Pope Francis critic excommunicated by the Vatican
By : Vidya
An Italian archbishop and staunch critic of Pope Francis has been excommunicated by the Vatican, its doctrinal office has said. Carlo Maria Vigano was found guilty of schism - meaning he has split from the Catholic Church - after years of fierce disagreement with the pontiff. The 83-year-old ultra-conservative has previously called on the Pope to resign, accusing him of heresy and criticising his stances on immigration, climate change and same-sex couples. Archbishop Vigano was a senior figure in the Church, serving as papal envoy to Washington from 2011 to 2016.
