Vatican accuses Archbishop Viganò of schism and denying Pope's legitimacy.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, a leading Pope critic, has been accused by the Vatican of schism and denying the pope's legitimacy. Viganò, who has been critical of Pope Francis, was summoned to the Palace of the Holy Office at the Vatican on charges of schism, an extremely rare move. The charges come as the Vatican seeks to take more formal action against conservative critics of Pope Francis. If convicted, Viganò could face defrocking and excommunication.
