Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò Exposes Gay Mafia Inside The Catholic Church
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

In the instant he became one of the most controversial figures in modern Catholic Church history, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò went dark.

Last year, we brought you the story about a former papal nuncio to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, released an explosive, 11-page report in which he laid out a series of allegations against a number of high-ranking prelates, including Pope Francis. In that report, Viganò laid out his claim of a ‘gay mafia’ inside the Catholic Church that was making it possible to enable all the pedophile priests to keep abusing children.

“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” Revelation 17:4-6 (KJV)

Now Viganò is hiding in exile, afraid for his life. Just a few months ago, Vatican treasurer and personal confidant to Pope Francis Cardinal George Pell was found guilty of pedophilic child assault, Francis said he knew nothing about that, either. If I were Viganò I would hire a food tester, even in exile, the Roman harlot has an incredible reach.

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò who called on pope to resign gives 1st interview since self-imposed exile

FROM LMT ONLINE: The retired Vatican ambassador to Washington wrote a bombshell letter last summer calling on Pope Francis to resign on the grounds that he had tolerated a known sexual abuser. As that letter was published, Viganò turned off his phone, told friends he was disappearing, and let the church sort through the fallout.

Nine months later, in his first extended interview since that moment, Viganò refused to disclose his location or say much about his self-imposed exile. But his comments indicate that, even in hiding, he is maintaining his role as the fiercest critic of the Francis era, acting either as an honorable rebel or, as his critics see it, as an ideological warrior attacking a pope he doesn’t like.

Viganò corresponded by email with The Washington Post over two months, writing 8,000 words in response to nearly 40 questions. He was blistering in his criticism of Francis, saying “it is immensely sad” that the pope was “blatantly lying to the whole world to cover up his wicked deeds.”

The Vatican has had little official response to Viganò. A communications official declined to comment for this story. But Francis last month responded for the first time to Viganò’s summer letter. The pope said he knew “nothing, obviously nothing” about the misconduct of former cardinal Theodore McCarrick and could not remember if he had been personally warned about McCarrick by Viganò in 2013. Viganò claimed to have told Francis that McCarrick had “corrupted generations of seminarians and priests.”

“How could anybody, especially a pope, forget this?” Viganò wrote to The Post.

McCarrick was defrocked in February, after the case exploded into public view and he was found guilty in a Vatican proceeding for “sins” with minors and adults.

In his correspondence with The Post, Viganò offered detailed thoughts about church affairs, but he resisted personal questions – and he declined requests to meet in person. Viganò wrote that he has become “more careful about whom I meet and what I say.” He said questions about him were “irrelevant to the serious problems facing the Church.” “My life is quite normal, thank you for asking,” he wrote.

Viganò wrote “n/a” in response to questions about where he was living, whether he believes his safety is under threat, and how his actions last August have otherwise altered his life. Viganò wrote that he has not been contacted by the Catholic Church since his accusations were initially published by several conservative church news outlets. He described himself as an “old man” who “will be appearing in front of the Good Judge before too long.” Viganò, 78, was two years into his retirement when he came forward with his letter, a stunning break for a lifelong church representative who’d held major bureaucratic posts inside the Vatican and represented the Holy See in several countries as a diplomat.

“My silence would make me complicit with the abusers, and lead to yet more victims,” he said.

Although Viganò’s letter focused on only McCarrick’s case, it became a touchstone for a wider and fierce struggle over internal corruption, the role of homosexuality in abuse, and whether Francis is leading the church astray.

Viganò wrote last year that both Benedict XVI and Francis had known about McCarrick’s misconduct. But he portrayed Benedict as attempting to take quiet disciplinary action against the then-cardinal and Francis as patently ignoring those sanctions.

Last month, private letters disclosed by a former McCarrick aide supported Viganò’s claim that McCarrick was told by the Vatican to retreat from public life during Benedict’s papacy. But it is also clear that McCarrick swiftly ignored his orders from Rome, even while Benedict remained pope. No documents have surfaced showing whether Francis knew of the sanctions against McCarrick by the time he became pope in 2013.

Viganò said the “truth will eventually come out” for Francis, as it had for Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the former archbishop of Washington who portrayed himself last summer as being unaware about complaints against McCarrick – a claim that documents subsequently proved false. Viganò suggested to The Post that Francis is covering up other cases, “as he did for McCarrick.”

For Catholic traditionalists – a group that includes some bishops and cardinals, as well as pundits, journalists and everyday members of the faith – Viganò has become a revered symbol, though an absent one. “He’s certainly acquired a very strong moral leadership in the Catholic world,” said Virginia Coda Nunziante, president of Italy’s March for Life committee.

Viganò frequented conservative church conferences and antiabortion events before the release of his testimony; now, he is a no-show. He keeps in touch with people only on his own terms, calling them from a Skype account that does not resemble his own name.

Many in the Catholic world feel that Viganò – long known for his hot temper and inner-Vatican rivalries – is neither credible nor interested in stopping sexual abuse. They note that documents show he tried to quash an investigation into a Minnesota archbishop accused of misconduct, an accusation Viganò denies. They also say his testimony last summer was a barely-veiled attack against homosexuals in the upper ranks, and that his real goal was to weaken Francis rather than help the church.

“There is an element of Machiavellian exploitation” with Viganò, said Austen Ivereigh, a papal biographer.

As far as the McCarrick case, the Vatican pledged in October to conduct a “thorough” study of its archives and reveal what it finds about who knew what. The church has since said only that an investigation is ongoing.

“The results of an honest investigation would be disastrous for the current papacy,” Viganò wrote to The Post. He also acknowledged that such an investigation may harm the reputations of more traditionalist pontiffs, Benedict and John Paul II, who presided over McCarrick’s rise.

“But that is not a good reason for not seeking the truth,” Viganò said. “Benedict XVI and John Paul II are human beings, and may well have made mistakes. If they did, we want to know about them. Why should they remain hidden? We can all learn from our mistakes.”

Viganò did not respond directly to a question about whether he has documents to back up his claims. “The time has not yet come for me to release anything,” Viganò said, instead calling on the pope and other Vatican officials to release documentation, “assuming they have not yet destroyed it.”

Viganò also spoke in detail about one of his most contentious beliefs: that the sexual abuse crisis would be “far less severe” if the “problem of homosexuality in the priesthood were honestly acknowledged and properly addressed.”

The question of whether homosexuality has anything to do with abuse has divided the Vatican hierarchy. Studies show there is no correlation between sexual orientation and the likelihood to commit abuse. Francis has emphasized not homosexuality, but the vast power chasm that priests take advantage of when abusing younger victims. But people like Viganò raise the point that 80 percent of clerical abuse victims are male, and the majority of those are 14 and older.

“Given the overwhelming evidence, it is mind-boggling that the word ‘homosexuality’ has not appeared once, in any of the recent official documents of the Holy See” on events dealing with abuse and youth, Viganò wrote.

He said a “gay mafia” among bishops, intent on protecting themselves, was “sabotaging all efforts at reform.”

Viganò referenced only two regrets about his letter last summer. He said he wished he had spoken out sooner. He also said, “in retrospect,” he would have softened the call for Pope Francis to resign – a demand even Viganò’s supporters said was far-fetched and distracting.

Viganò now leaves open the possibility that Francis could repent, and says the pope should step down “if he refuses to admit his mistakes and ask for forgiveness.” READ MORE

Pope Francis faces accusation of ignoring sexual abuse

Another accusation has emerged in the Catholic Church’s ongoing sexual abuse scandal. A former senior Vatican diplomat to the U.S., Carlo Maria Vigano claims that Pope Francis knew about, and ignored, allegations of wrongdoing by Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, previously archbishop of Washington, D.C.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Dystopian Tech Startup Called Satyress Rolling Out Robot Called Threehalves Promising You’ll Become ‘Superhuman’

Preparing For Antichrist: The Horned Threehalves Robot From Satyress Shows A World Embracing Demonic Imagery, Artificial Intelligence And Superhuman Machines In Real Time

Threehalves is more than a bizarre engineering experiment, it is a sermon in steel preaching the dark gospel of the coming post-human world. A company calling itself Satyress has fashioned a seven-foot, horned, goat-headed monstrosity with the torso of a man, the body of a beast and mechanical arms designed to wield chainsaws and other instruments of power—all beneath the slogan “BECOME SUPERHUMAN.” They could have given it the neutral appearance of ordinary industrial machinery, but instead they deliberately clothed it in the imagery of the satyr and the Baphomet. That choice reveals how rapidly this generation is losing its natural revulsion toward the demonic, the grotesque and the unnatural. What previous generations would have recognized as an abomination is now photographed, promoted and applauded as innovation. And tick, tock, goes the end times clock.

“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Threehalves is a chilling preview of the technological environment into which the Antichrist will step after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. The world is being conditioned to communicate with artificial entities, obey voices coming from machines, surrender decisions to algorithms and accept mechanical bodies possessing strength far beyond that of human beings. Revelation foretells an image that will speak and cause those refusing to worship the beast to be killed; our generation is now constructing speaking images, autonomous weapons and robotic enforcers without giving a second thought to where those technologies may ultimately lead. The Antichrist will not arrive in a world unprepared for him, he will enter a world already trained to accept artificial authority, digital surveillance, manufactured reality and satanic power masquerading as human progress. Some of the people building this system undoubtedly understand the darkness they are invoking, while many others sincerely believe they are merely creating helpful technology. But conscious cooperation is not required when “the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience” is steadily moving the whole world in the same direction. Artificial intelligence, transhumanism, digital identification, programmable money, global surveillance and weaponized robotics are converging to prepare the operational machinery of the coming kingdom of the beast. Threehalves is only one garage-built prototype, but its Baphomet-like form provides a startling picture of the spirit behind that approaching system: man attempting to transcend the boundaries established by God, merging himself with the machine and calling the resulting abomination “superhuman.” The Church is not waiting for Antichrist—we are waiting for Jesus Christ—but while we await That Blessed Hope, we should clearly be warning a lost and dying world that the stage is being set, the machinery is being assembled, and the “night cometh when no man can work” is rapidly approaching. Your King James Bible mentions satyrs multiple times, and today we show you how all this connects on the end times timeline.

Operation Africa! Delivers Mattresses And Blankets To 84 Orphan Children In Kenya, Replacing Cardboard On Concrete With A Clean And Comfortable Place To Sleep Tonight

Earlier today  at Glory Fellowship Orphanage in Kenya, what began as a burden, a prayer and a fundraising appeal became something these children could finally reach out and touch. The mattresses arrived. The blankets arrived. And because the people of God responded, 84 orphan children who had been sleeping on cardboard laid over a concrete floor now have a clean, soft place to rest. Look closely at the photograph. Those children are not standing around a promise of help that may come someday. The help is there, lined up across the orphanage grounds, still wrapped in protective plastic, ready to be carried inside and put to use. But first things first, they’re spraying the rooms for bedbugs.

“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” James 1:27 (KJB)

This is what Operation Africa! is all about. It’s King James Bibles placed into waiting hands, clean water flowing where there was none, medicine reaching hurting children, and now mattresses and blankets for orphans who up to this point had been sleeping on cardboard and concrete. This is Bible-believing Christianity with its sleeves rolled up. To every NTEB’er who prayed, donated and shared the appeal, this is the fruit of your giving.

The Lord took many individual gifts and transformed them into 45 mattresses, 45 blankets and a better night’s sleep for 84 precious children.

After Trump Was Smuggled Off Air Force One In A Catering Truck, Gulf States Now Accept That An ‘Obliterated’ Iran Controls The Strait Of Hormuz

The Catering Truck Escape Of President Trump Exposes How An Iran Declared ‘Decimated And Obliterated’ Remains Dangerous And In Control Of Hormuz Despite Months Of American Bombing

America was told that Iran had been “decimated” and “obliterated,” but the truth of the matter is that when President Trump visited Turkey last month, credible threats from Iran forced the Secret Service to extract the president and smuggle him out hidden inside a catering truck, and flown to safety on an alternate Air Force One. As you let that sink in, ask yourself, what does that tell you? It tells me that we have been lied to about the Iran War from start to finish. How do you reconcile the endless boasting and bragging from the Department of War on how America “decimated” Iran with the mental picture of Trump and Hegseth hiding in a catering truck because Iran made some threats? The photo at the top of this article shows you the actual container that Trump and Hegseth were hidden in. This is beyond shameful and unacceptable, and as American patriots, we cannot, and must not, abide this deception any longer.

“The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.” Proverbs 21:31 (KJB)

Faced with what American officials reportedly considered a credible Iranian assassination threat, Trump did exactly what the president of the United States should have done: he followed the security plan designed to keep him alive. The scandal is not that Trump got into the catering truck. The scandal is that America was repeatedly told Iran had been “decimated” and “obliterated,” while the people protecting the president privately believed Tehran still possessed the reach, intelligence and operational capability to threaten his life in a NATO country. That’s the bombshell hiding underneath the sensational headline. According to a report published by the New York Post, President Trump publicly boarded the familiar blue-and-white Air Force One following the NATO summit in Ankara on July 8. Television cameras recorded the presidential departure, reporters boarded the plane, White House personnel took their seats, and everything appeared normal. But it was all a decoy.

On the opposite side of the aircraft, Trump and several aides reportedly entered an elevated airport catering container. The container was lowered onto a truck, driven across the tarmac and raised to the door of a smaller Air Force C-32A military aircraft. Trump secretly boarded that plane while reporters and even some White House staff departed Turkey believing the president was flying with them aboard Air Force One. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was also aboard the secret flight, reportedly boarding separately to preserve the illusion of a routine military departure.

The operation was triggered by what a United States official described as a credible Iranian threat against Trump’s life. Israel had reportedly warned Washington of a possible Iranian assassination plot. The White House did not subsequently deny that the clandestine transfer occurred, instead saying that every available security measure was being employed to protect the president. Now, no responsible person should criticize him for following the security instructions of the Secret Service and the military. Presidents do not prove courage by unnecessarily exposing themselves to assassination. But Americans have every right to ask why, to demand why the private threat assessment differed so dramatically from the public victory narrative. This is absolutely a scandal that needs to be addressed.

Iran Was Bombed Into Rubble, But It Was Not Neutralized

The United States and Israel unquestionably inflicted catastrophic physical damage upon Iran. An April 1 Department of War fact sheet claimed that American forces had struck more than 12,300 targets, flown more than 13,000 combat missions and damaged or destroyed more than 155 Iranian vessels. Command centers, IRGC headquarters, intelligence facilities, air defenses, ballistic-missile sites, weapons-production facilities, communications networks and Iranian naval assets were hammered by the most technologically advanced military force on the planet.

Iran could not match the United States in the air. It could not match the United States at sea. It could not prevent American bombers and missiles from destroying enormous portions of its conventional military infrastructure. But destroying thousands of targets is not the same thing as winning a war.

A war is won when the enemy can no longer impose his will, threaten your interests or compel you to alter your behavior. Judged by that standard, Iran was in some respects devastated, but it was not defeated. It was damaged, but it was not disarmed. It was battered, but it was never neutralized. Iran absorbed the punishment, kept its regime alive and retained the weapons that mattered most: geography, asymmetrical warfare, assassination capabilities, mines, missiles, drones, regional proxies and control over the narrow passage through which a major portion of the world’s energy supply must travel. Washington won the bombing campaign. Tehran may be winning everything that came after it.

The Strait Of Hormuz Tells The Real Story

On July 28, the White House published remarks in which President Trump flatly declared, “Iran doesn’t control the Strait. We control the Strait.” Less than two weeks later, the Wall Street Journal published a report beneath this astonishing headline:

“Gulf States Accept a New Normal in Hormuz: Iran Is in Control.”

That isn’t  a minor discrepancy, t is the difference between the victory Americans were promised and the strategic reality now confronting the Middle East. Persian Gulf energy producers are reportedly concluding that Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz could become permanent. They do not like it, and they do not necessarily recognize Tehran’s claims as legitimate. But they increasingly view accommodation with Iran as preferable to returning to a war that would bring additional Iranian missiles and drones crashing into their ports, pipelines, refineries and desalination plants.

An emerging agreement under discussion would reportedly place inbound shipping through Hormuz under Iranian oversight while Oman supervised outbound traffic. The agreement has not been finalized, and Washington remains opposed to allowing Iran to restrict international navigation. Nevertheless, Gulf governments are reportedly willing to contemplate formal Iranian oversight because the alternative may be another destructive regional war.

Think about what that means. The United States possesses aircraft carriers, submarines, stealth bombers, cruise missiles, surveillance satellites and enough firepower to demolish Iranian military installations repeatedly. Yet the Gulf states are concluding that all that American military power still cannot guarantee the uninterrupted movement of their oil and natural gas. Iran does not need to defeat the United States Navy ship for ship. It only needs to make commercial navigation dangerous enough, insurance expensive enough and Gulf infrastructure vulnerable enough that terrified governments begin negotiating for Tehran’s permission to conduct business. That is how an apparently weaker nation converts geography into strategic power.

America can control which ships reach Iran through its naval blockade. Iran can control whether ships belonging to the Gulf states move safely through the waterway. Washington possesses overwhelming firepower, but Tehran possesses the ability to create chaos at the precise point where the global economy can least afford it. We told you back in July of 2024, after Trump got his warning shot to his right ear, that God has put him in power as judgment on America. And so it is.

The Catering Truck Exposed The Truth

The catering truck operation now takes on tremendous symbolic importance. Trump and Hegseth spent months speaking as though Iran had been reduced to strategic irrelevance. But when intelligence officials warned that Iran might be targeting the president, the victory speeches stopped and the professionals went to work. Air Force One became a decoy. Reporters and White House personnel unknowingly became part of the deception. The president and his War Secretary disappeared onto another aircraft.

American intelligence and presidential security officials believed the threat was sufficiently credible to justify one of the most extraordinary presidential extraction operations in modern history. The government did not behave as though Iran had been obliterated, it behaved as though Iran remained organized, dangerous and capable of striking the president of the United States beyond its own borders. That is the reality Americans were not shown while administration officials were celebrating overwhelming victory. The public was given the number of targets destroyed. It was not given an honest assessment of the enemy’s remaining ability to retaliate. Tactical achievements were packaged and sold as strategic victory, while Iran’s most dangerous capabilities survived beneath the rubble.

Iran Lost The Battles But May Have Won The War

Iran never needed to defeat the United States conventionally, as such a victory was always impossible. But as the old saying goes, “there’s more than one way to skin a cat”. Iran’s realistic objectives were to survive, preserve the regime, impose unbearable economic costs, frighten the Gulf monarchies, keep the Strait of Hormuz under threat and force Washington toward negotiations without surrendering Tehran’s regional power. Measured against those objectives, Iran has performed far better than the American public was led to believe.

If the final settlement allows the Iranian regime to survive, gives Tehran formal authority over inbound shipping, produces sanctions relief and ends American military operations without eliminating Iran’s power to threaten its neighbors, then Iran will have achieved a genuine strategic victory despite suffering catastrophic battlefield losses. It will have lost its ships, missile batteries, command centers and military installations while gaining international recognition of the leverage it always wanted over Hormuz. That’s not Iran winning because it was militarily stronger. It is Iran winning because it endured longer, accepted greater pain and convinced its enemies that continuing the war would cost more than tolerating the new Iranian order.

In conclusion, we strongly urge you to disbelieve anything and everything told to us by the Trump administration going forward. They have proven to be patholoigical liars, incapable of truth, and only a complete defeat in the midterms will come close to stopping them. The Iran War is all but over now, America has been roundly humiliated, but worse than that, our enemies like Russia, China and North Korea now see how we can be defeated under Trump. And make no mistake, they’re coming.

Now The End Begins is your front line defense against the rising tide of darkness in the last Days before the Rapture of the Church

When you contribute to this fundraising effort, you are helping us to do what the Lord called us to do. The money you send in goes primarily to the overall daily operations of this site. When people ask for Bibles, we send them out at no charge. When people write in and say how much they would like gospel tracts but cannot afford them, we send them a box at no cost to them for either the tracts or the shipping, no matter where they are in the world. We have a Gospel Billboard program. We are now broadcasting Bible studies, Podcasts and a Sunday Service 5 times a week, thanks to your generous donations. All this is possible because YOU pray for us, YOU support us, and YOU give so we can continue growing.
