In a recent letter to American Catholics, “excommunicated” Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano delivered a reasonable and cogent body blow to globalists, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and Pope Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) for failing to teach the whole Catholic Faith and for actually exploiting the poor and vulnerable.
This website and its editor does not involve itself with apparent juridical judgements of the Church on clerics and hierachy which will hopefully be reviewed again in the post-Francis years, but it cannot be wrong in extraordinary times to affirm again the correctness of timely and necessary Catholic teachings, principles and judgements in the absence of teaching which ordinarily comes from Rome and the bishops of the world. What follows is an excerpt from Archbishop Vigano’s letter. It is by no means a carte blanche endorsement of everything Archbishop Vigano and his friends might believe or teach. SH.

Vigano writes,
“It is no mystery that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has never – and I repeat: never – raised a penny to fight abortion, but rather has funded with tens of millions of dollars associations that adhere to the Catholic Campaign for Human Development and promote abortion, contraception, and homosexuality. Nor does the USCCB have any qualms about receiving subsidies from the Department of the Treasury for its management of illegal immigration, as its budgets, which are public, prove. And it should be remembered that, in addition to government funds, the USCCB receives funding from institutions and private foundations for the same purposes.
If in fact, as some would have us believe, the Bergoglian Hierarchy truly had at heart the salvation of souls – of all souls, both the souls of US citizens and the souls of the migrants who arrive on US territory – it should be doing what the Catholic Church has already very successfully undertaken in the past: providing for the evangelization, conversion, and religious instruction of these souls. I am thinking, for example, of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, the foundress of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the first American citizen to be raised to the honors of the altar. Her work of assistance to immigrants (initially Italians) expanded to include all those in need. She built churches, kindergartens, schools, boarding schools for female students, orphanages, retirement homes for lay and religious women, hospitals, and colleges thanks to the generosity of Catholics. Her example of a true apostolic and missionary spirit has been renounced, and cancel culture, so much in vogue today in the Bergoglian Church, is almost ashamed of the charitable work undertaken by her and other Saints.
The Lucrative Business of Immigration
What is happening today is precisely the opposite of the Church’s true mission: the Hierarchy is only concerned with grabbing government funding for the management of “welcoming immigrants” at taxpayer expense or for the provision of morally unacceptable treatments in so-called Catholic hospitals, even including mutilation for gender transition. In America there are hundreds of nominally “Catholic” institutions that receive public money to provide services that are entirely incompatible with the Catholic Magisterium.
By promoting the indiscriminate “welcoming” of immigrants, the Bishops show that they care more about the profits of the illegal immigrant business rather than the salvation of souls, the authentic social redemption of the weakest, or the protection of the flock entrusted to them. And here it is appropriate to remind the Catholic faithful that the Bishops have first of all a moral responsibility before God and the Church for the sheep of their flock, whom they have a duty to protect from the attacks of wolves.
The complicity of so many of the Bishops of the United States in the present crisis derives from their total concurrence with globalism, whose soul is intrinsically antichristic and therefore anti-religious and anti-human. This complicity is expressed not only in the promotion of the indiscriminate reception of illegal immigrants, but also in the other “sustainable goals” of the Agenda 2030, including LGBTQ+ ideology and gender theory: in the United States, according to current data, there are over 150 Catholic hospitals that offer “treatment” – that is, genital mutilation – for gender transition.
It should not surprise anyone that the American economist Mariana Mazzucato, a member of the World Economic Forum with ties to the Club of Rome, has been appointed by Bergoglio to the Pontifical Academy for Life despite being an atheist and pro-abortionist. In November 2024 she declared at the Annual Meeting of Davos that, since the elite has not managed to vaccinate the entire world population through the pandemic crisis, it is necessary to focus on a less abstract strategy such as a water crisis.
The Biden Administration, and more generally all recent US administrations, both those led by Democrats and those led by neo-cons – have distinguished themselves for having financed abortion, genital mutilation even of young adolescents, genetic manipulation, surrogate motherhood, and euthanasia with public funding. Although the Catholic Church condemns these aberrations without exception, the silence of the American Bishops has been deafening. This makes it clear that there is nothing genuinely Catholic about the “pastoral” action of these Bishops, and that the only reason that leads the Episcopate to support a government is the advantage it can derive from it in terms of power and money; even if this means abandoning millions of human beings who have been brought into the United States by criminal organizations in order to then be exploited as slaves in humiliating working conditions, or forced into prostitution (including minors), drug dealing, and the black market of organ predation.
This mass of victims of elite cynicism weighs on the conscience of many rulers and many Bishops, and the new Trump Administration gives hope that a wise regulation of the migration phenomenon can largely solve the problems of security and crime that all citizens have come to know only too well.
The Bergoglian Church is an Accomplice in Ethnic Replacement
In this context, it is dismaying to hear the words of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who recently stated – referring to Italy but speaking about the entire Western world – that, in the face of demographic decline, the only workable solution is to import immigrants, thus concretizing the ethnic replacement theorized by Kalergi, the pan-European. This proposal is also widely reflected in similar requests from multinational corporations, who see the importation of immigrants as a way to drastically reduce the cost of labor to the detriment of native workers, further increasing their profits. As we can see, Authority is now completely subservient to the diktats of the elite, with the complicity of the mainstream media, even if this leads to a worsening of the social and working conditions of the population. Or rather, it is precisely for this reason, since, as I said, the ultimate goal of this lobby is the extermination of a sizeable portion of the human race.
The Numbers Speak for Themselves
Finally, we cannot forget that the budgets of US Dioceses, already largely compromised by the millions of dollars doled out in compensation for the cases of sexual abuse, and also depleted by the abandonment of an ever-increasing number of faithful from the official Catholic Church because of its betrayal of its nature and mission, have their main income from government funds given to them for the purpose of “welcoming” immigrants. Along with Catholic charitable organizations, the sum received by the American Catholic Church for “welcoming” immigrants amounts to over 2.4 billion dollars, an exorbitant figure that highlights at least a serious conflict of interest and that does not solve the social problems that derive from it in the least. And it is gravely detrimental to the entire Catholic Church to have Bishops for whom the maintenance of power renders irrelevant the link between the presence of thousands of irregular minors on American soil and their exploitation by perverts, pedophiles, organ harvesters, and criminals of all kinds. President Trump and Vice President Vance are demonstrating that they know how to protect the little ones of whom the Gospel speaks (Mt 18:6), contrary to what the American Bishops and Bergoglio himself have done thus far.
The (Counter) Revolution of Common Sense
President Trump’s Executive Orders can only be hailed as absolutely supported by every Catholic worthy of the name, just as Catholics ought to praise the support shown by the President and Vice President for the March for Life, which the previous Administration officially opposed, even to the point of arresting those who prayed silently near abortion clinics. Donald Trump’s Presidential Pardon for those who had been so imprisoned confirms a reversal of the trend with respect to the “Catholic” Joe Biden, just as the end of public funding for the abortion multinational corporation Planned Parenthood and the providential cuts in disbursements to self-styled Catholic organizations that favor illegal immigration represent a radical change.
The statement that there are only two sexes, in its banal obviousness, is now a revolutionary proposition – what President Trump calls the “revolution of common sense” – yet Bishops, priests, and nuns deplore his action as “divisive.” But if anyone is sowing division, it is precisely those who are feeding the monstrosities of woke ideology against the mandate they have received from Christ: first and foremost, Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
The Role of the USCCB
Of course, it is not surprising that McCarrick’s heirs, who have been promoted by Bergoglio to the top of the Catholic Church in the United States, are so prompt to deplore the policies of canceling laws in favor of woke ideology, starting with those who denied the binary complementarity of the sexes and recognized gender dysphoria even in minors: their subordination to the LGBTQ+ lobby is widely proven, both institutionally and personally. And it is well known – as Dr. Taylor Marshall has pointed out – that almost all Catholic Bishops in the United States have been vetted and nominated by the previous three liberal cardinals in Washington, DC (the pedophile homosexuals McCarrick, Wuerl, and Gregory), and then appointed directly by Bergoglio. Marshall rightly comments: “Company men follow company orders. They all owe each other”.
These serious deviations within the Clergy and Bishops will have to be the subject of a great operation of removal and reform in due time, because they constitute a subversive element within the ecclesial structure that is irreconcilable with the Faith and Morals of the Catholic Church. The Bishops’ Conferences themselves – a spurious body of parliamentarian matrix that has no legitimacy from a doctrinal and canonical point of view – represent an independent entity that have been transformed over the past few decades into political lobbying groups by the ultra-progressive Bishops. The proposal to revoke the USCCB’s tax-exempt status (here) should therefore be widely supported by faithful Catholics. And of course Bergoglio should be the first to support this salutary initiative, since, after all, he desires a “poor church for the poor . . . .”
Catholics also have the possibility of re-directing their offerings and donations to those ecclesial realities that remain faithful to Tradition and the perennial Magisterium of the Catholic Church, withholding them from the Dioceses whose Bishops impose doctrinal errors and moral deviations.
The Government can also intervene, without violating the freedom of the Church, in order to bring to light and severely punish the scandals and cover-ups that have not prevented certain Prelates from being appointed to the head of the most prestigious Dioceses in America, not least the newly-appointed Archbishop of Washington, Robert McElroy. Many Catholics expect justice to be done, first of all out of respect for the victims who have thus far been abandoned by both civil power and ecclesiastical authority.” — End of excerpt
