Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò caused a massive upheaval in the Catholic Church by accusing Pope Francis of a sexual abuse cover-up and calling for his resignation.
Viganò, the former papal ambassador for the Vatican to the United States, wrote a 7,000-word letter published on Aug. 26, according to The New York Times, stating “the Vatican hierarchy was complicit in covering up accusations that Cardinal Theodore McCarrick had sexually abused seminarians and that Pope Francis knew about the abuses …. Francis did not punish the cardinal, but instead empowered him to help choose powerful American bishops.”
