What is Project “Save Rome”?

Project “Save Rome” is the name of the effort to assist the Catholics of the Roman Rite, at Rome, Italy, use their Apostolic Right, given to them by the Apostle Saint Peter, to elect a Catholic Pope, seeing that the College of Cardinals elected a public manifest and pertinacious heretic, Robert Francis Provost, who by accepting ‘Fiducia supplicans’ and ‘Amoris laetitia’, and opposing the use of capital punishment, rejects (1) the teaching of Saint Paul on capital punishment, (2) the teaching of Jesus Christ on the Priesthood, (3), the Second Commandment as a moral norm for sacramental discipline, (4) the 6th commandment as a moral norm for sacramental discipline, and (5) the teaching of the Apostles that the Sacraments of the living must be refused to public impenitent sinners.

What is the legal justification for an Election by Apostolic Right?

When an institution (Cardinals in a conclave) fails completely to fulfill its ministerial duty (Canon 349) of providing for the selection of a Catholic as Roman Pontiff, the ancient right of original electorate (the Faithful of the Church at Rome) revives, by reason of the default, according to the teaching of Pope Nicholas II, to prevent the Church founded by God from being taken over by a Heretically Depraved invalid candidate, leading souls to destruction, by which the Gates of Hell would prevail (See more about this, in the video on “The error of juridical positivism“). Since this apostolic right is part of the Deposit of the Faith, it is ever capable of reviving when the institution, entrusted with the ordinary duty, betrays the very intention of the Roman Pontiffs to provide for a Catholic pope; for otherwise, the Church Herself would cease to exist as a juridically valid entity without recourse to action by the original electorate.

How is the Election of Prevost invalid?

The election of Robert Cardinal Prevost is invalid for two reasons:

1. Since Prevost is a public manifest heretic, the election of which as Roman Pontiff, is declared null, void, and irritus by Pope Paul IV, in his bull of February 15, 1559, “Cum ex apostolatus officio“, n. 6, which foreseeing such a tragedy, deals precisely with this situation.
2. Since the Cardinals Electors directly violated the formal command in n. 33 of the Papal Law on Conclaves, “Universi Dominic Gregis“, of February 22, 1996, which limits to 120 the maximum number of Cardinal Electors who are allowed to vote, which according to canon 335 and n. 5 of the same law, they have no right to violate; on which account, by allowing 133 to vote, they violated n. 68 in the very act of the election, and thus the election was declared null and void and conferred no right upon Prevost, as per the censure in n. 76 of the same law. — The Cardinals attempted to justify their action by claiming that Pope Francis gave them a dispensation, in that he created more than 120 Cardinal electors: a claim which is nullified by UDG n. 4, which forbids all dispensations of any part of the Law on Conclaves, even if it were granted on the basis of a written documented before his death; or if they were granted, again by a written document the power to interpret this rule as optional, so as not to violate canon 335 (which forbids any innovation of rights during a sedevacante), which document they do not even claim to have! Thus their claim is null and voided not only by n. 4, but by the 2nd paragraph of the Promulgation, in the same papal law, not to mention being a claim contrary to canon 16 § 1 and counter to canon 86, which forbids dispensations from  essential legislative dispositions, such as is the rule of 120.

In what does an Election by Apostolic Right consist?

The Faithful of the Church of Rome, that is, the 3.5 Million Catholics resident at Rome, that is Clergy, Religious and Laity of the Dioceses of Rome, and the suburbican dioceses, of Palestrina, Frascati, Segni-Velletri, Albano, Ostia, Porto-Santa Rufina, Sabina-Poggio Mirteto, need to come together in one physical place and chose a baptized Catholic man, who is both celibate and professes the whole and perfect Catholic Faith. The election can be by acclamation or majority vote, verbally expressed. This right, when the Cardinals fail to conduct a valid election and chose a catholic, revives, as Pope Nicholas II magisterially taught in the Bull, “In Nomine Domini”, n. 3.

Practical Necessities

On account of the laws of the Italian Republic and the administration regulations of the City of Rome, Italy, the Catholics need to provide at their own expense for the necessary publicity and equipment to allow for a crowd of 25,000 or more meet safely in the same place: such as security, ambulances, chairs, stage, sound system, specialized locations for care of those suffering from exposure or medical conditions, and access to transportation and sufficient crowd-control barriers etc.. The chief expense of which is publicity to make sure all the 3.5 Million Catholics who have the right to attend know of the event. — Br. Bugnolo, the editor of FromRome.info, and President of Ordo Militaris Inc., is volunteering his services at $0.00 cost, for organizing this project.

Goal

Project “Save Rome”, therefore, aims to seek the assistance of true Catholics all over the world, to raise the funds to gather sufficient numbers of Catholics to this Assembly, so that in the sight of all Catholics in the world, they can clearly see this as an action of the whole Church at Rome. For this reason, calculating the costs of TV, Newspaper, Radio, and Social Media advertising, but the event costs, we are seeking to raise the equivalent of $250,000 US Dollars.

HOW TO HELP

As of June 1, 2025, we have raised already about $10,000 USD, so there is a long way to go. And since we cannot schedule the event until we have the funds to pay for it, we need to raise these funds as soon as possible.
