In my view, this sounds like part of the show, I think Vigano is probably in on. Just like Lefebvre and SSPX. They set up “conservatives” they can ban as “schismatic”. Our position is rather the Vatican is in schism and Francis is neither a Catholic nor a pope. The Vatican’s legitimacy must be undermined and tradition promoted instead, so that a traditional Catholic pope is elected who rejects Vatican 2 and believes and practices the Catholic faith.

(Also why it seemed like a waste of time for me to try to do anything under the Vatican only to be “excommunicated”. Catholicism is “excommunicated” under the Vatican… meaning that the Vatican itself is not Catholic, and itself excommunicated, rather instead.)
