Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò was appointed the Apostolic Nuncio (Vatican ambassador) to the United States from 19 October 2011 to 12 April 2016. He gained prominence in the US by writing two open letters to President Donald J. Trump, one in June 7, 2020; and the other in October 25, 2020; both of which have received wide publicity and reprinted by several journals in the US. I heard about him through the media and on the Internet when he wrote his first letter back in June, but wasn’t interested to look into it further at the time. But following the recent political upheavals in the US, and especially following the controversial Presidential election, his name has been mentioned more often, especially since he wrote a third open letter in November 4, 2020, following the US Presidential election, and addressed to “American Catholics and Americans of Good Will;” so finally I decided to take a look at his writings to find out more about him and what he has to say.
The first thing I noticed after reading his letters is that he is a very eloquent, articulate, and well spoken individual. He has a flair for writing good English, which suggests a high degree of intelligence, so he cannot be easily dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist”. He has also held other high positions in the Catholic Church and at the Vatican, in most of which he has generated controversy by exposing fraud and corruption. He has been very critical of Pope Francis for example, accusing him of pandering to the globalists, and called on him to resign. In this post I would like to focus on his two letters to President Trump, and the last one addressed to the people of the United States. In his first letter he speaks in more general terms, and begins as follows:
“In recent months we have been witnessing the formation of two opposing sides that I would call Biblical: the children of light and the children of darkness. The children of light constitute the most conspicuous part of humanity, while the children of darkness represent an absolute minority. And yet the former are the object of a sort of discrimination which places them in a situation of moral inferiority with respect to their adversaries, who often hold strategic positions in government, in politics, in the economy and in the media. In an apparently inexplicable way, the good are held hostage by the wicked, and by those who help them either out of self-interest or fearfulness.”
Two paragraphs down he states the following (emphasis added):
“And it appears that the children of darkness—whom we may easily identify with the deep state which you wisely oppose and which is fiercely waging war against you in these days—have decided to show their cards, so to speak, by now revealing their plans. They seem to be so certain of already having everything under control that they have laid aside that circumspection that until now had at least partially concealed their true intentions.”
He also implies that the Covid 19 emergency has been used as an excuse for an exercise in “social engineering” whereby the conspiratorial elite “have decided the fate of humanity, arrogating to themselves the right to act against the will of citizens and their representatives in the governments of nations”. In the rest of his letter he speaks in conspiratorial terms, using typical expressions such as the “deep state,” the “invisible enemy,” “globalism,” “aligned thought,” the “New World Order,” “universal brotherhood” etc.; and speaking of those who want to “dominate the world by driving God out of the courts, out of schools, out of families, and perhaps even out of churches;” and that “hidden behind these acts of vandalism and violence there are those who hope to profit from the dissolution of the social order so as to build a world without freedom: Solve et Coagula, as the Masonic adage teaches”.
In his second letter he is more specific, speaks in more ominous terms, and talks of a global conspiracy to create a world dictatorship in which nation-states are dissolved, international borders are removed, individual civil liberties are curtailed, and the whole world is governed by a global socialist utopia. He begins his opening paragraph as follows:
“Allow me to address you at this hour in which the fate of the whole world is being threatened by a global conspiracy against God and humanity.”
Then in the next paragraph he continues as follows:
“As I said when I wrote my letter to you in June, this historical moment sees the forces of Evil aligned in a battle without quarter against the forces of Good; forces of Evil that appear powerful and organized as they oppose the children of Light, who are disoriented and disorganized, abandoned by their temporal and spiritual leaders.
“Daily we sense the attacks multiplying of those who want to destroy the very basis of society: the natural family, respect for human life, love of country, freedom of education and business. We see heads of nations and religious leaders pandering to this suicide of Western culture and its Christian soul, while the fundamental rights of citizens and believers are denied in the name of a health emergency that is revealing itself more and more fully as instrumental to the establishment of an inhuman faceless tyranny.
“A global plan called the Great Reset is underway. Its architect is a global élite that wants to subdue all of humanity, imposing coercive measures with which to drastically limit individual freedoms and those of entire populations. In several nations this plan has already been approved and financed; in others it is still in an early stage. Behind the world leaders who are the accomplices and executors of this infernal project, there are unscrupulous characters who finance the World Economic Forum and Event 201, promoting their agenda.
“The purpose of the Great Reset is the imposition of a health dictatorship aiming at the imposition of liberticidal measures, hidden behind tempting promises of ensuring a universal income and cancelling individual debt. The price of these concessions from the International Monetary Fund will be the renunciation of private property and adherence to a program of vaccination against Covid-19 and Covid-21. … Beyond the enormous economic interests that motivate the promoters of the Great Reset, the imposition of the vaccination will be accompanied by the requirement of a health passport and a digital ID, with the consequent contact tracing of the population of the entire world. Those who do not accept these measures will be confined in detention camps or placed under house arrest, and all their assets will be confiscated.
“Mr. President, I imagine that you are already aware that in some countries the Great Reset will be activated between the end of this year and the first trimester of 2021. For this purpose, further lockdowns are planned, which will be officially justified by a supposed second and third wave of the pandemic. You are well aware of the means that have been deployed to sow panic and legitimize draconian limitations on individual liberties, artfully provoking a world-wide economic crisis. In the intentions of its architects, this crisis will serve to make the recourse of nations to the Great Reset irreversible, thereby giving the final blow to a world whose existence and very memory they want to completely cancel.”
And then a couple of paragraphs down he adds:
“Until a few months ago, it was easy to smear as ‘conspiracy theorists’ those who denounced these terrible plans, which we now see being carried out down to the smallest detail. No one, up until last February, would ever have thought that, in all of our cities, citizens would be arrested simply for wanting to walk down the street, to breathe, to want to keep their business open, to want to go to church on Sunday. Yet now it is happening all over the world, even in picture-postcard Italy that many Americans consider to be a small enchanted country, with its ancient monuments, its churches, its charming cities, its characteristic villages. And while the politicians are barricaded inside their palaces promulgating decrees like Persian satraps, businesses are failing, shops are closing, and people are prevented from living, traveling, working, and praying.”
These two letters were written before the US Presidential election. Following the election he wrote his third letter, addressed to American Catholics and all Americans of good will, in which he continues the same theme as before. He begins his letter as follows:
“As devout Christians and faithful citizens of the United States of America, you have intense and heartfelt concern for the fate of your beloved country while the final results of the Presidential election are still uncertain.
“News of electoral fraud is multiplying, despite the shameful attempts of the mainstream media to censor the truth of the facts in order to give their candidate the advantage. There are states in which the number of votes is greater than the number of voters; others in which the mail-in vote seems to be exclusively in favor of Joe Biden; others in which the counting of ballots has been suspended for no reason or where sensational tampering has been discovered: always and only against President Donald J. Trump, always and only in favor of Biden.
“In truth, for months now we have been witnessing a continuous trickle of staggered news, of manipulated or censored information, of crimes that have been silenced or covered up in the face of striking evidence and irrefutable testimony. We have seen the deep state organize itself, well in advance, to carry out the most colossal electoral fraud in history, in order to ensure the defeat of the man who has strenuously opposed the establishment of the New World Order that is wanted by the children of darkness. In this battle, you have not failed, as is your sacred duty, to make your own contribution by taking the side of the Good. Others, enslaved by vices or blinded by infernal hatred against Our Lord, have taken the side of Evil.”
The solution that he proposes to the American people is to pray earnestly to God for a resolution of the problem, and for the defeat of the globalist conspiracy. Does he know something that the rest of us don’t know? I am not taking sides, but he seems to be too intelligent (and too much to lose) to be your typical “conspiracy theorist”. I think that what he says deserves to be taken seriously.
