The Hermitage of the Holy Cross? — An appeal

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

By next Tuesday, I will be in Rome. As soon as I can, I will make a video and publish it here, as I visit one of the Sacred Basilicas of the City.

As  you know, I am returning to Rome to do what little I can by being a part of the Church of Rome and standing against the spirit of apostasy which coagulating there in our days.

When I came to Rome to defend Pope Benedict XVI in 2019, on October 19th, I never thought I would be in the city so many years. Nor did I know where I would find help to do that. It was by an inspiration to fight back, after an important Vatican secretary attempted to gaslight me via telephone, that I decided to start FromRome.Info as a daily electronic journal. It was through this means I found the support for my work defending Pope Benedict XVI and explaining why he was still the pope.

Being a Franciscan I had to beg, because having taken the vow of poverty back in 1993, I had already given everything I had to the poor and have lived by begging for my needs. And while that is necessary, I am always worrying that I might waste the support of my benefactors.

While I was in Rome from 2019 to 2023, in rent alone I spent 900 to 1300 a month in rentals. Over four years that amounted to more than 52,000 euros, since I lost one of my deposits.

Thus, now that I am about to return I am concerned to not waste my benefactors monies as much as I can. Those who deal in such things tell me that I should consider having the non profit which helps me, purchase a place, rather than collect your donations to pay rents to others, money that disappears.

Until recently I have never seen a property suitable to be a hermitage which was inexpensive. But while spending so much time looking at real estate sites in the last two weeks, I rant upon this offer which seems would be an ideal hermitage.

A Possible Hermitage

It sits on two acres and is about 1900 square feet in livable space. Plus its remote and in rather good condition. Best of all it is located in one of the suburbican Dioceses of Rome, so by living there I would keep my ecclesiastical residence at Rome.

I think you will agree from these photographs, that it is a beautiful place:





The asking price is 129,500 Euro, or about $140,000 USD or 108 thousand pounds sterling. That is a very good price for Italy.

As I have never raised so much, I have contacted the owner to see if they would agree to a rent to own, on a ten year basis, which would amount to something like 1,250 euro a month (including financing costs).  Considering that the last rental you helped me live in cost 1300 a month, this seems doable.

So, I am asking those who want to help me in the most economical way obtain a hermitage (which will be owned by a non profit), to consider make a donation for this purpose. — All funds will be placed in a 501(c)(3) dedicated account for this purpose. — It’s you alone who can make this possible. I ask your prayers and I thank each of you who can help in any way, in advance. May the Lord Jesus give you His Thrice Blessed protections!

Yes; but Anne, the worst sin of Acedia is pretending the Sutri Initiative doesn’t exist

Editor’s Note: As of October 19, it will have been one year that Ann Barnhardt has known about the Sutri Initiative but decided to keep silent lest Catholics rise up and obtain in a provincial council the removal of Pope Francis from office. Being indifferent to his continued claim to be pope is the worst kind of Acadia, Anne. And this is your sin and the sin of Don Minutella and Andrea Cionci. When are you going to confront the elephant in the room! I cannot express in words how disappointed I am with the sincerity of each of you!

You each and all seem to imagine, if not believe, that just because you say the truth, the whole Church ought to automatically accept it and live accordingly. As if the Church were a computer, which, when loaded with a new program, did different things! — Whereas the true Church of Christ has ever and always made such important decisions in Councils, general or provincial or regional. — So your credibility is individually and collectively questioned and dashed upon the rocks, when you each individually and collectively omit any call for a Council to depose Pope Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio) or declare his claim to the papacy invalid, illegitimate, wrong or false.

Padre Giorgio M Faré: Pope Benedict XVI was the true pope until his death

Introduction and Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Since 2016, Father Faré who had obtained in 2013 a Doctorate in Theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University at Rome, found himself profoundly shocked by a statement of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, and so began years of profound study to understand what was going on in the Church. From the context of his comments he appears to be a priest in the region of Milan. In this discourse, he publicly announces his position on the Renunciation of Pope Benedict XVI with clarity, eloquence and precision.

Not knowing of the Assembly of Apostolic Right, he believes furthermore that Pope Francis has never been validly juridically elected. He states, however, that he is not a sedevacantist in principle — he calls his position, that of recognizing an undeclared sede-vacante resulting from the mere juridical fact that there has been no election of a pope after the death of Pope Benedict XVI. He also cites the other books he has used. He evidently does not read English. And though he cites many juridical sources, he evidently is entirely ignorant of the right of the Roman Church to elect her own Bishop.

Father Faré, despite his doctorate in theology, makes several statements which are grossly erroneous or highly problematic.

First, he states that in virtue of a valid papal election, the person of the pope is incapable of falling into heresy. This is not what the Church teaches. The Church teaches that in virtue of his papal office, which shares in the Church’s own gift of indefectibility, he cannot teach — that is impose as a doctrine to be accepted by a juridical obligation — what is contrary to the faith. But that the man who is the pope can fall into and be the promoter of error is a fact of history and the assertion of many saints, such as Saint Alphonsus dei Liguori, doctor of the Church, affirms explicitly when he writes of the man who is pope and his personal opinions, “Who can be ignorant of the fact that a pope can be obnoxious because of his errors?”, in his tract on papal infallibility. And there is the famous case of Honorius I who signed a letter which contained material heresy in that it affirmed that in Christ there was one animus, not two wills, Divine and Human. — On the other hand, yes, there have been many writers, even Saints and Blesseds, who held that it was probable that Christ would not allow His Vicar to fall into heresy. But they did not specify if this was public or non public heresy. Because canonically, if a man is not condemned for heresy by a legitimate juridical judgement of a legitimate ecclesiastical authority, even his manifest, formal and pertinacious heresy has not be juridically established and thus in law is public heresy, which is what “heresy” in the plain sense of the term means when speaking of heresy, that is of an enemy of God’s teaching. So to what sense Christ would not allow His Vicar to become a heretic is certain a point worthy of debate. But without a Provincial Council to reprehend the man, we can never know with certitude where the grace and favor of the Lord stands.

Second, he holds a novel position that Pope Benedict XVI renounced the ministerium, not the munus, to make the subsequent Conclave canonically invalid, so as to prevent a globalist being elected through the canvassing of votes. While it is certainly possible that Pope Benedict XVI knew of the future intentions of the Mafia of St. Gallen, it is hardly rational to suppose he renounced invalidly to prevent a future Conclave electing invalidly a globalist contender, made invalid by a secret but never known vote canvassing, since there would never have been a Conclave if Pope Benedict XVI’s Declaration had not appeared to be a renunciation! — No, rather, as I have shown, the only rational explanation, if Benedict XVI was not in any way confused or in error was that he did not intend anyone alive in his own time being validly elected, as I explained in my parable, Viva Guadalajara! But even such a supposition, which I humourously advanced, would not leave Pope Benedict XVI free from being charged with grave and exaggerated presumption of attempting to control who would be his successor.

Rather, the only way to entirely exculpate Benedict XVI has to be either to establish he was forced — but all the witnesses who had familiarity with him deny — or that he was operating under some sort of philosophical error, namely, that the Papacy is merely a title and ministry, and does not contain a substantial being, or essere, which has to be properly named with the term “munus”: an error into which he fell not intentionally but as a philosophical consequence of his habitual life-long rejection of the terminological and ideological schema of Scholastic Theology and Philosophy.

Third, Father Faré says that Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI bound the Church in such a wise that a pope cannot be validly juridically elected except by the Cardinals in a Conclave in virtue of the Papal Law. But as I have often said, the preface to the Papal Law, Universi Dominici gregis, does not say that at all. In fact, it admits that the institution of the Conclave of Cardinals is not essential or necessary for a valid papal election. But Father Fare, without a degree in canon law, obviously cannot be expected to understand the hierarchy of rights, and the relationship between Apostolic Right to Canon Law and Papal Law, nor understand that why in every key passage of the canons and the Papal Law, the text speaks not of legal or canonical validity but of juridical legitimacy.

But, fourth, and the worse of all is that of which Father Fare is most likely not at all culpable, namely, that he has considered the problem, but not the solution. Because no affirmation of the invalidity of Pope Benedict XVI’s renunciation solves the present problem of a manifest, formal and pertinacious heretic claiming the office of the Papacy. Only the Sutri Initiative addresses that. And unless you call for that, you solve nothing, though you might score points for virtue signalling. And it only makes sense, because nothing in the Church can be done regarding an apparent anti-pope or heretic claiming the papacy, except in a Provincial Council of the ecclesiastical province of Rome.

Father ends, however, with a hopeless situation in which he urges us to have hope, namely, that the Church will one day have a legitimate pope, but we will never know how or why, since he has already affirmed that Cardinals appointed by an antipope cannot validly elect a pope. The fact that he has so carefully considered the past, but not the future, is thus, ultimately the most amazing thing to me, since wisdom consists first in prudence, that is foresight, not in understanding.

His analysis is refreshing, nevertheless, for this, for his repeated urging that Catholics not break from ecclesial communion, not condemn other Catholics or clergy whose personal knowledge of these matter is not so clear, and not join any sect which believes it is the true remnant of believers. And yes he explicitly states that he has no intention of joining Don Minutella’s “Priestly Fraternity”.

Here are other versions of his homily, made by other channels.

New Heretical “to be” Brazilian Cardinal lays hands on women as the Apostles did

Editor’s Note: This Bishop claims to “lay hands” on women sent to baptize, as the Apostles laid hands on women. This is pure heresy. The Apostles did no such thing. He is massively gender-confused, and a public liar. He is also involved in the worse kind of sacrilegious fraud, as he is attempting to ordain women in a way that could mean “deacons”, “priests” or “bishops”. It’s a phrase concealing a studied and intentional heretical ambiguity. — Under John Paul II Bishops who did such things were suspended a divinis. He is obviously plotting with Pope Francis to change belief by changing practice, a clear Masonic-Marxist strategy. What more reason do you need to participate in the Sutri Initiative to get Pope Francis removed from office? None!

VATICAN: Calls for resignation as Under-Secretary of State attempts to restore Pedophile Priest to ministry

Editor’s Note: No single event in the “pontificate” of Pope Francis demonstrates the truth that he was voted in to protect pedophiles and their handlers, as this one. No single event shows also, that the problem is not just in Rome, it is an international conspiracy of sexual perverts who are occupying the highest seats of power in the Church. No single event shows, also, how much Pope Francis’ pretense to reform is a two-faced theatrical trick, and that those  closest to him understand his ‘pontificate’ in this same sense. Now Pope Francis is caught in a double-jeopardy, because either he has to keep the pretense up and sack his undersecretary of state, or he has to leave on the table an incontrovertible proof that he considers himself so liberated, that he is not required today to mean the same thing as he said yesterday.

Mark Felton confirms OMC Radio TV’s exposé on the Bank of International Settlements

Editor’s Note: This is an explosive report from Mark Felton, which, when added to the fact that John Paul II was recruited by the CIA and made the CIA founder, Dulles, own nephew a Cardinal, shows who is really running the Vatican — and it’s not those loyal to Jesus Christ.

In fact, when you trace the sources of the money, it now makes total sense why John Paul II made the founder of the St. Gallen Mafia a Cardinal and promoted their members to the episcopate and cardinalate. The story that he made Bergoglio a cardinal for opposing “liberation theology” is thus seen for what it is, a canard, to hide that both men were intimate partners in a Neo-Nazi network of power brokers and bankers, from Himmler to the Italian Freemason Gelli, who founded the P2 Lodge and who controlled Catholic book publishing in Italy.

New Cardinals seem chosen for one sole criterion, being pro-sodomy

Editor’s  Note: If you are not using Chrome, which has an internal translator, you can read the above article in English through a google translation, here.

However, this article contains one big lie, namely, that Pope Francis is in good health. The reality is that in the past years, he has had multiple serious problems with his bowls, lungs and infections. The Vatican has often cancelled events and talks, because his health has been bad, and has issued communique’s stating that out of caution the Pope has omitted this or that event, talk or visit. All this concurs with the judgement of Judge Napolitano, who visited him in person in the spring, who said that he is bloated and near death. And the Vatican knows this because they are trying to take as much caution needed by someone whose health is so bad even a common cold is dangerous. This also seems to be the self-knowledge of Pope Francis, since now in 2024 he is again appointing a new round of Cardinals, a thing which is usually not done yearly.

Finally, there is no longer any reasonable grounds to suppose that his heretical man is anything less than a pertinacious apostate and enemy of the Church, not only because he has appointed Cardinals 10 times in the past 11 years, who share his views, but because he is appointing men who agree with him publicly in his heresy. It is scarcely possible, therefore, that the Catholic Faithful regard the College of Cardinals any longer as a trustworthy institution to chose the next successor of St. Peter — I speak here of the individual consciences of men, not of canonical facts — for now the Scandal is public, manifest and undoubted, and no one can reasonably deny it, not even the Rothschild Propaganda outlets like Reuters, as they attempt, here.

Friar Isaac Mary starts online Apostolate

Editor’s Note: Father Isaac is one of Br. Bugnolo’s franciscan confrers, who is a Catholic Priest. You can find a great deal of spiritual wisdom and clear teaching about the Catholic Faith on his new blog. Please pay him a visit, as he is a cancelled priest, who has been persecuted for more than 20 years.

Fr. David Nix: Pope Benedict XVI was the pope until the day of his death

Editor’s Note: Now 22 months after the death of the Holy Father, Fr. David Nix openly declares for Pope Benedict. I will openly admit I do not like Johny-come-latelies (American metaphor for those who espouse a cause after a crisis is over) because honesty requires that we defend the truth in its day, not afterwards. Many who said Pope Benedict XVI was the pope during his life, said this because they did not actually want Pope Francis. But after Pope Benedict XVI is dead, they declare he was the pope, so that they can establish a basis for continuing to ignore Francis and do nothing canonical about it, such as many do, who have or are now embracing sedevacantism. Where have all the men gone in the Church, who want controversied ended in Councils and before the proper ecclesiastical tribunals? Why are so many clergy satisfied with acting like effetes who simply talk about problems and do nothing?
