Truth & Evidence - Viganò's Third Letter

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò's third letter was reviewed by americamagazine.org  in an article entitled In third letter Viganò repeats accusations but offers no new evidence on McCarrick case [1]. The entirety of the letter is published by lifesitenews.com  in an article entitled Archbishop Viganò issues third testimony, refutes accusations of Cardinal Ouellet [2] in which Archbishop Viganò specifically said, "Let me restate the key points of my testimony," [3] key words that americamagazine.org  failed to mention in its article.

Archbishop Viganò's third letter was a continuing dialogue between him and those who in the Catholic hierarchy subservient to Bergoglio.  It was never intended to introduce new evidence.  The conclusion that this third letter repeats the first without presenting new evidence misses the point, the point being that evidence so difficult to obtain in this world is not the case before God.

Before God one does not need to offer documents or testimony to prove the truth.  God knows everything.  From God one cannot run or hide.  One can do nothing but tremble (this blogger had experienced this once -- it was absolute fear in full mental nakedness).  Archbishop Viganò apparently knows this, quoting from his third letter [4]:

But I am an old man, one who knows he must soon give an accounting to the Judge for his actions and omissions, one who fears Him who can cast body and soul into hell. A Judge who, even in his infinite mercy, will render to every person salvation or damnation according to what he has deserved. Anticipating the dreadful question from that Judge – “How could you, who had knowledge of the truth, keep silent in the midst of falsehood and depravity?” -- what answer could I give?

This Judge, sometimes referred to as the "terrible" Judge, is considered by some to be "terrible" not because the Judge is nasty, wrong or unfair but because "[He] will render to every person salvation or damnation according to what he has deserved" "even in [H]is infinite mercy," [5].  He is feared because of one's sins.  This blogger believes that upon seeing humility and repentance, the Judge lets His abundant love and mercy take over, leading souls to Heaven, possibly through Purgatory.

The question in the above-quoted passage would probably not be the only "dreadful" one asked of Carlo Maria Viganò, if indeed there is even a question and answer period.  This blogger thinks that there is none.  In absolute silence before the Judge, the soul knows with unbearable clarity (too much clarity) every truth and every sin resulted from commission and omission sending unmitigable fear throughout its entire constitution.

If anyone thinks that the game of "hide and seek" with the truth has to do only with worldly evidence and ends when life ends, one needs to think again, carefully.
