Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
A LITTLE HISTORY
Pope Francis, during his antipapacy, moved to suppress the Traditional Ritual of the Mass in the Roman Rite. I warned them he had no authority, but the Traditionalists, who already refused to see what anyone with the least respect for the signification of Latin terms mean, that Pope Benedict XVI never abdicated, preferred to have the Traditional Latin Mass taken away from them than to reject that lie.
Even Bishop Strickland, who in private told everyone that Bergoglio was not the pope, but Benedict XVI was, allowed Bergoglio to remove him from office.
This is what happens to you when you believe a lie about who is and who is not your superior, when you are the kind of person who prefers lies to truths.
NOW TO THE PRESENT
Now, it has come out that Bergoglio based his decisions on a lie, just as his claim to office during the life of Pope Benedict XVI was a total lie. Surprised?
And Bishop Strickland, what has become of him? In this interview he says he is glad that the truth about how the suppression of the Latin Mass was based on a lie, has become public, because it will help Pope Leo XIV correct the abuses!
That’s like saying, that since it has come out that the former Don of the Mafia lied and cheated, that his handpicked successor can now clean up the neighborhood!
The above is a case of extreme hopium addiction
And I post this video with my commentary to help hopium addicts see it.
“Hopium” is a neologism, for the extreme irrational desire to hope in a good outcome, despite all the evidence to the contrary. It is a form of psychological disorder of the kind that leads to psychosis: being psychologically divorced from the real world, and preferring to live in a make-believe world.
So when you wonder why Catholics refuse to even consider that the Conclave was not regular, remember they are probably hopium addicts, and you need to address that issue first. — Like opium addiction, you cannot expect those who suffer from it to have the same rational appreciation for reality as yourself, if they spend all their day in an Opium Parlor smoking it.
Drug Pushers
And this reflection helps us understand how drug-pushers are very much like grifters on social media, of which Trad Inc. is perhaps the worse, because they claim to be traditionalists, but they are in fact psychological hopium drug-pushers.
I have had the honor in life to know several Police officers who worked with drug and narcotic trafficking. And they all agree on this: that the drug addict might be a hopeless or depressed person, or a fool who got hooked, through a friend, but the drug pusher is a totally psychopathic individual who can never be trusted ever for the rest of his life with anything, since he lacks all appreciation that others are human beings and persons, viewing them only as an occasion of personal self-enrichment.
And thus, I will conclude here, having moved one more step forward in identifying those “Catholic” grifters, who claim to be independent news sources, but do not see it as in their interest to publish the truth.
True Hope vs. Fake Hope
Authentic supernatural hope is based on the promises of Christ to those who remain faithful to Him. Authentic natural hope is based on a rational appreciation of the good which is and can be achieved. Refusing to obey someone who is not juridically your legitimate superior is merely the first requirement of a sane society. Hopium is a diabolic counterfeit and replica which leads to enslavement and inaction. But the true forms of hope lead to liberty and action, especially as is found in works of righteousness and virtue, and the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
TRUE HOPE BASED ACTION
True supernatural hope is the foundation of true Zeal, since true hope puts no limits on the trust one places in God and in the words of God, such as:
- Whatsoever you bind upon earth, shall be bound in heaven,
- The Gates of Hell shall not prevail over My Church,
- Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find,
- I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life
And thus in regards to saving the Church from masonic and immoral men who have seized power and demand we submit to them, and abandon Jesus Christ, truly hope inspired Catholics will never doubt that God will reward them infinitely beyond their wildest dreams for helping the Catholics of Rome to elect a Catholic Pope and unseat antipopes.
If Catholics but embrace true hope, and not hopium.

The Book on the Trinity, every faithful Catholic priest would love as his next present
This is Br. Bugnolo's English Translation, of Saint Bonaventure's encylopedic book of theology on the Trinity: With this book, your priest will always have something intelligent and awesomely inspiring to preach to you about
God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit!

Phenomenal article! True hope is trusting in the promises God makes to us.
The people of Rome ‘re-elected’ pope Francis , so why wouldn’t it be ‘hopium addiction’ to give them another chance ?
The people of Rome did not elect anyone. The Assembly of the Faithful was a gathering of Catholics who are members of the Church at Rome. If you do not understand the difference I can understand how you might have difficulty discerning true hope from hopium.
They also did not re-elect Pope Francis, since Pope Francis had never been elected validly as pope ever before. If you think he was, then I do not understand your objection.
Finally, the Faithful of Rome came to elect a Catholic Pope, but Andrea Cionci, Don Minutella and all who claimed to be “pro Benedict XVI”, except myself, promoted no Candidate. Neither did I because as organizer I did not want to seem to favor one over another.
When no candidates came, we were left with four possibilities. Vigano, Lenga, Gracida and Bergoglio. I urged that the Faithful elect any one of these, but when asked by them if they would accept, I could not promise them on my authority that they would. They said also that they did not know Lenga nor Gracida. Nor did we think Vigano would accept, because so many Catholics were told not to come.
The assembly was called to solve two problems, and we found that because of the betrayal by so many, we could only solve one: that is to validly elect the man whom 99.99% of Catholic thought was the true pope. A vote which God confirmed by lighting within 11 months, when He showed his disfavor of what Bergoglio did in Dec. of 2024.
So we gave the whole Catholic world what they did not merit, but which helped them in the sight of God to no longer be as guilty as before. That was a holy work. That is not hopium.
If you want Leo XIV to get re-elected just do as Cionci and Minutella did 2 years ago. But don’t come back in 4 years and say it was my fault. Do I have to do everything? I did infinitely more than you did, though I thank you for your past support on that project.
So reflect on that.
And if you want a Catholic, then start writing all the Bishops in the world you think are Catholic and urge them to be a candidate. And let me know who they are if they do not intend being present on the day of the election.
That is the true hope filled action.
As for Hopium, since you certainly do not seem to suffer from that, quite the contrary, I do not know why you are trolling me in the comments to this article, unless you simply want to promote hopium addiction out of spite.
I publish your comment to show the world that not everyone suffers from hopium, But evil rancor is also fairly common.
I have explained this many times two years ago, but you just wont stop trolling me over it. So I replied this time and have edited your name out, to protect your reputation. But I will not answer your trolling comments again, since you evidently do not know that by posting each of them you committed a mortal sin of contumely and calumny, against the Catholics who did attend and did the only thing we could do.
BTW, I do not remember you attending as a witness, so I assume you never cared about the outcome. Also, you never contacted me and told me whom you convinced to be a candidate. So who is to blame?
The Catholics who came were like myself, simple humble people, not partisans of any particular candidate. All the proud, presumptuous, indifferent and hypocritical catholics did not attend and did not promote any candidate.
So I have learned my lesson, because if God permits I will attend, and I will insist that we elect a Catholic and explain what the previous assembly did, and why that is not enough this time.
The Church of” Hopium” lives in in the unfulfilled hearts of the emotions because the emotions are merely earthbound optimism. ..and in Heaven there are no earthbound emotions…only the Heavenly SUPERNATURAL State of Grace of The Intellect and Will.Hard to immediately believe… that the Church could be so off the tracks in its course in its V2 anti Catholic theology . The TLM is a track back. Fight for it.
Alas, the Traditionalists who go to the TLM seem to be actually more willing to accept a heretical antipope who will deny them the TLM, than push for a Catholic Pope who would give them the TLM in abundance. This shows you that they really hate the TLM and hate themselves, the Church and their children.
Appreciate these insights.
