Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, former apostolic nuncio to the United States of America, received the excommunication imposed ex officio for having wanted to abandon communion with the Bishop of Rome and the Catholic Church. «On 4 July 2024 – we read in the statement released by the Dicastery – the Congress of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith met to conclude the extrajudicial criminal trial ex can. 1720 CIC against” Monsignor Carlo Maria Viganò, titular archbishop of Ulpiana, “accused of the reserved crime of schism (cann. 751 and 1364 CIC; art. 2 SST)”.
«His public statements are known – continues the statement – which show his refusal to recognize and submit to the Supreme Pontiff, of communion with the members of the Church subject to him and of the legitimacy and magisterial authority of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council». «At the end of the criminal trial», Viganò «was found guilty of the reserved crime of schism. The Dicastery declared the excommunication latae sentencentiae ex can. 1364 § 1 CIC. The removal of censorship in these cases is reserved to the Apostolic See.” The decision was communicated to the archbishop on 5 July 2024.

As is known, last June 21st it was the prelate himself who fully disclosed the decree that summoned him to Rome to answer the charges, giving him the possibility until June 28th to appoint a defense lawyer to represent him or to send a defense brief. Since this did not happen, he was assigned a public defender who carried out Viganò’s defense according to the rules of law.
On several occasions, in recent years, the former nuncio to the USA had declared that he did not recognize the legitimacy of the Pope and the last council. Latae sentencentiae excommunication is incurred for the very fact of having committed the crime. The excommunicated person is prohibited from celebrating Mass and the other sacraments; to receive the sacraments; to administer the sacramentals and celebrate other liturgical worship ceremonies;
to have any active part in the celebrations just mentioned; to exercise offices or duties or ministries or ecclesiastical functions; to carry out government actions. The meaning of excommunication, however, is that of being a medicinal punishment that invites repentance, so we are always waiting for the person to return to communion.
