Phil Lawler, the editor of Catholic World News, contacted Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the former apostolic nuncio to the United States, to question him about his outspoken views on the authority of Vatican II. “I do not think that it is necessary to demonstrate that the Council represents a problem,” the archbishop says, “the simple fact that we are raising this question about Vatican II and not about Trent or Vatican I seems to me to confirm a fact that is obvious and recognized by everyone.”
