In a controversial open letter, former Roman Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, who was excommunicated earlier this year, has called on American Catholics to vote for former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Vigano, who served as the Vatican’s ambassador to the US from 2011 to 2016, paints a stark picture of the election as a battle between good and evil.
He describes Vice President Kamala Harris as “an infernal monster who obeys Satan” and states that voting for her is “morally inadmissible and constitutes a very grave sin.” Vigano claims Trump is the only candidate capable of stopping a “globalist coup” orchestrated by the “woke Left” and that voting for him is essential to preventing a “hellish dystopia.”
The former Archbishop, known for his outspoken criticism of Pope Francis and modern church reforms, peppers his letter with references to conspiracy theories, including claims of a “deep state” and election fraud in 2020. He also suggests that climate change is a hoax engineered by world governments.
Vigano’s letter has drawn strong criticism from the Catholic Church, with many condemning his inflammatory rhetoric and the use of conspiracy theories. His excommunication in July was a result of his persistent criticism of Pope Francis and the church’s modernization.
Despite the controversy, Vigano’s call to action seems to be resonating with a significant portion of the Catholic community. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that 52% of Catholics plan to vote for Trump, while 47% support Harris. This divide highlights the ongoing political polarization within the Catholic Church in the United States.
