Editor’s Note: As long time readers of FromRome.Info may remember, I used to occasionally make reference to the errors published at NovusOrdoWatch.org one of the most popular and vitrolic Sedevacantist websites, which constantly insists Catholics should obey Pope Francis and shut up. — As AJ Baalman and myself have often discussed in our talks over at OrdoMilitaris.Net one of the abiding characteristics of all the “Catholic” influencers who insisted Pope Benedict XVI validly resigned or who insist that you should obey Pope Francis are converts or reverts to the faith. Click the image above to read the short biography of Mario Derksen, which shows how he never was grounded well in the Catholic Faith and began preaching before learning. He became a U.S. citizen in 2001.  — He shares the same birthday as Pope Benedict XVI, April 16. Now that must have irked him!

FromRome.info occasionally publishes information about popular Catholic websites to keep the Catholic public informed about who is behind the websites which are frequently quoted in the English speaking Catholic world online.

UPDATE from July, 23, 2025: In response to the above article, Mario Derkson tweeted out the same day, a link to this Podcast about his biography, which confirms all of the above. In fact, he says he was “never very religious” until he read a Protestant Tract. — You cannot make this up. He even admits that he accepted the heresies of the Protestants he read and rejected various Catholic dogmas and calls this phase when he “discovered religion”. Even in 2022, when he made this video, he is found to speak in a way Catholics never speak, when he says, “I decided to join a seminary”.  — Having actually been in canonical formation programs in the U.S.A. and Europe, I can assure you, no Catholic Seminarian in any language says, “join a Seminary”. — This makes me doubt his claim to have been in any seminary. — Finally, overall it appears that Mario who was not always a Catholic, considers himself inspired directly by God, because he often says, “I always knew”, “I always believed”.
