In normal times, we Catholics simply pray and, when we can, make a donation of some money or things to a good cause.
But in extraordinary times, that is not enough.
Normal times are like this: when you have a problem with the sewage main on the street where you live. You go to town hall and complain, perhaps even in the company of several neighbors. A thing you can do from your home and with little inconvenience, compared to the size of the problem, which otherwise would make all your homes not habitable.
Extraordinary times are like this: when there is someone building a rocket launcher to send an intercontinental missile to destroy your entire nation, which has no government willing to do anything about it, not even acquire missile defense.
We are in extraordinary times.
We are in extraordinary times, because the College of Cardinals have installed a rabid Bergoglian heretic in the Vatican and are demanding that we accept him as the Roman Pontiff.
This might not seem like the same case. And that is true. Because a heretic pretending to be the Roman Pontiff can lead 1.4 billion souls to damnation, even if we only count the number of Catholics in the world.
We are in extraordinary times.
We are in extraordinary times, because the only way to stop this weapon of mass destruction is to urge the Catholics of Rome to elect a Catholic pope. They are the only ones who can do this. But we are the only ones who can give witness to the truth of the threats.
And I am very glad that 40 of my 800 readers have already helped with starting the fundraising needed for organizing the event and using passive publicity like TV, Radio, Newspapers. While we are far, far from the goal so far, we are on the way. Readers sharing the “Project Save Rome” and related articles have already increased by 5 fold the number of Catholics who are reading these articles.
But since we are in extraordinary times, we cannot omit the most necessary testimony. Namely, that hundreds of Catholics come to Rome and speak with all the clergy, one-to-one, face-to-face, explaining the gravity of the situation.
This is especially true, because in Italian Culture, no one resists injustice or evil unless they have a crowd urging them on and backing them up.
I am glad that there is at least 1 volunteer, so far, willing to come to Rome. He is making extraordinary efforts to do so, even though about 99% of my readers are probably better off financially than he is.
But I need 99 more of him!
There are 550 Catholic Churches in the Diocese of Rome, alone. There are over 8000 clergy and religious of the Church alone. Publicity can reach the fringes of interest. But personal testimony is extremely powerful.
And the Catholics of Rome expect this: because they are all very concerned about having an American “pope”. If Catholics from around the world come to their parishes and ask to speak with them to explain why having a heretical pope is even more dangerous, and how both realities are connected, then they will be willing to exercise their voice to change things.
At FromRome.info my readers put a lot of confidence in me, and I thank them for it. But as one Franciscan hermit, I cannot personally speak with 8000 persons on a one to one basis.
It is for that reason, I ask those of you who can, to give serious thought to going on Mission this summer, by coming to Rome, and spending your time speaking with 4-5 clergy each week, about these issues. If you have a cellphone and the Google Translation app, you can converse with an Italian very easily, as Italians are very patient with pilgrims and tourists. Even if after explaining why you want to speak with them, and they refuse, you have sown a seed that will bear fruit in the future.
If I get volunteers, I will be printing up a flyer or booklet explaining in Italian the entire controversy and the canonical explanation. Those volunteers who come to Rome will be able to pick these up in quantity for free and use them when they speak to Clergy and Religious and Laity.
We are in extraordinary times. No generation of Laity have ever had the need to do what we need to do. No generation of Laity have had access to the facts and laws of the Church with such clarity as we do today. No generation of Laity have had the means to come to Rome to do something even holier than making a pilgrimage: to go on Mission to save the entire Church from the monstrosity of a fake pope, leading souls to damnation.
I ask each of you to pray about this, seriously. We must stop the apocalypse from breaking out. And it does not require miracles. It requires only Faith-filled action of a hundred or a few hundred.

The Holy Spirit never leaves us orphans. He will assist us, the Church and I suspect where sin abounds Grace abounds all the more! I pray God raises Holy Courageous men like St Francis to rebuild His Church and stump the enemy. This could be the time of the greatest period of Many Saints, a time that the Saints of old wished they could be apart of. Like AJ always say, ‘And we will defend Our Holy Mother, the Church! Deus Vult!
