In a shocking open letter that has sparked outrage and debate, excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano has labeled Vice President Kamala Harris an “infernal monster who obeys Satan.” Vigano, once a prominent Vatican official and staunch critic of Pope Francis, issued this incendiary statement as he urged Catholic voters to reject Harris in favor of Donald Trump, framing the election as a battle between good and evil.
Vigano’s comments come in the wake of his excommunication from the Catholic Church earlier this year, a consequence of his accusations against the Pope and his controversial views on various political matters. In his latest letter, Vigano paints a dire picture of America under a Harris administration, predicting “moral, social, and economic destruction” and the rise of a “ferocious dictatorship.” He implores Catholics to recognize the gravity of their choice at the polls, positioning Trump as a defender against what he calls an anti-Catholic and anti-Christian agenda.
“The choice is between a conservative president, who is paying with his very life for his fight against the deep state, and an infernal monster,” Vigano declared, tapping into a narrative of crisis that resonates with some segments of the electorate. Despite his disagreements with Trump on issues like abortion, he sees the former president as the lesser of two evils, asserting that voting for Trump means standing against a “hellish dystopia.”
Vigano’s assertions extend beyond mere political critique; he alleges that Harris is under the control of a sinister group that includes figures like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and George Soros, whom he claims are united by “satanic hatred” against Christianity. This rhetoric has raised alarm among many who view it as a dangerous blend of conspiracy theory and religious zealotry.
As the election approaches, Vigano’s words reflect a broader sentiment among certain voters, with polls indicating that Trump currently leads Harris among Catholic voters by a narrow margin. The implications of such statements, however, raise pressing questions about the intersection of faith and politics in America, particularly in an election season characterized by heightened polarization.
Vigano concludes his letter with a fervent call to action for Catholics to vote without hesitation and pray for guidance, framing the election as a pivotal moment for the faith and the future of the nation. As his remarks continue to circulate, the political landscape grows ever more charged, underscoring the powerful role that rhetoric—especially when laced with religious significance—can play in shaping voter sentiment and election outcomes.
