Summary
In 2018, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganó released an 11-page testimony that rocked the world. In it, he called out the corruption of the Church, especially with regards to its handling of the sexual abuse crisis - addressing most specifically the case of disgraced Cardinal Theodore McCarrick - and stunningly called for the resignation of Pope Francis. And then he was gone...at least physically.
In Finding Viganó, longtime Vatican journalist Robert Moynihan, publisher of Inside the Vatican magazine, brings to bear his vast experience in the corridors of power in Rome as well as his longstanding friendship with Viganó to produce a book that both provides an incisive look at the content of the Testimony itself, but also, through interviews conducted in-person with Viganó at undisclosed locations, a personal look at the man whose conscience compelled him to speak out about the “filth” in which the Church he loves and to which he has given his life, has been mired for years.
Part thriller, as when Moynihan details his efforts to reach Viganó and makes his way to their meeting, and part personal memoir as both men reflect on their lives, families, and the state of the Church in the world, Finding Viganó has something for everyone. Those familiar with the Viganó saga will appreciate the insights into the man provided through the interviews, while those unfamiliar with the drama of the Testimony will, after listening, have a better understanding of the key issues and players involved.

A long book, but informative.
A long book but informative nonetheless. Amusingly lots of focus is placed on trivia details, this is not negative, but it makes for a long read/listen. Book gives a good insight into Fr. Vigano’s journey and is highly recommended.

Very Disappointing
I didn't finish this book - it was a huge disappointment. I bought it thinking it would be full of intrigue, tension and skulduggery. It could have been if it had been written differently. Instead, I found it to be little more than a tedious list of dates and conversations - I had very high hopes, but sadly I had to give up at about half way.
