Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò is a noteworthy maverick within the Catholic Church hierarchy. He retired as Papal Nuncio to the United States in 2016 and has exposed what he sees as great scandals within his Church. This lengthy Wikipedia entry provides background.
The Archbishop has issued a Christmas letter to the United States that is unusually blunt about what he sees as a conspiracy underlying the handling of COVID. The letter was originally published in Gateway Pundit, but is presented here for readers’ convenience.

Powerful letter and a call for us to stand up for ourselves and against this Satanic tyranny.
Thank you, Archbishop Vigano.

There is another great current scandal in the Catholic Church here in the U.S during COVID. The Church's primary obligation, by belief and reflected in Canon Law's number one stated obligation, the care of souls, is the free and unfettered provision of Communion to the people of God. Catholic priests are commanded by Christ to give proactive ease of access to Holy Communion. That means, do not frustrate this access by such as 1.mask mandates (let that be an individual decision), by limiting and cancelling Masses, by not providing, let alone stepping up, in-home Communion to those unable to leave home or to the needs of the many who have breathing difficulties with the masks on and are so forced away from attendance, etc. Wrongfooted would be a charitable way of describing the hugely disappointing "COVID" response of much of the U.S. Catholic hierarchy, its weakness in bending to unconstitutional government authoritarianism, its political naivete, and so on. I, for one, resent and am appalled by the barriers that the Church has set up between the reception of the Eucharist and the lay believers who need it now more than ever. If that is not a scandal, I don't know what is. A political narrative has been elevated to reign supreme over the words of the Son of God. Well, let's see what happens next.

Wonderful article. Vigano is a gift from God who knows that a clever ruse for Satan to use would be to convince people that believing in conspiracies is loony. According to Saul Alinsky ridicule is man’s greatest most potent weapon against his fellow man and ridicule and jail are now used to silence suspicious patriots. However, the signs of the times add up to clear evidence that creating a new world order is the main agenda item of the world’s elite. From the irrational concept of man-made global warming to the perversion of sexual urges to the eschewing of biological facts to the feminization of men to the shutdown of economies to the isolation of family groups due to fear of a man-made plague, to the worship of the profane, etc. we are obviously being conditioned or as Democrat activist Cass Sunstein of Harvard Law said, “nudged” to be compliant to a reset of global proportions. However, believers in Christ know that this world is temporal, has been conquered and that a feast of victory awaits us in heaven.

Finally, a word of reason crying in the wilderness! We can only pray that it is heard by many and acted on as well.

Not so sure that the "firm and peaceful resistance" is still possible but we'll go with that as long as we can. Good message.

Powerful and True. Do not look to the Vatican for guidance, Francis is one of them.
Trump stumbled on to this by questioning a birth certificate , canceling the perks of the Queen of the house, and looking at international trade agreements independently.
The Bushes and Ryan’s and Romney’s and McConnells are as complicit as Obama and his network —- which needs to be identified and scorned and purged , and the Clintons and Pelosi and Cheney.
Vigano is correct, Christ and the Judeo Christian values embodied by Western Civilization are the target. Christians can no longer take faith for granted. As individuals we must first restore faith and turn our hearts and faces to God without limitation, as did our ancestors. Then unite with others who are not casually aware of God but are all in. We must reset the h culture that wishes to reset us.

Thank you, #2. I was already pretty disgusted with the church due to the communist in the Vatican, but when the country’s Catholic Churches canceled Easter in 2020, it was the last straw for me.

The Catholic Church has always been crooked and Dishonest. From the early beginnings the church did many nasty things and all those in charge then and now will be in HELL.

Thank you, Archbishop Vigano, I REALLY need to hear these words. Everything I have been praying about and agonizing over during these years of Francis were addressed in clear plain English. The betrayal of the Catholic faithful by Bergolio (I love the fact that he referenced the Pope that way) has been so upsetting to me and so against everything I was taught in my many years of Catholic Education.
These past two years it seemed that my bedrock, my faith and my country, have been under assault from people and places I never expected. Archbishop Vigano confirms my believe that I am not the crazy person, and millions of others feel the same way as I do. I will continue to pray, speak out when I can, and know that we can weather this storm.

FTA: You are animated by a yearning for justice, and this is a legitimate and good desire. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,” says the Lord (Mt 5:6). But this Justice must be based on the awareness that this is a spiritual battle in which it is necessary to take sides without equivocation and without compromise, holding transcendent and eternal references that even the pagan philosophers glimpsed, and that have found fulfillment in the Revelation of the Son of God, the Divine Master.
Thank God for this man, at this time. His powerful words assure us that we are not racist, nativist, homophobic, science-denying conspiracy theorists putting the world in danger by not submitting to the holy will of the government, the education system and the medical community. He speaks with the moral certainty of The Church I remember. And, most importantly, he SEES. All of it. We desperately need leaders who see and then act. It is not by accident that we are living in these times. We are here to witness and to act. My God give us strength.

Vigano is right.
Beware of godless globalists who think they are god. They are nothing but tyrants employing thugs to terrorize the general population. Pray that the real God sets them straight.
The globalists ratcheted up their tactics because of two things: A nationalist Donald Trump became President, and BREXIT. The globalists viewed both actions as a threat to their power.

Extending a profound and heartfelt “thank you” to Mr. Lifson for bringing the clarity, insight, wisdom and, most certainly, religious perspective from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò to the American people. And, “thank you” to OP for posting the “American Thinker” article to this respected and valued website. Hopefully, the Archbishop’s letter was read by far more people than posted comments to the thread; this is a letter that should be shared with family and friends, far and wide. Without question, this country desperately needs to restore the love and reverence for God that was inherent in our Founding Fathers.

The church hierarchy has been infiltrated from the very top by a group of gay subversives known as "The Lavender Mafia." Archbishop Vigano is a brave man and has even had to go into hiding.
It speaks volumes about the current state of the Marxist Catholic church when an archbishop that speaks truth and defends orthodoxy has to go into hiding. He knows.

So my very Catholic 90 year old mom has been in denial about all of this—laughing off my “conspiracy theories”, telling me I need a shrink, etc. So I sent her this article and now she gets it. So, it’s worth passing around. Open some eyes. Finally.

FTA: "And in this it is mainly the laity and all people of good will — each in the professional and civil role he holds — who must coordinate and organize together to make a firm but peaceful resistance, so as not to legitimize its violent repression by those who today hold power."
Against the perpetrators of the Great Reset, nothing is effective against the cabal without the very real threat, if not the overt action, of being put to the sword.

I strongly suggest we Americans and the world heed Archbishop Vigano's words post-haste. There is no time for delay. Now would be a good time to stop this Great Reset scam.

Yes, I have suffered under the mask mandate and not being able to receive the Eucharist physically. Participating at Mass via You Tube is not optimal, but it is real worship with my Faith community. I have found Spiritual Communion surprisingly intense - not at all the "consolation prize" I once thought. As long as I can at least participate at Mass in this way I can unite with Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. Also, the Sacrament of Reconciliation is still open to me. We must trust our bishops. They are being faced with challenges of which we may not be aware.
There is nothing that will make me renounce either the Catholic Faith or the Catholic Church, even a schismatic pope. We are called to endure persecution, even at the hands of our own prelates. What hubris we moderns have expecting perfection within the walls of the Vatican. Whenever has this been the case? Judas betrayed Christ and Peter denied him three times. The difference between the two men is Judas despaired and committed suicide, while Peter despaired yet remained faithful. Still, when martyrdom loomed for Peter his initial reaction was to run away until confronted by Christ, and once again showed courage to run towards his martyrdom. So was set the pattern for leaders in our Church - while some succumbed to the wiles of Satan, others were inspiring holy and saintly men. The Catholic Church has survived schisms, multiple simultaneous popes, corrupt popes and the Reformation. We will survive Bergoglio.
Lets us honor and magnify the voice of Archbishop Viganò, a true soldier of Christ who is leading the faithful with truth and compassion. Many hammers have been broken on the anvil of the Church. The gates of hell will not prevail. Gates are a defensive position. Christ demands we be on the offensive. Pray and fast; stay faithful.

Not to inject anything trivial, considering the excellent posts here, but has anyone else noted the lower case acronym for Biden’s/Demo’s “Build Back Better” campaign? “bbb” = … 666?

A word of grammar - - -
Note that there is an accent over the "o" in the archbishop's name - - which means that is where the stress is, So his name is pronounced "vee-gah-NO" - - accent on the last syllable.
Please keep that in mind as you read his amazing letter.

Second post, please.
I love the way Archbishop Viganò refers to the current occupant of the Vatican as "Bergoglio." That commie is no more Pope - - than former VP Despicable Joe is "president."
Keep up your Holy Mission, Archbishop!

Vigano is right. So is Exodus 14:14 “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”

After its humble beginnings underground remembering their Massiah the RCC has evolved into an organization of rules, heirarchy and politics.

If I could give 100 clicks of approval for #19's SUPERLATIVE post, I would. Thank you, Timber Queen!! I'm in complete agreement with all your cogent assessments of how the Church will survive its current head, enduring until the end of time. God Willing. What a godly and princely defender of Holy Mother Church, Archbishop Vigano is!! I highly recommend forwarding/sending/mailing this article to family, as well as friends. They could all profit from such words of wisdom. The hour is late; let us not waste the time that is left to us, to read, inform, in order to protect and defend what Christ founded and placed in our midst, for the safety and advancement of all humanity!
