Abp. Viganò: Christ would not recognize His Church in ‘the sect’ that’s eclipsing the See of Peter Your first question is as direct as it is disarming: “If the King of Kings and Lord of Lords were to return today in His glory, would he still recognize His Bride, the Church?” Of course He would recognize Her! But not in the sect that eclipses the See of Peter,
Christ left a church headed up by a prophet/president (Peter) &12 apostles who were married and earning their living in their chosen professions instead of living off the people.

It’s surely no mere coincidence that moral and doctrinal chaos simultaneously reigns in the structures of the Church and in our secular polity. I am terrified and overwhelmed by the implications. Day by day I struggle to stand against a creeping despair.
