Vatican.Va hides the Papal Law on the Election of the Pope

4 Comments

It is bad enough that if you use the Vatican.va search engine in an attempt to find the Papal Law for the election of a Roman Pontiff, Universi Dominici Gregis, that it does not return it in any version or language in the first page of results. 

But if you use Google.com, which gives you it as the top result, you find yourself on a page in Italian, where, if you chose the drop down menu to see the Law in Latin, you are sent to this page:

After which, you have to chose, “Summi Pontifices”, Ioannis Pauli PP. II, Constitutiones Apostolicae, and then you find its name, “Universi Dominici Gregis”, and only then do you find the LATIN text, which is the only legally binding text.

Now, WHY do you think that after Cardinal Prevost’s illegal and unlawful and invalid election, would the Vatican website try to hide the official Latin text of the papal law on how a Pope is to be elected?

Yea, these criminals and frauds know they have been caught with their hand in the cookie jar and are trying to hide their crime, just as they did in March of 2013, when they published falsified translations of Pope Benedict XVI’s renunciation, to make it look like he abdicated, even though he never did.

Finally, if you think forensically, this new alteration of the Vatican website is a confession that my argument demonstrating that the recent Conclave had no valid juridical result, is not only 100% correct, but entirely irrefutable once you have the Latin text of that law in hand!

Pope Nicholas II’s Bull, “In Nomine Domini” (Papal Version)

17 Comments

Latin Original,
with an English Translation by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

More than 5 years ago I published an English translation of Pope Nicholas II’s bull, In nomine Domini, which he wrote with the counsel of Saints Hildebrand, the future Pope Gregory VII, and Peter Damnian, the future Doctor of the Church against the homo-heresy. — Indeed, in the final paragraph which contains the censures against those who would dare violate this papal law, we can see the influence of the fiery zeal of Saint Hildebrand, where it combines a variety of curses found in the Psalms, against both clerics and laymen.

Recently with the help of a medieval scholar who has spent his life studying this Bull, I have come in the possession of a copy of this bull in its original version (see below). My previous translation was based on a copy of the Bull, in Latin, from a version which had been interpolated — that is, compiled by several existing versions, by a Scholar who attempted to interpret which precise wording was the original. While such a practice is widely accepted in the world of academics, it is always a very good thing to go back to the actual existing manuscripts and read them. The Latin text from the version published by the Church at Rome is that which I now publish, here below. — This papal version differs in nearly nothing from the interpolated version which I previously published and translated, but in the choice of words in a few passages, and in a few extra sentences at the end. — However, the paragraphs in the papal version are not numbered, so I have inserted numbers and joined some paragraphs together so that paragraph n. 3 in both versions regards what is to be done if a legitimate, honest and upright election cannot be held in the City of Rome.

This Bull of Pope Nicholas II is no obscure document, since it is the first Papal Bull which restricted the election of the Roman Pontiff to the Cardinals, two centuries before the first Conclave was ever held. It is even mentioned by name in the Apostolic Constitution of Pope Paul VI, Romano Pontifici eligendo, promulgated October 1, 1975, in its third paragraph, where it is called a “celebrated” constitution, that is, frequently used. It’s importance for today is that it explains, what other Papal Laws currently in force today do not, namely, “What is to be done if all the Cardinals forfeit their right and competence to elect the Roman Pontiff by reason of grave malfeasance, in conducting an illegal election or one which is declared invalid by papal prescriptions?”  It is implicitly referred to also in the current Papal Law of Pope John Paul II, Universi Dominici Gregis, promulgated Feb. 22, 1996, where it says in its preface, that “the institution of the Conclave is not necessary for the valid election of the Roman Pontiff”, and again, wherein in n. 76 it declares any election violating its norms null and void, without however expressing what is to be done if the Cardinals fail to return into conclave because they maliciously will to hold as pope a man who is illegally elected.

Now follows my English translation of that.

Pope Nicholas II’s Bull “In nomine Domini”

April 13, 1059 A. D. — In the Constantinian Patriarchal Basilica of the Lateran, at Rome

Translated from the Papal Version of the text, published by Das Papstwahldekret von 1059. Echte Fassung, in: Jasper, Detlef. Das Pastwahldekret von 1059: Überlieferung unf Textgestalt. Sigmaringen: Thorbecke, 1986, pp. 98-109.

IN THE NAME OF THE LORD God, our Savior Jesus Christ.  From the year of His Incarnation, 1058, in the month of April, in the Twelfth Indiction, with the Sacrosanct Gospels laid open, also with the Most Reverend and Blessed Nicholas, presiding as the Apostolic Pope, in the Lateran Basilica of the Patriarch, which is named the Constantinian, also with the most reverend Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots or venerable Priests and Deacons accompanying, seated, the Same venerable Pontiff, decreeing with Apostolic Authority, concerning the Election of the Highest Pontiff, said:

Most beloved Brothers and co-Bishops, and also inferior members (of the clergy), your Beatitude knows and it does not lie hidden, that with the passing of Our predecessor, the lord Stephen, of pious memory, how many adverse (troubles) this Apostolic See, which I zealously serve with God’s urging, has suffered through, and then how many repeated hammers and frequent blows She has been subjected to through the brokers of simonaical heresy, so much that the Column of the Living God almost seemed to totter and the net of the Highest Fisherman, with the storms swelling, would be driven into the depths of shipwreck to be submerged.

§ 1. Wherefore, if it please thy Brotherhood, We ought, with God assisting, take care prudently for future cases and this by Ecclesiastical statute, provide in the hereafter that (these) evils, revived, not prevail.  On which account, having been instructed by Our predecessor and by the authority of the other Holy Fathers, We decree, and establish, that with the passing of the Pontiff of this universal Roman Church, first of all, the Cardinal Bishops, treating (the election) together with the most diligent consideration, summon immediately the Cardinal Clerics to themselves; and in this manner let the rest of the Clergy, and the People, approach to consent to the new election, so that, lest the deadly disease of venality insinuate itself by occasion, the most religious men be the chief leaders in the election of the Pontiff to be promoted, but the rest be their followers.

§ 2. And certainly the right and legitimate order of the election is here considered carefully, if it be gathered from having examined the diverse rules of the Fathers or their deeds, (and) even that sentence of Blessed Leo, (Our) predecessor, (who) said: “No reason permits, that there be had among Bishops, those who have neither been elected from the Clerics, nor requested by the common people, nor consecrated by the co-provincial Bishops with the judgement of the Metropolitans” (Pope Leo I, Letter to Rusticus of Narbonne, Migne PL 54, p. 1203 A/B). But because the Apostolic See takes precedence to all other Churches throughout the earth, and for that reason, too, She can have over Her no Metropolitan, the Cardinal Bishops with out doubt serve instead as Metropolitans, who namely promote the one elected as High Priest (antistitem) to the apex of the Apostolic Summit.  Moreover, let them elect (him) from the very womb of the Church, if one is found suitable, and/or if he not be found in Her, let him be taken from another; with due honor being served, and reverence for Our beloved son, Henry, who is held as King at the present and with God conceding hoped (to be) the future Emperor, as We have already conceded to him and to his successors, who personally begged this right from this Apostolic See.

§ 3. Wherefore, if the perversity of depraved and iniquitous men, so prevail, that a pure, sincere and free election cannot be held in the City, let the Cardinal Bishops with the religious Clerics, and the Catholic laity, though few, obtain the right of power (ius potestatis) to elect the Pontiff of the Apostolic See, where they might judge it to be more fitting. Plainly, after the election has been completed, if there be a bellicose conflict, and/or if the struggle of any kind of men resists by the earnestness of wickedness, such that he, who has been elected, cannot prevail to be enthroned in the Apostolic See according to the custom, nevertheless, let the elect obtain as Pope the authority to rule the Roman Church and to dispose of all Her faculties, which Blessed Gregory, We know, did, before his own consecration.

§4. On which account, if anyone has been elected, or even ordained, or enthroned, against this Decree of Ours promulgated by Synodal sentence, whether through sedition, and/or presumption, or any guile, let him be cast down by the Divine Authority and that of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, by a perpetual anathema with his promoters and supporters and followers as one separated from the thresholds of the Holy Church, just as the Anti-Christ, both invader and destroyer of the whole of Christendom, and let no audience be given him over this, but let him be deposed from every ecclesiastical grade unto whatever was before his, without any objection made, to whom if anyone whatsoever adheres, and/or exhibits any kind of reverence as to the Pontiff, or presumes to defend him in anything, let him be abandoned by equal sentence, which if anyone shows himself to be a violator of this sentence of Our Holy Decree, and has tried to confound the Roman Church by his presumption, and to raise disturbance against this Statute, let him be damned by perpetual anathema and excommunication, and let him be reputed among “the impious“, who “shall not rise again in judgement” (Psalm 1:5), let him know the wrath of the Omnipotent One against him, and that of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, whose Church he has presumed to fool, let him know a ravaging madness in this life and in the future; “Let his dwelling become deserted, and let there be no one who dwells in his tents” (cf. Psalm 69:26): “Let his sons be orphans, and his wife a widow” (Psalm 108:9), “Let him be shaken completely” (cf. Psalm 108:10) to madness, and “may his sons go about begging, and be cast out of their dwellings” (Psalm 108:10). “May the money-lender ravage all his substance, and may the foreigner lay waste all his labors” (Psalm 108:11); “Let the whole world fight against” (cf. Wisdom 5:21) him, and let all the other elements be against him, and may the merits of all the Saints, at rest, confound him and in this life may they show open vengeance upon him.

§5. Moreover, may the grace of the Omnipotent God protect the observers of this Our decree, and by the authority of the Blessed Apostles, Peter and Paul may it absolve them from all bonds of sins.

I, Nicholas, Bishop of the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Roman Church,
have signed this Decree promulgated by Us, here above, as it reads.

VATICAN Agency attempted forging of SWIFT Records in 2016

Editor’s Note: This revelation makes it now clear why Cardinal Pell was framed in Australia, in an operation where the highest authorities in the State conspired to prevert justice at the request of friends of the Vatican. We can deduce, without much speculation, that the attempt to conceal financial transfers in 2016 has to do with some intelligence agency which is also served by the Deep State in Australia.

Our Lady of Uliano, Cardinal Mimmi & the liberation of the Church

4 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

There are a lot of things which you can only know by visiting Rome. The Churches, the catecombs, the streets, the archeological monuments, the libraries and museums and universities. Visiting Rome in person you get only a taste or sniff of the tremendous history of the Eternal City. But when you live here you come to know the context of everything alongside everything.

And some of it is amazing, but of most of it others have written about.

But here is a story which evokes the imagination and the hope of Catholics and shows us how important everything honest and upright Catholics do has an effect for the good which is beyond our every imagining.

This story begins in an elevator going down, on the morning of April 21, 2025, at Casa Santa Marta, at the Vatican. We all know what that refers to and of whom we are speaking.

But what no one but a few know is why all of that was perhaps a lot more amazing than you have heretofore imagined.

Being at Rome, I found myself right smack in the middle of the mystery of that day. Because, I heard of the death of Pope Francis not from the internet, not from the phone, not from the newspapers, but from a Catholic priest, preparing to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady in a tiny little shrine tucked away in the countryside outside of Rome.

The Wondrous Apparition and Miracle of Our Lady of Uliano

Our Lady of Ulilano is the name given to the Blessed Virgin Mary who appeared in A. D. 1242 to a woman, mother and wife in the most desperate of situations. You see, the woman and her husband had the joy to have a newborn son, and scheduled a large party to celebrate his baptism. But so many where the guests, because her husband was a wealthy landed man, that to attend to them, she had to place the baby in its crib, which was made with wood and had a cover to keep the baby warm and night while allowing air to enter through many holes.

Without the knowledge of the Mother, the guests however, used the covered crib as to pile their cloaks on top. And when it came time for the baptism, the Mother was horrified to find, that the immense mound of clothing had caused her child to suffocate to death.

This caused the entire celebration of joy to turn into a horrible moment of grief. The husband, Mr. Uliano, drove the guests out and then turned on his wife in a demonic rage, reproving her and then drawing his knife.

In a frenzy, the husband proceeded to cut off her hands and cut out her womb. As she was bleeding to death, he ordered a servant to carry her body to the countryside and dump it in a ravine, along with her baby boy, hanging from her neck.

After the servant had accomplished the deed, the woman still with the faintest signs of life called upon the Blessed Mother.

And in that moment of travesty and hopelessness, Our Lady appeared to her, holding the Child Jesus, and miraculously cured her, restoring her hands and womb and raising the baby boy back to life.

Such was the amazement of Mr. Uliano, upon seeing his wife return home alive and whole, with a living baby boy, that he immediately broke down in tears and begged her pardon and the forgiveness of God. Before everyone in the region, he confessed his sin publicly and with his wife and servant publicly testified for the rest of their lives to this wondrous intercession of Our Lady. Mr. Uliano also had a chapel built on the site.

To this day, in those hills outside of Rome, the Feast of Our Lady of Uliano is celebrated every year on the Monday after Easter. And since I had prior knowledge of this miracle I made it a point to be at the new Shrine, built on the hill opposite, on Easter Monday.

Thus it was, that on Monday, April 21, 2025, I heard of the liberation of the Church at the Shrine of Our Lady of Uliano, from the local pastor, who when he arrived immediately said to everyone, “Pope Francis is dead.”

Cardinal Mimmi

More than 50 years ago, the original shrine to Our Lady fell into total ruin, due to the erosion of the loose soils of that valley. And as the shrine began to decay, the local Bishop ordered that the canons of the Shrine move its most valuable Icon to the local Cathedral and celebrate each year a Mass there in Her honor. This stupendous 15th century Icon is one of the most beautiful of Our Lady, depicting Her being crowned Queen of Angels and Men by God the Father:

This altar is now the Altar of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and in the floor in front of this altar is the final resting place of Cardinal Marcello Mimmi, who passed from this life to his eternal reward on March 6, 1961, just as Vatican II was to be convened.

Evidently Cardinal Mimmi was very devoted to Our Lady of Uliano and to the Most Blessed Sacrament. Near his tomb is also a bronze bust of the Cardinal. He has been “praying” to our Lady of Uliano for all these 64 long years.

A Prayer granted?

Cardinal Mimmi (see bio here in English, here in Italian), as you can see from the PDF below, which on page 6 recounts his Episcopal Ministry at Crema, Italy, before he was promoted to the Archbishopric of Bari, and then to that of Naples, was a man of God who was, according to Prof. Luca Donarini, one who

…  si sente un operaio di Dio mandato nella vigna di Crema per occuparsi degli interessi di Dio e curare la santificazione e la salvezza delle anime, sia di quelle vicine del suo gregge sia di quelle degli «infedeli» attraverso lo spirito missionario; il nuovo vescovo, profondamente convinto che la promozione del culto divino e delle leggi di Dio possano costituire un «freno ai pericoli che senza di esse corre la civiltà»

Which in English is:

considered himself God’s worker send into the vineyard of Crema to busy himself with the affairs of God and promote the sanctification and salvation of souls, not only those who among his flock but also those “infidels” by means of a missionary spirit: the new Bishop, profoundly convinced that the promotion of the Divine Liturgy and the laws of God are able to constitute a “break on the dangers without which civilization itself would run a risk”.

I am the kind of Catholic who sees what is before my eyes. When I visited the Cathedral I saw the tomb of Cardinal Mimmi, and my eyes then looked up to see the Throne Tablernacle of Our Lord, waiting for us in the Most Blessed Sacrament, and raising my eyes further, I saw the icon of God the Father crowning Our Lady, that is giving Her authority over men and angels.

The place of the tomb of the Cardinal, who was made by Pius XII the Prefect of what we call today the Congregation of Bishops, is a sign of the deepest prayers of the heart.

Note Well: The duties of the Congregation of Bishops are to recommend promotions to the Holy Father and to remove bad bishops at his command.

The miracle wrought by Our Lady of Uliano is without a doubt also a sign from God; that Our Lady, just as She hears the cries of even one of Her adopted daughters, dismembered and mutilated, without a doubt will hear the cries of Holy Mother Church, afflicted by so many of Her enemies.

That prayer of Cardinal Mimmi began just as the Second Vatican Counsel was to begin. And that Intercession of Our Lady was wrought on Her feast day this year, when She delivered Holy Mother Church from the monstrosity of godlessness who was cutting off the Hands of the Church to heal sinners and disemboweling Her teachings to save mankind, not to mention killing Her children by suffocating them with error and heresy.

I am a Catholic from birth, and I let my imagination follow my faith to connect the dots. And I thank God for the 64 years of prayer of this Cardinal which has obtained such a great grace for the Church.

Cardinal Mimmi, as you can see from Catholic-Hierarchy.org also has a relationship with a famous Archbishop in our own days, because Mimmi ordained Francesco Colasunno a priest. Colasunno would go on to become a Cardinal, and he was the principal Consecrator of Archbishop Ian Pawel Lenga! — Being a Catholic, I think I now understand the sign Our Lady is giving us in our own day, as to who She has chosen to be the next  …. !

My Advice to the next Pope

10 Comments

By Br. Alexis Bugnolo

The “Save Rome Project“, of which I have often spoken and which the readers of FromRome.Info are generously supporting, will have consequences beyond merely having a Catholic as the Pope in Rome. Indeed, from the moment he accepts his election — if he be a Bishop — he will assume a most heavy burden to save the Church from the most diabolic and satanic war against Her that has ever been launched in the history of the Church, precisely because so many Catholics have been duped into thinking all is well in the last 12 years or in the last 65 years.

So, as I think of these things, I want to list what comes to my mind regarding what I would ask the new Catholic Pope to do as soon as possible, so as to help all Catholics realize the great benefits that will come from having a Pope to restore the Church and free Her from the Masonic web of illusion that has been cast over Her since Vatican II. —  For a comparison with the agenda of many others, read my short article on, “The True Spirit of Trad Inc.“, which I wrote on February 19, 2020, about one month before the lockdowns.

A Monumental Agenda for the new and Catholic Pope

  1. To clarify that the laws of the Church must be observed, since this is the declared and revealed will of Jesus Christ expressed many times, as recorded in the Gospels, and that therefore
    • Pope Benedict XVI was the true pope until death, since he never renounced the petrine munus,
    • That therefore Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s election in March of 2013 had absolutely no canonical effect and he obtained absolutely no right to govern the Church thereby or by any passive or active acquiescence of Bishops or the Faithful
    • That the Cardinal Electors participating in his election in 2013 merit to be excommunicated and reduced to the lay state for their treachery to Jesus Christ, Pope Benedict and the Church.
    • That consequently all the acts of the antipope Francis, from March 13, 2012, to the death of Pope Benedict XVI on Dec 31, 2022 are null, void, invalid and of no effect, whether they be juridical or magisterial.
    • That the teachings of Pope Francis are heretical and blasphemous and are wholly to be condemned even in all of their parts.
    • That the election of Cardinal Prevost is null, void, invalid, irritus and confers not right upon him.
    • That the Cardinal Electors who participated in the Conclave of 2025 merit to be excommunicated and reduced to the lay state if they do not repent.
    • That the China Accord is null and void
    • That the alterations in the Code of Canon Law after Feb. 28, 2013 are null and void and are to be considered never to have been made.
    • That the reform of the Roman Curia perpetrated by Pope Francis is invalid, null, void, and to be considered never have been effected, and that therefore all the decrees of the Dicasteries and other organs he erected or changed are null, void, invalid and are to be considered never to have been made.
    • That all the decisions of the Apostolic Signatura and Roman Rota from Feb.. 28, 2013 to the Death of Pope Benedict XVI are null, void, invalid, and to be considered never to have been made.
    • That the clergy in every diocese have the right to refuse as their Bishop, any man appointed by Bergoglio before January 30, 2023 or Cardinal Prevost.
    • That in the Church no one is obliged to accept as having the same obligation as an infallible document, the ordinances contained in a pastoral document, because there are only two kinds of valid Councils, disciplinary or dogmatic, and thus that the documents and decrees of Vatican II are to be considered as not obliging upon anyone and incapable of being the cause or reason for any alterations in Catholic Faith, Liturgy or Discipline.
    • That all the clergy who accept the above return to communion with the Apostolic See by rejecting Prevost’s claim to be the Pope.
    • That all the clergy who wish to collaborate with the Apostolic See in this work of the Great Catholic reset apply to the Apostolic See of the new Catholic Pope for faculties.
  2. To invite all Bishops who agree with such a declaration to come to Rome and receive the embrace of the Apostle Peter in the person of the Catholic Pope.
  3. Consecrate and appoint 5000 or more new Catholic Bishops, consecrated in the old Rite and send them to every place on earth to guarantee the faithful have access to the Sacraments, authorizing them to open seminaries and ordain clergy.
  4. To reinstitute the minor orders and encourage men in every parish to receive them up to the grade of Acolyte.
  5. To abolish the law of Paul VI requiring Bishops to retire at 80 for those Bishops who recognize the new Catholic Pope.
  6. To republish the Bull of Pope St. Pius V, Missale Romanum, reinstituting the ancient rites and breviary to the form they had in 1950.
  7. To forbid women any role in the liturgy, for all liturgies outside of the Convents of Female Religious.
  8. To forbid anyone touching the Most Blessed Sacrament who is not a priest.
  9. To require in the Latin Rite everyone to receive Communion on the tongue and kneeling, if they have no proven medical problem which requires them to stand or remain in bed or seated.
  10. To declare the teaching of Paul VI which allowed natural family planning an abomination before God, restoring the proper end of Marriage to the procreation of children.
  11. To end the Saint Factory and the Annulment Factories begun after Vatican IL
  12. To declare all the canonizations after Paul VI changed the criterion for canonizations null and void, and require them to be re-examined using the pre-Vatican II criteria and processes.
  13. To abolish the “Mysteries of Light” for the Rosary, which are based upon no divine revelation.
  14. To abolish the devotion to the Divine Mercy, which has no supernatural miracle to authenticate it, returning importance back to the Sacred Triduum, which is the true Feast of the Divine Mercy.

I could go on, perhaps for hours, but I think you get the idea.

Canon Law, News

Canon 332 §1 declares Pope Leo XIV an anti-pope

7 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

We are living in a very peculiar age in the history of the Catholic Church. As readers of FromRome.Info, from February 11, 2013 until December 31, 2022, the Catholic Church was caught up in a program of mass confusion which broke out over the terms of Canon 332 §2, which reads as follows:

Canon 332 § 2. — Si contingat ut Romanus Pontifex muneri suo renuntiet, ad validitatem requiritur ut renuntiatio libere fiat et rite manifestatur, non vero ut a quopiam acceptatur.

Which in English is:

Canon 332 § 2. — If it happen that the Roman Pontiff renounce his munus, for validity there is required that the renunciation be made freely and be manifested duly (rite), but not that it be accepted by anyone at all.

Here “rite” means in accord with due procedure: “rite” being the Latin word for “according to the ritual”.

This controversy was very easy to understand, since you only had to understand that the Law declared a renunciation of the Petrine munus valid, if the pope renounced the munus freely and duly. But the gaslighters of the Masonic Globalist New World Order wanted that you did not see the word “munus”, or if you did that you understood it as “ministerium” or ministry, as their falsified translations at the Vatican attempted to make it appear.  — You can read our collection of articles on this controversy at “The Index to Pope Benedict XVI’s Renunciation“, which is the only collection still in existence after Andrea Cionci’s blog was erased from the internet two days before Pope Francis’ death.  FromRome.Info was the leading publication which covered that debate and was mentioned in other publications the world over.

But now ahead in time, we go backwards in the Code for a new controversy

So it’s kind of amazing, that just two years later the Church is involved in another controversy, and this time about the previous paragraph of the same Canon in the Code of Canon Law of Pope John Paul II, published in 1983, Canon 332 §1. That paragraph reads:

Can. 332 — § 1. Plenam et supremam in Ecclesia potestatem Romanus Pontifex obtinet legitima electione ab ipso acceptata una cum episcopali consecratione. Quare, eandem potestatem obtinet a momento acceptationis electus ad summum pontificatum, qui episcopali charactere insignitus est. Quod si charactere episcopali electus careat, statim ordinetur Episcopus.

Which in English is,

Can. 332 — § 1.The Roman Pontiff obtains full and supreme authority in the Church by legitimate election accepted by him together with episcopal consecration.  Wherefore, the elect, who has been marked out with the episcopal character, obtains the same authority from the moment of his acceptation regarding the the Supreme Pontificate,  Wherefore, if the elect lacks the episcopal character, let him be immediately ordained a Bishop.

For today the controversy is about another single word, “legitima”, in the Latin, which means “legitmate” in English. And the gaslighting supporters of the Masonic Globalist Order have the same arguments: they want you not to see the word, “legitima”, and want you to understand as “universally accepted”, a term which they further constraint to mean, “accepted by us and all the fools we have fooled”.

But if a pope be elected illegitimately, then clearly according to Canon 332 §1, he is not the pope. And a man who claims to be pope without a legitimate election is an antipope.

This is why when the Cardinals decided to allow 133 Electors to vote, contrary to the law, and elected a man who previously had deviated from the Catholic Faith, they violated two laws (John Paul II’s Law and Pope Paul IV’s law) and thus made the election of Prevost invalid, null, irritus and juridically illegitimate.

Also, it is important to note that Pope John Paul II recognizes that what is important is that the election be juridically valid. Because in Canon 332 §1, he did not use the term “legally” (legale) which would refer only to his law for papal elections, Universi Dominic Gregis, but “legitimate”, a term which comprises all the existing laws, rights, canons which pertain to the election of a Roman Pontiff. Indeed, we know this is the correct reading of that Canon because in his papal law, which I just named, in paragraph n. 4, he explicitly states that during a sedevacante, ALL ecclesiastical laws regarding the election of a Roman Pontiff remain in force and NONE can be done away with by any means whatsoever.

Being a faithful Catholic requires that we accept the laws of the Church and defend them against anyone of any dignity who should attempt to violate them. These last 12 years have been a momentous moment in the life of the Church to out who are faithful and who are unfaithful.

Let us not fail to rise to the occasion and remain faithful!

Finally, we should keep in mind how serious all of this is, for to adhere to a man as the Pope, who was not legitimately elected, one is actively and FORMALLY participating in a usurpation and act of schism. And when this involves a claimant to the papacy who is a manifest heretic, it also involves treachery to Christ Jesus as Supreme Teacher. These are both damnable sins, that is, if you commit them there is absolutely no way to be forgiven in this life or the next, if you die in them without repentance.

GERMANY: A Priest who deserves a Catholic Pope at Rome

Leave a comment

+ + +

Editor’s Note: There is an amazing amount of gaslighting by persons who claim to be Catholic but insist you accept Cardinal Prevost the heretic and follow his lead into apostasy. These fakers would want you to think that supporting the Catholics at Rome to have a juridically valid Catholic pope arises from some sort of psychological problem.

This argument was also used against Catholics who read “munus” where “munus” was written in canon 332 §2 and in the Declaratio of Pope Benedict XVI.

But the thousands of cases of religious persecution by the adherents of the homo-heresy show that without a Catholic Pope at Rome, Catholics have no refuge or defense.

This is why the “Save Rome Project” is not merely about Rome, its about saving the entire Church, the Sacred Hierarchy, the Priesthood, Religious Life, the Mass and the whole body of the Faithful.

It is a good, holy and just thing to have the zeal to do such good works, and thus it is a righteous work to belittle and ignore the partisans of mendacity who would have you ignore the cries of the persecuted.

Asking for Help

Br. Bugnolo’s August 2025 Appeal

1 Comment

By Br. Alexis Bugnolo

I want to thank, most of all, the benefactors who have been helping me meet expenses this year and do so in a timely manner. Next, I want to thank everyone in advance who can help me this August. And I assure both groups of my daily prayers to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart. — I thank all who supported me in July, as you went beyond my needs so that this month, I begin in the positive this month. My rent is the same as always, but as I beg in USD and have to pay bills in Euro, the 15% deflation in the U.S. dollar, since Trump took office, causes it to cost more in dollars here in Italy.

Here is list of my Expenses in August, 2025 ( a √ means the need has been met, a – the need has not been met):

√ $ 600 for food and household supplies

A Neo-Sede on Quaaludes, attacks the “Save Rome Project”

2 Comments

+ + +

Editor’s Note: I won’t name this neo-Sedevacantist, but if you click the image above you can read his whole article. He evidently does not read Italian, because he has attempted to reproduce the entire debate about what Pope Benedict XVI thought of the ecclesiology of Tyconius, a late Roman Donatist heretic, who had the theory that the Church of the antiChrist and the Church of Christ shared the same Mystical Body but that at the end of time, the two would separate and never come back together: this separation being called in Latin a “decessio”, a departure.

But what the author of that article above cited fails to tell you, and perhaps, honestly I will admit, may not even know, is that Cardinal Ratzinger called Tyconius’ idea of the great final decessio “not Catholic”.

The Catholic notion of what the Church is excludes any corrupt conspiracy of men. For men who are heretics are not her members, even if they have not yet been deposed from offices as canons 192 & 194 require. Nor was it ever the intention of Christ Jesus that the Church harbor an evil entity. The correct Christian vision about this is given by Our Lord and Master in the parable of the wheat and tares, where the Church is the field, and only on the Last Day, will Our Lord Himself divide the faithful from the unfaithful who have been pretending to be Her members.

But the above screen shot is the real sign of frustration, because to call the Save Rome Project a “sedevacantist” position, is as I explained in my article, “Was St Hildebrand a sedevacantist?”, simply absurd, because sedevacantists hold, as does the author of the above article, a ideological position about who is and who is not a true pope or a member of the Church, which they use as a cookie-cutter to excuse them from communion with the Apostolic See. Both are also involved in the protestant error of private judgement, in the sense that they see their own personal capacity to judge as sufficient, without any need for a tribunal of the Church to make any declaration. — Both, like even Archbishop Viganò speak like the enemies of the Church, in that they attribute the wickedness of wicked clerics to the substance or being of the Church Herself.

These writers are trying to gaslight you about what the Church is in Her very essence. They want you to give up the fight for the Heavenly Jerusalem on Earth and let evil and wicked men possess Her and rape her.

So from their manner of speech and the goals for which they speak, Neo-Sedevacantists are clearly known and recognized as anti-Catholic, Masonic and Satanic. Have nothing to do with them!

Finally, an observation: the author of the above heretical delirium does not name who or what he is attacking, to prevent his readers from finding out what is the truth about it. In this, the author shows totally disregard for the rights of those who read his screed and uses the Masonic tactic of never speaking of your enemy to prevent him from gaining supporters, while haranguing your own followers: a practice which is highly unethical for a journalist, but quite customary among propagandists.

Vatican News: Globalist Lies, Masonic Propaganda & Ignorance of Latin

6 Comments

Editor’s Note: It is not a rare day that one can visit Vatican News and find glaring examples of who is really in control of the Vatican. So, I will simply leave my readers with this screenshot of one of their pages, which documents all of that: Covid-19, the globalist psyop and fake pandemic; Fratelli Tutti, the document which pushes the Masonic view of humanity; and “Leone Dixit”, the absurd title for talks by Cardinal Prevost, when, in Latin, the correct phrase would be “Leo Dixit”, since “Leone” in Latin is the ablative, and “Leone Dixit” in Latin would mean, “He/She/It has spoken by means of Leo”.

Dr. Mazza’s lie concerning the Election of Innocent II, 1130 A. D.

1 Comment

Editor’s Note: I do not subscribe to or read 1 Peter 5 nowadays, so the above article escaped my attention, until I stumbled upon it today.   Any long time reader of FromRome.Info will know immediately the problem with the article: IT IS A TOTAL LIE.

And Dr. Mazza who has a Ph. D. in history cannot be excused from reckless negligence unless one were to accuse him of malicious deception, in his article published on May, 5, 2025, entitled, “The non-Canonical Conclave which worked.”

POPE NICHOLAS II’S BULL — IN NOMINE DOMINI — GOVERNED THE ELECTION OF 1130

I say this, because he should know, that the election of the pope in 1130 A. D., was governed by the Bull of Pope Nicholas II, In Nomine Domini. — He also knows of FromRome.Info, and if you search for that Bull you will find that the Latin text is published here at FromRome.Info.

That being the case, then, you cannot plead ignorance of what Law governed the Papal Election of Pope Innocent II.

Thus, to say that Pope Innocent II was elected “uncanonically” is a total lie on your part, Dr. Mazza. Because even the facts you cite do not support your thesis, that the Cardinals who elected Innocent II did not follow the law.

As can be seen from the text of the Bull, paragraph 1:

§1. On which account, having been instructed by Our predecessors, and by the authority of the other Holy Fathers, We decree, and establish, that with the passing of the Pontiff of this Catholic Roman Church, first of all, the Cardinal Bishops, treating most diligently together concerning the election, summon immediately the Cardinal Clerics of Christ; and in this manner let the rest of the Clergy, and the People approach to consent to the new election taking the greatest care beforehand, lest the deadly disease of venality insinuate itself by an occasion, and for that reason let the most religious men be the chief leaders in promoting the election of the Pontiff, but the rest be their followers.

As can be seen, the Bull does NOT say, that first the Cardinal Bishops must summon all the other Cardinals. Rather, it says, first the Cardinal Bishops, should treat most diligently together concerning the election.

Thus, since that is what the Cardinal Bishops did, upon the death of Pope Honorious, they did not violate the law. To claim that what they did was “machinations”, is outrageous. —  Dr. Mazza fails to mention that just a few days before, the supporters of the future antipope had stormed the Benedictine Monastery of San Gregorio al Caelio with military forces, only to find Pope Honorius still alive.

The Cardinals who elected Innocent II had a real, sound and proven reason, therefore, to not publicly announce the death of the pope, but to proceed immediately to the election. They were Cardinal Bishops. The presence of military forces of one side, rather than another, would have made the election invalid, by reason of violent extortion, a principle recognized in Church law for centuries. Thus the only way to have a free election was to proceed to the election before announcing the death of the Pope.

Such decisions and actions are not at all forbidden by the Bull of Nicholas II.

Therefore, to say the election of Innocent II was uncanonical, but later accepted by the whole Church, is simply false. It also implies a blasphemy against Saint Bernard of Clairvaux who convinced the Catholic Monarchs of western Europe to accept Pope Innocent, making it appear that the Saint approved of some illegality.

The Heroic Faith of Innocent II

Innocent II, being a man of God, trusted in the Lord Jesus, that God would come to his aid because his election was 100% juridically valid. And that faith was put to great test, as an example for all subsequent generations.  For, shortly after his election the supporters of the Anti-Pope, Anacletus II, who was Jewish by descent, drove him from the City, and those who had elected him, abandoned him! — So he fled to France and the greatest Saint of that age, Saint Bernard took up his cause and rallied the Kings of Europe to his cause. He returned to Rome, three years later, supported by Lothair III, the Germany Emperor and his armies. You can read this in any history of that age.

So, I must conclude by saying, “Shame on you, Dr. Mazza. Shame!”

This article of Dr. Mazza shows, that even those with Doctorates can pen articles which contain lies and falsehoods, or which misrepresent the historical facts. That is why I always urge the readers of FromRome.Info to go back to the actual documents and to read what they say. And when a translation of a Church document, which was written in Latin, is good enough, I do not hesitate to quote it. That is the honest approach to Church issues, regarding documents, and especially regarding laws.

Finally, the article of Dr. Mazza implies that the rules for electing a Pope were, prior to 1130 A. D., governed by Canons.. That is incorrect. The governing rule for the election in that year was a Papal Law, not a canon. Also, the election was not a Conclave, since the institution of the conclave does not originate until the end of the 13th century.

The Infallible Rule by which a true Pope is to be determined

As I have often said, the only criterion by which we can determine if a man is a true Pope of Rome or not, is whether he was the first man to be elected in a juridically valid manner.  This rule is based on a revealed divine principle of right: from the very lips of the Living God, and Supreme Lawgiver: Whatsoever you bind upon earth, shall be bound in Heaven; whatsoever you loose upon earth, shall be loosed in Heaven. And its second principle of right is part of the Deposit of the Faith, because it is a decision of Saint Peter the Apostle to leave the election of his successors to the free decision of the Church at Rome, that is, to the Catholic Clergy, Religious and Laity of the Church at Rome. — There are other subsequent principles of right, which emanate from decisions of Popes and of Synods at Rome during the course of the centuries, such as 1) what constitutes the territorial dimensions of the Church at Rome, 2) suburbican Sees, 3) rules about incardination, 4) pastoral mandates, 5) what constitutes ecclesiastical residence, 6) who can vote, 7) how the election is to proceed in normal circumstances, 8) the Bull of Pope Paul IV, Cum ex apostolatus officio, which declares invalid the election of heretics. — Thus only an election which abides by all these rules is accepted by Christ in Heaven. And consequently any election which does not, is NOT accepted by Jesus Christ, and thus should be rejected and NOT tolerated by all Catholics. Indeed, with the zeal of St. Hildebrand we should reprove and correct anyone who says otherwise.

That is why in this year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Twenty Five, the Conclave of May had no juridically valid result, because Prevost was elected by 133 Cardinal Electors, when the Papal Law of Pope John Paul II, Universi Dominici Gregis, in n. 33, forbids more than 120, and in n. 76 declares invalid, the election of anyone otherwise. I have demonstrated that here. I have refuted contrary opinions here. I have shown, further, that if the Cardinals insist on their invalid act, that they have forfeited their right and competence, HERE, and that thus, we are in a situation juridically equivalent to the same in which all Cardinals had died — an extraordinary legal circumstance not envisioned in any Papal Law or canon currently in force — and that thus, in accord with the infallible teaching contained in the Bull of Nicholas II, n. 3, the right of election returns to the Clergy, Religious and Laity of the Church of Rome, in extraordinary circumstances. And the first man they elect, will be the true Pope in the sight of God Almighty and receive God’s Help and the intercession of Angels and Saints, in Heaven, and on earth, just as God and the Angels and Saints did on behalf of Pope Innocent II.

OTHER ERRORS AT 1 PETER 5

1 Peter 5 has had many articles containing gross errors, as I have documented in the last 12 years, but in addition to the above article by Dr. Mazza, there is this article by T. S. Flanders, which contains many false hoods, not the least of which is implying that Pope Vigilius’ election was irregular, even though Pope Boniface II, in accord with the decision of the Roman Synod of 531 A. D., had designated Vigilius as his successor. Thus, to imply that his election was coerced by the presence of the Byzantine Army is simply false. Moreover, the entire Clergy and Faithful of the Church at Rome accepted him. If there are no historical sources which say whether he was elected or acclaimed by popular consent, that proves nothing, for you cannot argue ex silentio, when all the certain facts are in favor of validity.

Dr. Edward Peters fired from Sacred Heart Seminary, Detroit

1 Comment

Editor’s Note: If there is one constant that we have seen with how the Mafia of St. Gallen treat their supporters, this tweet of Dr,  Peters is it’s epitome. — As readers of FromRome.Info know, Peters was a “Pope Francis is certainly the Pope” guy from the start. It was almost impossible to get him admit there was anything wrong in Bergoglio’s usurpation of the Papacy or in Benedict XVI’s non-abdication. — So I guess he expected a reward with Francis 2.0.  — Quite the contrary. You see, when you serve a lie, it comes back to bite you in the behind.

The same will happen with all who serve the lie that “Prevost is Pope Leo XIV”. I say this in advance, so that years into the future, I can quote myself, and say, “See, I told you so, on July 27, 2025”.

It is so much easier to believe in the Truth and to tell the truth. It is also more rewarding to win, than to insist that you’re better off on the loosing side. Stand with Christ the Victor, every time, and you will not be disappointed
