Viganò tells bishops following his excommunication: ‘If you are silent, the stones will cry out’
Responding to the Vatican's declaration of his excommunication, Archbishop Viganò quoted Scripture in a message to his brother bishops, ‘If you keep silent, the stones will cry out’ (Luke 19:40).



Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò

• explicitly and consistently denies the legitimacy of Pope Francis, claiming his election is invalid;
  
• he does not consider himself in communion with Pope Francis and those who are in communion with him
  
• believes that the Church at the head of which Pope Francis stands is not the Catholic Church;
  
• rejects the Ecumenical Council Vatican II, believing it lacks magisterial authority;
  

A reminder that Cardinal Müller appears to still be among those who love the Latin Mass but also love Vatican II as he has been known to quote Vatican II documents approvingly...

The dogmas defined by Pius IX & Vatican I are now considered obsolete & unneeded: Apostasy

• The Pope cannot have full power or dominion over the Church (§41); nor can he have full authority in the Church (§§140-143, 175)
  
• The Papacy is not de iure divino or established by Our Lord, but rather it is de iure humano, a product of man in History (§166);
  
• The dogmas defined by Vatican I – Papal Infallibility and the Petrine Primacy – should be re-read and re-worded in function of their historical/cultural context (§§57-65, 146, 147, 178) and under the light of Vatican II (§66, 167, Proposal §14);
  
• Papal authority should be understood as self-renunciation or kenosis (§42); Peter’s role in strengthening the brethren is a leadership of service grounded in the consciousness of his own weakness and sinfulness (Proposal §28);
  
• Recognizing a certain papal authority does not imply accepting papal jurisdiction or government (§98);
  
• The Bishop of Rome has authority only in a synodal/collegial context: that is, as a member and head of the College of Bishops and a servant of universal communion (§112).
  

• The Papal Primacy should be a ministry of unity among all “Christian” religions and a service of love (§3);
  
• The Papal Primacy should be delegated to the Pope by the College of Bishops, including the bishops or leaders of other “Christian” religions (§19);
  
• The primacy of the Bishop of Rome should be understood as the primacy of the Church, that is, there should be an interdependence between primacy and synodality at each level of the Church (Proposal §2);
  
• The governance of the Church, as well as the formulation of its infallible teaching, should also be collegial (Proposal § 20);
  
• The Synod of Bishops should be a deliberative body (Proposal §21); there should be a permanent synodal governing structure at the government of the entire Church (Proposal §22).
  
• Every Bishop and the entire College of Bishops should have responsibility for the entire Roman Catholic Church (§114);
  
• Bishops should be vicars of Christ, and not vicars of the Pope (§1);
  
• The assemblies of Bishops should have the competence to appoint bishops, change the liturgy and catechesis, organize the churches etc. (§132), including having the authority to change the doctrine (§135, Proposal §19);
  
• What can be decided upon and done in smaller units of ecclesial life ought not to be referred to Church leaders. Decisions should be made and activities carried out with a participation as broad as possible of the people of God (§§138, 180);
  
• The present day relationship of the Eastern Catholic Churches with Rome – the Uniates – cannot be recognized as a model for the future communion with the “Christian” churches (§§130, 131).
