| Description | DUBLIN — A former Vatican ambassador to the United States has alleged in an 11-page letter that Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis — among other top Catholic Church officials — had been aware of sexual misconduct allegations against a top American cardinal years before that prelate resigned this summer.
The letter from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who was recalled from his D.C. post in 2016 amid allegations that he’d become embroiled in the conservative American fight against same-sex marriage, was first reported by the National Catholic Register and LifeSite News, two conservative Catholic sites. The letter offered no proof and Viganò on Sunday told the Post he wouldn’t comment further.
“Silence and prayer are the only things that are befitting,” he said.
Asked about what had been published under his name in the Catholic outlets, Viganò said, “I confirm that it is my text and that I wrote it.” |
