Accuser Rips Pope Silence Over Cover-up Claims; Says Pope Won't Respond Since Cover-up Is Real

The former Vatican ambassador to the U.S., who accused Pope Francis of covering up for a disgraced American ex-cardinal, has challenged the Vatican to say what it knows about the scandal and accused Pope Francis of mounting a campaign of "subtle slander" against him, the Religion News website reports today (October 1, 2018).

Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano penned a new missive a month after his initial 11-page document sent shock waves through the Catholic Church.

Vigano denounced the Vatican silence about his claims, and said he has all the documentation needed to prove years of cover-up by the Vatican about sexual misconduct by ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick.

"How can one avoid concluding that the reason they do not provide the documentation is that they know it confirms my testimony?" Vigano wrote.
