Carlo Maria Viganò, a Catholic archbishop and former nuncio of the Holy See in the United States, said that because of the approval of blessings for homosexual couples, he considers Pope Francis and his entire hierarchy to be servants of Satan.

He called the Fiducia Supplicans Declaration allowing the blessing of same-sex marriages an "Overton window" and noted that it "finally breaks through the veil of hypocrisy and deception of the Bergoglian (Pope Francis' last name is Bergoglio - Ed.) hierarchy, showing these false shepherds for what they really are: servants of Satan and his most zealous allies".

Archbishop Viganò also called the Vatican "an abomination of desolation" and Pope Francis - "a usurper who sits on the Throne of the Apostle Peter" and "sins against the Holy Spirit."

"The false pastoral concern of Bergoglio and his courtiers towards adulterers, concubines and sodomites must be condemned above all by the supposed beneficiaries of the Vatican document, who are the first victims of conciliar and synodal pharisaism. It is their immortal souls that are being sacrificed to an awakened idol because on Judgment Day they will find themselves to have been deceived and betrayed by those who hold the authority of Christ on Earth," Viganò said.

He also called Francis a "false shepherd" and said that many members of the Catholic hierarchy "hope to receive, sooner or later, the same blessing along with their associates in vice, affirming the sacrilegious and sinful way of life they have already been leading, with Bergoglio's ostensible consent."

"Let's ask ourselves: what does Bergoglio want to achieve? Nothing good, nothing truthful, nothing holy. He does not want souls to be saved. He does not proclaim the Gospel in a timely manner, persistently urging souls to turn to Christ. He does not show them the beaten and bloodied Savior to inspire them to change their lives. No. Bergoglio wants their damnation, as a hellish tribute to Satan and a brazen challenge to God," stated Cardinal Carlo Maria Viganò.

As reported, an RCC cardinal called the blessing of gay couples blasphemy.
