Video: Pope Francis greets Archbishop Viganò at a June 21, 2013, meeting

In his document accusing Pope Francis of knowing about and ignoring allegations of sexual misconduct by then-Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, the former papal nuncio to the U.S., Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, said that at the end of a meeting June 21, 2013, “The pope wished to greet all the nuncios one by one. In single file, I remember that I was among the last. When it was my turn, I just had time to say to him, ‘I am the nuncio to the United States.’ He immediately assailed me with a tone of reproach, using these words: ‘The bishops in the United States must not be ideologized! They must be shepherds!’” The following video clip from the Vatican Television Center archives shows Archbishop Vigano greeting Pope Francis that day.

C.S. Lewis Doodle: On Ethics

The lighthouse of Christianity shines because it is based on the reality of an objective and universal Moral Code that we mysteriously know & have broken. It is this truth which makes Christianity's offer of forgiveness, and its gift of supernatural help towards keeping that Moral Code, so incredible. In this foundational doodle, Lewis shows that the conscience is as old as Adam & Eve. It is not an invention of civilisation or of great human teachers, but has always been there, witnessing away in the human soul.
