Finding Viganò: In Search of the Man Whose Testimony Shook the Church and the World
In 2018, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò released an eleven-page testimony that sent shockwaves through the Catholic world. In it, he denounced deep corruption within the Church, addressed the handling of the sexual abuse crisis—most notably the case of former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick—and, in an unprecedented move, called for the resignation of Pope Francis. Shortly thereafter, Viganò vanished from public view.
In Finding Viganò, veteran Vatican journalist Robert Moynihan, founder and publisher of Inside the Vatican magazine, draws on decades of experience in Rome’s inner circles and a long-standing personal friendship with the archbishop to shed light on both the testimony and the man behind it. Through a series of in-person interviews conducted at undisclosed locations, Moynihan offers readers a rare, intimate portrait of a churchman, driven by conscience to speak out against corruption within the institution he has served his entire life.
Part investigative narrative and part personal memoir, the book traces Moynihan’s efforts to locate Viganò and recounts their meetings, while also reflecting on both men’s lives, families, and the broader crisis confronting the Church today. Readers already familiar with the controversy surrounding Archbishop Viganò will gain deeper insight into his motivations and character, while those new to the story will come away with a clear understanding of the testimony, its aftermath, and the key figures involved.
Finding Viganò is a thoughtful, gripping examination of conscience, courage, and the ongoing struggle for truth within the Catholic Church.
