(LifeSiteNews) – Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has given his blessing to a 3-day fast organized by a Catholic civil rights attorney who represents January 6 detainees.
“I hope that this initiative will find many adherents, in a spirit of true reparation of the innumerable sins and grave betrayals committed,” Viganò wrote in a letter sent to New York-based lawyer Joseph McBride on the last day of 2022.
“I can only encourage and bless this commendable gesture of penance, to be accompanied by prayer – above all the Holy Rosary – for the beloved Nation which I had the privilege of knowing during my office as Apostolic Nuncio,” he added.
McBride first reached out to the archbishop on December 28 via email in the hope he would give his blessing for the fast, which is being held from Tuesday, January 3 until Thursday, January 5. McBride said he believes God called him to organize the fast in order to “best prepare for these coming battles.”
“White Catholic and Christian America First Conservatives are being targeted for destruction in the United States by a Satanic Globalist Order. This Order has hijacked the American Government and America’s Institutions. Washington, DC is the Synagogue of Satan from which the Spirit of the Antichrist reigns supreme,” he wrote.

UPDATE (1/3/23: John-Henry Westen will hand-deliver this petition to the Vatican in the coming days, so please SIGN and SHARE it with as many people as possible.
—-
America’s best loved pro-life priest, Fr. Frank Pavone, the National Director of Priests for Life as well as the President of the National Pro-Life Religious Council, has been laicized (dismissed from the priesthood) by order of Pope Francis.
SIGN: This outrageous attack on the pro-life movement by the so-called “listening Church” is a mockery of justice. Stand by Fr. Pavone ASAP!
A December 13 letter to all bishops in America, sent from the Pope’s representative in America – the Papal Nuncio Fr. Christophe Pierre – said that Fr. Pavone was laicized for “blasphemous communications on social media” and “persistent disobedience of the lawful instructions of his diocesan bishop.”
In a separate statement, the papal nuncio wrote that the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Clergy – the head of the Vatican’s department dealing with priests – said that there was “no possibility of appeal” of the decision.
DEMAND JUSTICE: Pope Francis’ totalitarian regime cannot strike down faithful pro-life priests like Fr. Frank Pavone without international outrage!
The statement calls Fr. Pavone, “Mr. Pavone.”
“Since Priests for Life, Inc. is not a Catholic organization, Mr. Pavone’s continuing role in it as a lay person would be entirely up to the leadership of that organization,” the statement says.
The statement notes that the decision on the matter by the Dicastery for Clergy was issued on November 9, but Fr. Pavone had not heard of the decision from the Vatican until CNA called him for comment.
SIGN AND STAND UP NOW: DEMAND THAT POPE FRANCIS IMMEDIATELY STOP HIS ATTACKS AGAINST FAITHFUL PRIESTS!
If Pope Francis and this Vatican regime can get away with expelling faithful priests like Fr. Frank Pavone, then the Catholic Church may truly be entering the darkest period of her existence!
SIGN NOW!

McBride, who represents a handful of detainees, further explained to the archbishop how he became a devout Catholic and why he took the cases of the protesters in the first place.
“I have had some setbacks and successes during the last two years of litigation. My team, clients, and I recently entered the critical and enormously consequential trial phase of my January 6th related cases, during which the fate of my clients and their families will be made known.”
“I hope that the suffering Christ in you will recognize the suffering Christ in me, and that you will join me during this pivotal time of fasting and prayer,” he said.
Viganò’s response to McBride concluded, “May these three days of fasting in union with the Passion of Our Lord obtain from the divine Majesty the victory of the children of Light over the workers of iniquity. And may Mary Most Holy, terrible defeater of the infernal Serpent, be able to accompany and protect us in this spiritual battle.”
As this story goes to press, there are more than 950 individuals still behind bars for participating in the January 6 protests. Many have been held in solitary confinement while others have been without trial for upwards of 18 months. In November 0f 2021, GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene visited the DC jail where the protesters are being held. She described the deplorable conditions they were living in as a form of “human rights abuse.”
