charities and we know, we know who they support!!  Not Life!  They say the New order "mess" and they are all heretics!

Even the New Order pro-life institutions will say how bishop so-in-so are so pro-life, what lies!!  Those pro-life groups keep the "store front windows dressed".  Do we need to pinch ourselves to remember, that all these bishops are doing the world and "Dog and Pony Show" and for what?!  To destroy Christ's Institution and take Our Souls as well.  I say, NO, not mine, if I can help it.

I will fly to my Mother Mary before I give a listen to these men or organizations who would like to make us think that there are good new order clergy.  We know better!!!

Catholic Charities is the major servicer for Muslim migrants. They bring them into the USA, providing free food and lodging, and helping them to find jobs.

Sorry, I had to barf first before I wrote a reply. Here goes.

where he had been serving prior to my entrance into this work in service to the ministry of Pope John Paul II

Viganò writes:

[McCarrick’s] nomination to Washington was opposed by then-Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re. At the Nunciature in Washington there is a note, written in his hand, in which Cardinal Re disassociates himself from the appointment and states that McCarrick was 14th on the list for Washington.

Louie V. responds:

In order for one to conclude that John Paul II did not know about McCarrick’s background, we must believe that the Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, Cardinal Battista Re, who most certainly knew the truth and felt very strongly that McCarrick should not receive the appointment, simply failed to inform the pope.

Like I said, absurd.

And yet, John Paul II not only went ahead with the appointment anyway, he made McCarrick a cardinal in February 2001, thus giving him a place in the conclave that would elect his successor!

Equally as absurd is the excuse that John Paul II, whose travels between 2001-2004 number no less than a dozen-and-a-half, was so “very ill” that he cannot be held accountable.

Bottom line: John Paul II knew about McCarrick and not only covered for him, he also chose to advance his ecclesial career and his prestige; even against the input of the Cardinal-Prefect for the Congregation for Bishops.

Maria:  In 1992, Brophey  "catholic"High School in Phoenix, claimed to have one-fourth to one-third muslim students.  I doubt the muslim students were there for conversion!

Thank you, Maria.  And Bishop Olmsted gives his dioceses the impression that he is a "pure" tain.  He is very sly, and is more secret than O'Brien.

And as for Vigano, he too considers himself a "pure" tain Does he think he is to be considered next pope?!  He must seems to know everything, but does what for the victims!?

Yes, this entire scenario bothers me. Why did Vigano NOT go to the police many years ago with the information that he had? The police could have set up a sting operation and might have arrested the sɛҳuąƖ monsters. That would have saved many a seminarian from being abused.

Although he seems like a Devil's Advocate now, something about Vigano does not ring true. He is still a member of the Vatican II church, and most likely, he celebrates the Novus Ordo. How can anything good come from being submerged in all this filth?

And I say this because I was a member of this Vatican II church for many years. I saw how it weakened my own faith. It took many years to undo all the filth and damage to my soul. I still have a long way to go. Lord have mercy. God grant me many more years so that I can repent.

"I count myself blessed that it was Archbishop Viganò who called me to tell me that I was appointed fourth bishop of Tulsa"

Says Konderla. Wolf says to wolf.

See this important thread -- https://www.cathinfo.com/crisis-in-the-church/the-amazing-story-of-how-archbishop-viganos-report-came-to-be/msg624360/#msg624360


It details why Vigano published his memos and how he carefully planned the publication to be done in several countries and in several languages all on the same day and time so that Francis would be forced to answer to the Press as he was leaving Ireland.

I now have more respect for Archbishop Vigano as he has vanished leaving no traces as to where he has gone. Furthermore, he has ditched his cell phone. He now fears for his life and is preparing for an untimely death.

He is a true patriot of God's kingdom.

May the Lord be with him, grant him His grace, and protect him.
