A controversial former Roman Catholic archbishop who was excommunicated earlier this year has told American Catholics that there is “no question” that they must vote for former President Donald Trump – because Vice President Kamala Harris is “a hellish monster, that obeys Satan.”

Carlo Maria Vigano, who served as the Vatican's ambassador to the United States from 2011 to 2016, wrote a fiery open letter to American Catholics in November this year in which he said they must “choose between two radically opposite paths to governing yours.” to conceive a nation.” ”

“The choice is between a conservative president who pays with his life for his fight against the deep state and an infernal monster who obeys Satan,” Vigano wrote.

“For a Catholic, there is no question: voting for Kamala Harris is morally impermissible and a very grave sin. It is also morally impossible to abstain, because in this war, declaring neutrality means allying with the enemy.” he said.

He continued that electing Trump “means a clear distancing from an anti-Catholic, anti-Christian and anti-human vision of society.” It means stopping those who want to create a hellish dystopia even worse than the one announced by George Orwell. “

Vigano was excommunicated from the Catholic Church in July for his harsh criticism of Pope Francis and modern church reforms at the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s.

His letter contains references to numerous conspiracy theories, including the “Deep State” calling the last presidential election a “2020 fraud” and suggesting that world governments orchestrated climate change “to give credibility to the global warming fraud.” make”.

The former Archbishop of Ulpiana also addressed current cultural issues in the United States, such as the ideology of the “woke” faith and the teaching of sexually explicit content in public schools, which he described as “dens of indoctrination and corruption starting in kindergarten.” .

Vigano called Harris “a puppet” controlled by former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and liberal billionaire George Soros.

He called Trump “the only possible choice to counter the globalist coup that the woke left will carry out definitively, irreversibly and with incalculable damage to future generations.”

“We want Christ to reign, and we proudly proclaim: Christ is King! They want the Antichrist to rule, whose tyranny is chaos, war, disease, famine and death,” Vigano added.

A Pew Research Center poll released last month found that 52% of Catholics plan to vote for Trump, while 47% support Harris.
