Archbishop Exiled by Pope Francis Says Kamala Harris 'Obeys Satan'
Carlo Maria Viganò, an archbishop that was excommunicated by Pope Francis, in a new letter addressed to American voters wrote that Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, "obeys Satan."
"In this election you must choose between two radically opposed ways of conceiving the government of your Nation: you are called to choose between democracy and dictatorship, between freedom and slavery," Viganò wrote in a Tuesday letter.
Viganò, who once served as the Vatican's ambassador to the United States, wrote that former President Donald Trump "who, despite serious problems in his positions...has as his objective the common good and the protection of the fundamental freedoms of citizens."
The former archbishop added that in Trump's America, "every Catholic can practice their faith and educate their children" without state interference.
Viganò wrote that Harris "promotes everything that directly opposes the Faith and Morals of the Catholic Church."
"In Kamala Harris' America, Catholics – but also Protestants – are considered fundamentalists to be marginalized and eliminated, and their children are considered the property of the State, which arrogates to itself the right to lead them astray from an early age in both body and soul," his letter reads. "Trump's America can become great and prosperous again. Harris' America is destined for invasion and for moral, social, and economic destruction: the most ferocious dictatorship."
Viganò also shared his concerns that cities have become full of criminals, drug dealers and sex workers and that schools indoctrinate children from kindergarten onwards.
"In these four disastrous years of the Biden-Harris administration, we have had a puppet in the White House and a corrupt and incompetent Vice President who has never stopped lying and deceiving voters about her past and her future," Viganò wrote.
He continued: "The choice is between a conservative President, who is paying with his very life for his fight against the deep state, and an infernal monster who obeys Satan. For a Catholic, there can be no question: voting for Kamala Harris is morally inadmissible and constitutes a very grave sin. Nor is it morally possible to abstain, because in this war declaring oneself neutral means allying oneself with the enemy."

Carlo Maria Viganò (Italian pronunciation: [vigaˈnɔ]; born 16 January 1941) is an Italian traditionalist Catholic archbishop who served as Apostolic Nuncio to the United States from 2011 to 2016 and as secretary-general of the Governorate of Vatican City State from 2009 to 2011. He is known for having publicized the Vatican leaks scandal of 2012, in which he revealed financial corruption in the Vatican, and a 2018 letter accusing Pope Francis and other Catholic leaders of covering up sexual abuse allegations against former cardinal Theodore McCarrick. In 2024, Viganò was charged by the Vatican with schism.[1] He was declared guilty and excommunicated.[2]
Viganò was ordained a priest in 1968 and spent most of his career working in a diplomatic capacity for the Holy See. As a priest, he served on a number of diplomatic missions before being consecrated a bishop by Pope John Paul II in 1992. After becoming a bishop, Viganò continued to his diplomatic career, spending six years as nuncio in Nigeria before being transferred to Rome. Viganò was appointed secretary general of the Vatican City Governorate in 2009, where he reformed the finances of Vatican City and turned a budget deficit into a surplus. He complained directly to Pope Benedict XVI about financial corruption. The unauthorized publication of two of his letters led to the Vatican leaks scandal, exposing financial mismanagement and wrongdoing in the Vatican. He was then transferred to the position of apostolic nuncio to the United States in 2011 over his objections. While in the United States, Viganò earned a reputation as a conservative, arranging a controversial meeting between Pope Francis and former county clerk Kim Davis, known for her opposition to same-sex marriage, during the Pope's 2015 visit to the United States. A priest accused him of suppressing allegations of sexual misconduct against Archbishop John Clayton Nienstedt, but he denied doing so. Viganò's term as ambassador ended in 2016.
On 25 August 2018, Viganò published an 11-page letter accusing Pope Francis and numerous other senior church leaders of concealing allegations of sexual misconduct against McCarrick. Viganò stated that Pope Benedict XVI imposed sanctions on McCarrick in response to accusations that were made against him, but that Pope Francis refused to enforce them and that he made McCarrick an important advisor. Viganò called on Francis to resign. The letter provoked diverse reactions within the church, with some expressing support for the allegations and calling for further investigation and others defending Francis, questioning the statements made in the letter, and attacking Viganò's credibility.

What the Polls Show Among Catholic Voters
In a recent poll by National Catholic Reporter, Trump was ahead by 5 percentage points in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. While Trump led by 16 percentage points among white Catholic voters, the data showed that seven out of 10 Hispanic Catholics and more than three-quarters of Black Catholics preferred Harris.
The survey was based on the responses of 1,172 Catholic voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin between October 3 and 8. The margin of error was 2.86 percent.
Data from last month by Pew Research showed similar results. In a survey conducted from August to September, Pew found Catholic respondents overall were likelier to vote for Trump "if the 2024 presidential election were held today," leading by five percentage points. However, the results split significantly between subgroups, with 61 percent of white Catholics picking Trump and 65 percent of Hispanic Catholics choosing Harris.
