DICASTERY FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH
Press Release About the Conclusion of the Extrajudicial Penal Process
Against
His Excellency, the Most Rev. Carlo Maria Viganò (5 July 2024)
On 4 July 2024, the Congress of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith met
to conclude the extrajudicial penal process referred to in canon 1720 CIC against
the Most Reverend Carlo Maria Viganò, titular Archbishop of Ulpiana, accused of
the reserved delict of schism (canons 751 and 1364 CIC; art. 2 SST).
His public statements manifesting his refusal to recognize and submit to the
Supreme Pontiff, his rejection of communion with the members of the Church
subject to him, and of the legitimacy and magisterial authority of the Second
Vatican Ecumenical Council are well known.
At the conclusion of the penal process, the Most Reverend Carlo Maria Viganò was
found guilty of the reserved delict of schism.
The Dicastery declared the latae sententiae excommunication in accordance
with canon 1364 § 1 CIC.
The lifting of the censure in these cases is reserved to the Apostolic See.
This decision was communicated to the Most Reverend Viganò on 5 July 2024.
