83-year-old Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, critic of Pope Francis, excommunicated by Vatican for schism.

The Vatican has excommunicated 83-year-old Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, a staunch critic of Pope Francis, for schism. Vigano, who previously served as papal envoy to Washington from 2011 to 2016, has consistently opposed Pope Francis on various issues, including immigration, climate change, and same-sex couples, and even called for the Pope's resignation. The Vatican's doctrinal office found him guilty of refusing to submit to Pope Francis, leading to the excommunication decision.
