By Dorothy Cummings McLean, LifeSiteNews - Dr. Robert Moynihan, founder and editor-in-chief of Inside the Vatican magazine, recently published remarks he says Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò made to him in response to Pope Francis’ recent reflections on schism… “Pope Francis is saying that because he knows the Amazon Synod may provoke a schism,” Viganò allegedly told Moynihan… “He is ready to say others are making the schism, but (by his actions in continuing to support the Amazon Synod) he is provoking it himself,” the Vatican whistleblower continued… “Is this the attitude of a pastor who cares for the faithful? It is his own duty to prevent a schism.”

By Hon. Robert Marshall, Lepanto Institute - The Equality Act would fundamentally and radically alter Civil Rights Law to prohibit “discrimination” on the basis of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity,” in the same way racial discrimination is prohibited.

But he lets a gay married man in an openly heretical state remain unlaicized and working on a Catholic tribunal? That’s absurd and totally irresponsible. He is willing to risk the good of the Church for an old buddy of his from the seminary.”
