Agreed. I understand that he was the Nuncio to the US, and this is what he knows, but it seems to me that he spends too much time/energy on worldly/secular things. He should let go of his connections with politics and focus on the Church-related issues.
On the positive side, at least he mentioned Jesus Christ here, and yet there was still an ecuмenical flavor to his choice of words. Again, I think this is due to the political bent.
What do Sean and Lad think of this particular speech? They've been unusually silent here.
For my part, I’m reminded of very similar criticism coming from Fr. Pagliarani at the Angelus conference, when asked about the Vax:
After waffling and evading a direct answer, he criticized trads who would unite with non-Catholics to defend freedom (ie., opposing the NWO COVID19 restrictions and infringements upon freedom).
Consequently, my answer today would be much the same as it was then (and was shared by many who today unreasonably oppose Vigano):
”Finally, his linkage of the pro and anti-vax parties by a common principle (liberty for its own sake) required a further distinction which he seems to have overlookedmissed:
Yes, it is true that there are those in the pro and anti-vax crowds who are opposing the prison planet in order to protect freedom for its own sake. Nevertheless, this is not a reason to dismiss opposition outright! For example, rather than doing that, Archbishop Vigano preferred to remind his audience in a recent conference that freedom gained for its own sake is meaningless without reference to God and his Church. Fr. Pagliarani could have done so as well. Instead, he seems to overlook the fact that there are many among the anti-vax side who are fighting for Christ the King, not some mere Masonic veneration of liberty.
Regarding liberty properly understood (i.e., the moral power to do good), it is a precondition for the reign of Christ the King, because given liberty, the Kingship of Christ has a chance to take root and spread, but this is not possible in an authoritarian nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr. I would have expected Fr. Pagliarani to have understood that, and in fact, I believe he does. It is therefore inexplicable to understand why he links the two together, only to dismiss opposition to the globalists as though it were unimportant, or an extremely tertiary concern.”

What is new here, is that many today who perceived this linkage, and sided with Williamson, now make the same arguments against Vigano which they formerly rejected when hurled at Williamson.
