If I remember correctly, Archbishop Vigano said that Pope Benedict never did sign, would never sign, rejected out of hand the "agreement" referred to by the politician prelate Parolin. If your choice about who to believe is Vigano or Parolin, which one has greater credibility? In my assessment, Vigano has much greater credibility because he is a straight shooter. No doublespeak. He cites dates, times, concrete events and circumstances. He names names. No cover up, as contrasted with the Vatican.
