Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano Excommunicated & Found Guilty of Schism | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano has been excommunicated by the Vatican after being found guilty of schism. This is the most severe penalty that can be imposed on a baptized Catholic. Senior Vatican Analyst for EWTN News, Frank Rocca, joins to discuss what the penalty of excommunication actually imposes. Rocca shares how unusual it is for the Vatican to declare a bishop or archbishop excommunicated. He explains how Archbishop Vigano, a senior Vatican official under 2 popes, ended up in this position. Rocca tells us whether there's been any response from Archbishop Vigano as he has rejected the authority of Pope Francis for some time. He fills us in on what the case of Archbishop Vigano says about the state of the Church today. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
