Editor’s Note: Most “Catholic” news outlets have concealed the declaration of Cardinal Prevost that he will “reform” priestly formation, to emphasize “God is with us” rather than “Theology from above”. What does this mean? It means at least gutting the vernacular mass of any traditional vestiges, such as kneeling, and nearly complete suppression of the ancient Latin Mass.

Writers like Chris Jackson who decried the wait and see approach two weeks ago, then flipped to the “recognize and resist” model. But as you can see from the above, what that really means is, “Lament and surrender; whine, and grift”.

This is why we Catholics will never have religious liberty if we allow the Cardinals to impose a heretic as the Roman Pontiff. Because now it is clear why they hate the Bull of Saint Pius V, “Missale Romanum”, because that same pope confirmed Pope Paul IV’s Bull, “Cum ex apostolatus officio”, which declares null, void, and irritus, the election of any man to the Papacy, who is found to have espoused heresy before his election. — He not only  is on record for embracing all the heresies of Pope Francis, but with this report, as per above, he is on record for conspiring to destroy the Mass a month before his “selection”.

In all traditional manuals of theology, the desire to destroy the Catholic Mass is classified as “heretical” and “schismatic”.  How much more abuse do Catholics need to recognize that this man is not even a Catholic, nor the Pope. Indeed, it would be tantamount to blasphemy to claim that the Lord Jesus would give him the Petrine Munus.

Editor’s Note: Prevost’s older brother said that Leo XIV will be a Pope Francis 2.0. — Connect the dots, folks!

Editor’s Note: Considering what Cardinal Prevost said back in 2015, he must certainly be numbered among the “false prophets” seeking to take over the Catholic Church, named by Cardinal Mueller back in 2023, since as Leo XIV he has declared that he will push Synodality in the Church to achieve Pope Francis’ Globalist agendas.

During this interview, Br. Bugnolo mentioned the U.S. Department of Defense’s, Secret Ideological-Warfare Program against the Catholic Church, declared on June 29, 1953, and declassified December 31, 2013, 60 Years and 6 Months later, which you can download from here.

This video is an introduction and explanation for all the Catholics outside of Rome about how they can help save the Church from the Heretical Bergoglians, who are backed by the Deep State and who aim to destroy the Holy Catholic Church and transform her into a One World Religion. — For the readers of FromRome.Info most of this information you have already read about or heard, but this is a good video to introduce the discussion to your friends, who have not yet heard of this.

Editor’s Note: Mike’s argument is that Br. Bugnolo is scrupulous and ignorant. But Mike is also sneaky because he did not quote my more detailed exposition, but only cherry picked my first video on JPII’s law.  Then, since it is obvious that he cannot read Latin, since he quotes only English texts, he launches into interpreting canon law though he has just said Bugnolo is doing that without any expertise and therefore should not be listened to.

His basic argument is nothing more than calling Bugnolo ignorant, and appealing to the opinion of the Cardinals, without analyzing it.

I suggest grabbing a bag of popcorn before turning the above video on. All my readers can probably refute Lofton in 30 seconds, especially since he promised a refutation but only gave an ad hominem.

And yes I have challenged him to a debate on this, but I do not think he is up to it, since,  he quotes Cardinal Journet against a papal law which he never saw or read or lived to know about, not to mention Journet had no degree in Canon Law, so I do not understand why he quotes him, since his argument is that since Bugnolo has no degree in canon law you should not listen to him.

All of which, makes me think that perhaps Mike does not understand how to refute an argument. But I will give him the chance, if he wants to. However, there can be no editing of the video, and we both have the right to publish it in full or not publish it, but cede the right to one another to not ever contest the publication.

Back in the debate about Pope Benedict XVI’s declaration, we have seen the argument, based on accusing the speaker of ignorance, and omitting any and all explanation which would demonstrate from authoritative texts that the speaker’s argument is invalid. Here at FromRome.info I never employ such an approach because Aristotle says, that when you open with insults, it means you have no reasons to support your position.

I have been called an idiot in the Italian Bishops’ Conference official weekly newspaper, L’Avvenire, for finding 40+ errors in the Latin of the Declaratio. But two years later Archbishop Ganswein admitted there were errors. So I have some confidence that history will out the truth, even if those who were in error or in denial, like the entire College of Cardinals back then, might never admit it in public in their lifetimes.

Mike’s argument, if we can extract the strongest parts of it, is an appeal to power, in the tyrannical sense of the term, because he says the Cardinals say so, therefore, we must accept that as no one has the right to question it. Thus he seems to hold that if all the Cardinals were in agreement to violate the Papal Law on Conclaves, the Church would have to accept it! — And this actually shows that my own arguments are valid, because if you have stoop to such a low argument, as Mike has done, you are prepared to make a Mockery of the entire Catholic Religion and the Church, to boast on YouTube that someone is wrong. And that is very counter productive, if your channel is called, ‘Reason and Theology’;  you would do better renaming your channel, “Machiavelli’s appeal to Power”.

I have left some comments on YouTube on Mike’s video. If you find them cogent, please like them.

I wish to thank Lofton for having the manliness to admit the argument exists and for at least throwing me the crumb of identifying me as a Franciscan. I will repay the compliment by recognizing that Lofton is a layman who has a personality which probably mixes very well at cocktail parties.

Cardinals have no authority to obtain dispensations from Papal Laws by  their own interpretations of the actions of a dead Roman Pontiff

Finally, one thing becomes more clear from this argumentation of Mike Lofton, namely, that the Cardinals are implicitly claiming the right to interpret the actions of Pope Francis so as to obtain a dispensation from the norm of n. 33 in the Papal Law on Conclaves.

But though Canon 85 admits that every superior can grant a dispensation, but only superiors, no where in the Code of Canon Law of 1983, is there any allowance for a subject to claim a dispensation from a superior merely by interpreting the actions of his superior, especially because canon 86 declares that dispensations cannot be issued against those parts of a law which are essentially constitutive to the legislative dispositions, which the rule on 120 Cardinals appears to be in n. 33 of UDG.

Wherefore, canon 16 § 1, restricts the power of interpreting the law to the legislator of the law, or to the one to whom it has been granted. But in n. 5 of the Papal Law on Conclaves, no authority to interpret papal actions is granted: rather only the right to interpret doubtful or controverted passages of UDG, an authority which the Cardinals never even claimed to use in their press release of April 20, 2025.

All this should be obvious to everyone, even if they have no training in law. Because if a subject can after the death of his superior make a claim that some action of the superior was equivalent to granting a dispensation, all hell would break out in the legal system that adopted such a principle. In fact, the very notion runs counter to canon 335, which forbids to all persons, the authority to change the laws of the Church during a sede vacante. The universality of that negative provision in 335 extends to all claimed privileges, dispensations and legal acts whose existence is alleged, without any written documentation.

Editor’s Note: When grifters flip to keep grifting, it is not surprising. But when one of the few priests who just a week ago lambasted them for this, does the same thing, it is disgusting.  Here, Father Nix who railed at so many for selling the Faith for a bowl of porridge, now publishes an article by Mike the Navy Seal, on how to ignore the big picture is the way to get ahead. Mike says that during shock you will cling to the worst possible interpretations. What he is saying, in effect, is ignore your lying eyes, ignore anything that shocks you about Cardinal Prevost, and let him go ahead and destroy the Church. Oh, and ignore anyone who says anything extreme about him.

What a psyop!

I am so disappointed with Father Nix, I thought for a week at least, he was a man of faith. Evidently, the size of the problem is greater than the measure of his moral and intellectual integrity.

Meanwhile, I am continually thankful that Frank Walker of Canon 212 has not fallen for this madness. He repeatedly points out what is visible because he still has eyes to see, such as this photo which Mike the Navy Seal does not want you to look at or draw any conclusions from!

Editor’s Note: In the last two weeks one of the few voices of sanity in the English speaking world has been Chris Jackson. But in his latest essay, he seems to have decided to make his last stand on the sinking ship of “Recognize and Resist”, a failed strategy which for 60 years has achieved nothing.

Commentators, at least one, on his Substack page pointed out that the only way to fight this is to use our rights to contest Prevost’s election which is invalidated by two papal laws. But it seems that Chris has ignored the counsel and called, instead, for 1000 Archbishop Lefebrves to rise up, even though it is a historical fact that the Archbishop’s father was a MI6 agent in WWI an WWII and that he himself was consecrated a priest and bishop by known Freemasons. Not to mention that there are barely a handful of Bishops who have even squeaked in disapproval since the termination of the Conclave.

Editor’s Note: If you want to verify any doubt you might have that the Cardinals violated the Papal Law on Conclaves by misreading the Latin text, you can now do so with a Vatican postage stamp, the publication of which obviously was done with the approval of Cardinal Prevost and all his advisors.

This is because the Stamp bears the Ablative form of Leo, instead of the Nominative. It also gets the punctuation wrong. It should read:

Leo P.P. XIV

“Leone” is not only the Latin ablative of the name, “Leo”, but it is also the Italian form of the name, since the time of the Lombard invasions of Italy. “Leone” is also the form used when the Mass is said in Latin, since the phrase in which the name of the Roman Pontiff is supposed to be named is in the Ablative. “P.P.” is the Latin abbreviation for “Pastor Pastorum”, “Shepherd of Shepherds”. So the name is in Italian, but the abbreviation in Latin, or the name is in the wrong case: there is no other alternative.

Ignorance of Latin reigns supreme in the Vatican, evidently.

On the side of the stamp is written: “Anno I S. P. MMXXV” in Latin, “Anno primo Sui Pontifcatus 2025” or “In the first year of His Pontificate.” This is also in error, since “suus, -a, -um” is only to be used in sentences referring to a prior subject. The correct form for “of His” in this context is, “Eius”, and should be abbreviated “E.” not “S.”.

Why they chose Latin there, but put “Città del Vaticano” below is not readily apparent. Perhaps because most of the Vatican Stamps on postage leaving the Vatican go through the Italian Post Office, they chose Italian for the name of the Sovereign State. And maybe you could argue that the name of the Pope is in Italian, not Latin, for the same reason. But the rest is in Latin and Roman Numerals. Which is inconsistent. — The comma is used in the valuation, because in Europe the comma is used where in the United States the period is used as a decimal point.

Editor’s Note: Nearly 9 years ago, I warned the Faithful, that toleration would lead to apostasy. — And recently we have seen this warning verified, when after the Conclave in which a Francis 2.0 was “selected”, the Traditionalists, both in North America and Europe, have all folded and accepted the heir of the Bergoglian revolution. — Their only disagreement is literally over rubrics.

Accepting a traditionalist niche in a Church of the Antichrist, does not make you a Catholic, nor is it an achievement worthy of a man.

We all now have a most grave obligation, the second time around

That is why the only real solution is what the Catholics are organizing to do at Rome. But it will only succeed if we can find someone who is willing to fight for Christ in this apocalyptic battle against deceit. We need a Catholic Pope who will totally reject the satanic magisterium of Pope Francis; not a heretic who blasphemes nearly every other day, saying, “Pope Francis is in heaven”, because such a statement is in fact simply a declaration of TOTAL WAR against the Catholic Faith and TOTAL COMMITMENT to Bergoglio’s revolution.

Back on January 30, 2023, we had the chance to do the same thing, but even though many helped me with the expenses, no one at all promoted a Candidate. This shocked me to the core, and made me wonder if there are any sincere Catholics out there. Hundreds of thousands knew I was organizing an Assembly of Apostolic Rite, but no one did anything to find a candidate. No one visited Vigano, Lenga, Strickland, Gracida, Aguer, etc.. No one asked them. I still cannot understand why. But I am blamed for their doing nothing. Incredible!

So this time, I am going to put the responsibility on all of you who are reading this. If no candidates show, don’t you dare blame me for it! I have enough to do organizing the assembly and signing all the contracts etc.. I am not omnipresent. I cannot do everything. And I am not doing this for your entertainment!

As for anyone who agrees to be a candidate, I would ask that you visit them in person, interview them and do a 10 minute video, which I can share with those who come to the Assembly. Also send me a translation of the video, in txt format, so I can have it translated into Italian.

Editor’s Note: Folks! I keep telling you that Prevost thinks we are all livestock and to be treated as livestock. Maybe this “appointment” will help you understand that?

Here is another report about the same appointment (see below). A man who is supposed to be celibate but says such things, is obviously neither Catholic nor celibate, because he has no understanding of how easy it is for a man to follow the laws of God nor how wrong it is to think “life” is about “sex”.
