Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo, Editor of FromRome.Info

Catholic Laymen have in recent decades amassed massive influence in the Church through their independent journalistic endeavors, which range from YouTube Channels and websites, to quasi media-empires, of the kind that Mike Voris ran.

But since Pope Benedict XVI’s incomplete resignation, nearly all of these “apostolates” chose to sustain and support the dominate Narrative of lies, that Bergoglio was the Pope and Benedict was not. Those of them who were “conservatives” then began, though slowly at first, pointing out the errors of Bergoglio, while insisting that he was the true Pope.

I can still remember the day back in April of 2016, when one of the editors of Life Site News, upon receiving the Press Release about Veri Catholici’s upcoming Conference at Rome, to denounce ‘Amoris Laetitia’, sent me a very angry letter demanding that I give up the names of the members of Veri Catholici as a condition for even obtaining a consideration — no promises — of running a news article about the Conference.

I felt like I was being shaken down by a Mafioso. LifeSite never mentioned Veri Catholic again to anyone ever. That group and myself were put on an eternal blacklist, along with FromRome.Info.

For the record, the real reason is that Veri Catholici had decided to break from the controlled media pack of controlled opposition voices and speak like true Catholics.

So today’s news, while it saddens many, is actually a good thing for Catholic Social Media, for it shows what happens when you but narrative control in the driver’s seat, rather than the Catholic Faith and love for Holy Mother Church.

Don’t believe for the moment the spin on this news by Chris Jackson, who would have Weston’s outting due to the fact that he was the true independent Catholic voice. He never was, and never tried to be. He was always withing the Globalist Narrative. — Since the “selection” of Cardinal Prevost, LifeSite like nearly all the other grifter controlled opposition sites flip-flopped in 24 hours, from being strong vocal critics of the Bergoglian agenda, to being loud supporters of the legitimacy of Francis 2.0. — REMEMBER, you can criticize an antipope till hell freezes over, but if you keep calling him the true pope, you are serving Satan. Chris Jackson wants you not to think about that. And in that, he too has pledged himself to the Big Lie.

But this cozying up to Leo, even with criticism, was evidently, for the readership of LifeSite the last straw. The Board of Directors seems to have made a decision for financial survival, but the wrong kind of decision: they want to be more pro Leo XIV!

Weston and his editors were taking 125 to 250 thousand dollars a year in salaries, in recent years. So the Board of Directors might just have realized that that those donations received could be better spent. — Also, now that USAID has been cut, LifeSite might have lost major financial support for their protection of Pope Francis, who was clearly a Hilary Clinton choice for pope.

And indeed, the “Leo XIV” narrative is failing so fast, and so much money is at stake, since the Vatican has a major liquidity problem, that it might be possible that the Vatican donated though or asked a major supporter to/of LifeSite in return for dumping Weston. Another possibility is that the Board of Directors of LifeSite has persons on it capable of being influenced by groups which are working with the St. Gallen Mafia, such as the Legionnaires of Christ or Opus Dei, which are known to use their influence to shut down opposition to the St. Gallen Mafia.

FromRome.Info has seen this in its own regard: it is viciously attacked by pro-Russians and those affiliated with the Italian Ministry of Defense, who never attack directly but through fake opposition influencers, while being blacklisted by Gladio affiliated outlets.

The destruction of fake opposition sources is good for Catholics in the English speaking world: the implosion of Voris’ Church Militant TV and now LifeSite will force Catholics to search for news sources which are truly Catholic and independent, and can at least balance their budgets.

FromRome.Info survives, because it is published by a Franciscan hermit, who lives by alms, and just tries to get by, month to month; on which account he knows that without a constant service of Christ the Truth and advocacy to defend Holy Mother Church from the Bergoglian heretics, he would be a total apostate from everything he vowed to God 33+ years ago, and lose God’s assistance.

Finally, to all the grifters out there and fake opposition Catholic news sources, all I can say is that I pray for your conversion, to tell the truth, in season or out of season, since that is what Saint Paul gave us an example to do. If not, expect bankruptcy when you speak rather in the service of the Father of Lies for the sake of filthy lucre.
