Not a Catholic so I can't speak as to the impact of this on the Catholic Church of Vigano's excommunication but Christianity in the West is dying and has been for the past 20 years.

Look the what's happened in denominations such as the Episcopal church, the Anglican Communion as well as the Roman Catholic church, the level of corruption and evil at the highest levels.

Then look at the coordinated attacks by various extremist groups and political factions in the West.

Let's face it, it's popular to hate Christianity in the West, hence why Francis was elevated into his position.

Ironically, Christianity is actually growing behind the former Soviet bloc countries and still remains strong in the old Warsaw pact nations.

The Orthodox church is stronger than ever in Russia and it's growing stronger in the countries around Russia, except in the more Muslim dominated ones bordering the middle eastern nations.

In order to rebuild the Catholic church it will need to grow through what the Eastern Orthodox church did during Soviet times. It needs to be figuratively burned down and cleansed of the internal rot and filth infesting it's structure.

Sometimes it's better to completely demolish a termite infested house and rebuild from scratch.

I mean, when I heard that the Vatican had their own bank! and it was a very powerful institution with billions in assets and major influence in many countries I was floored.

I recalled the scene laid out in scripture about Christ and what he did to the moneychangers in the Temple, now today's moneychangers OWN THE TEMPLE.
