ROME — The archbishop who accused Pope Francis
of covering up a cardinal’s sexual misconduct has escalated his
offensive with new, detailed accusations that put increasing pressure on
a pontiff who the archbishop and his supporters say has misled the
faithful and should resign.
The
accuser, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, initially said he would turn off
his phone and disappear into hiding for fear of his safety. But he then
made a series of new accounts in conservative Roman Catholic news
outlets.
In a new letter published late Friday
by the conservative website LifeSiteNews, the archbishop gave his
version of events leading up to the pope’s controversial September 2015
meeting with Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who refused to issue same-sex
marriage licenses. His description contradicted the Vatican’s own
account of that private meeting, maintaining that Francis’ lieutenants
lied to the public about the encounter, which threatened to eclipse the
pope’s entire trip to the United States that month.
