Because the pope is the legitimate successor to st Peter, and he is the vicar of Christ. Being a bishop and denying the pope's legitimate authority publicly is a huge sin akin to denying the entirety of your faith.
Vigano is essentially rejecting Christianity and is self excommunicating. The process here is to add legitimacy so theres less chance of schism.
If vigano wants to help the church and the world then he should be fighting the evils in the world and not denying his faith.
And it cracks me up that atheists and protestants are so invested in this process when they deny the entirety of it. It's almost like you guys just can't escape the fact that God exists and this is his church. You're drawn to it whether you acknowledge it or not
You're right, of course, but that isn't going to sway the critics here. The modern world is full of people who have convinced themselves they know better than everyone else because they have spent five minutes reading watching a video about a topic.
They know everything they need to know about the Vigano and the Pope because they've heard it from the media. Even though they know the media is biased because, apparently, highlighting media bias is meant to be the whole point of this site. Even though they routinely virtue signal about how much they hate journalists ("you don't hate journalists enough!"). They can't see that the reality they perceive is strongly shaped by all this pervasive propaganda, especially with regard to anything that threatens evil, and that only holding on to clear objective principles - such as obeying the hierarchy instituted by our King - can we fight against our enemy, who is none other than the prince of this world.
