Consumers of any product or service have the right to know who is behind it. This is all the more true in Catholic Media, which, if you have payed attention, is completely unregulated and has no process whereby anyone is vetted or even substantially identified.
Unlike the rest of Catholic Media, FromRome.Info provides detailed information about who its editor is and what his biography has been.
But to my knowledge, no other Catholic website does this, not even Vatican.va.
Yet, information, especially about the Church, is the field of interest which in our lives we should have the highest level of caution about, since the most powerful and cheap way of controlling persons is through lying to them.
As AJ and I discussed yesterday in our 9th Anniversary Video for Ordo Militaris Catholicus, we remained convinced that Catholic “independent” media is run by Freemasons, simply because you do not find any voices among them, at all, who act like Catholics who are interested in the truth about the Catholic Church. Rather, they are dedicated to a narrative, and are committed to sustaining a narrative. They knowingly deceive their readers by actively censoring the news about the Church which does not fit that narrative. And as many of you already know, this can be discovered quite easily by posting a comment on any of their websites, about truths of modern Catholic History, which they do not admit to be mentioned or discussed.
A merely commercially minded Catholic media influencer would speak about all topics and allow the mention of all topics. When your favorite Catholic website, social media channel, video channel, newspapers, speaker, podcaster, acts otherwise, you have good grounds to question what they are really doing.
So I encourage all Catholics to question WHO is publishing at their favorite sites, to ask them detailed questions, and find out what they are actually doing with the monies they solicit. And if they refuse such questions, regard whatever they publish with more suspicion that a side-walk vendor of any product the origin of which they refuse to disclose.
Be especially suspicious of sites which attack others while refusing to identify themselves. Keep in mind that there already exists sufficient technology for anyone in any part of the world to publish a “Catholic” information source, without the need to be a Catholic, AND that there exist many enemies of the Church who would have no qualms about such imposture.

The Book on the Trinity, every faithful Catholic priest would love as his next present

God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit!

I discovered this website accidentally when someone posted it on Substance. Still don’t know what to think of it. Something you write sounds reasonable and convincing other stuff like crazy batshit to be perfectly honest. It still might be true but I find it harder and harder to find what is true just about anything. That being said people simply are not comfortable to be associated with crazy stuff. Might that be the reason why they censor you instead of due to connection to masonic lodges? I apologize if that sounds rude.
No it does not sound rude. But the hypothesis you propose is even more crazy, because you are supposing that anyone reading articles from FromRome.Info could not look around and read the sources which are nearly always cited in the most counter-dominant narrative articles. And anyone who is a true Catholic knows that an argument based on the truth is not crazy batshit, even if a Freemason might think so.
And it would be even more crazy that a publisher who can read and write and has a college degree, like nearly all Catholic websites of any import, would be so ignorant as to limit his reading the way we do in the United States at the checkout of a Superamarket as we pass-by the Scandal-Sheets for sale, which are found there.
Greater men than I have said, that honesty presupposes not ignorance but bad will in the learned, and good will in the ignorant.
But you evidently have missed the whole point of the article, or read it badly, because I did not say that all other sites are run by Masons because they disagree with me, but because they guard narratives which are not consonant with reality. I guess you missed that.
My point is those people may ignore you not because they are Masons but because they consider your articles crazy and sources you cite not respectable enough. Snobbery not Masonry.
What is your proof it’s the latter and not the former?
Since I only cite Church documents in my arguments, the mere fact that someone does not accept these demonstrates that they are not in communion with the Catholic Church. — So what kind of person would pretend to be Catholic to influence catholics, but not accept Church documents?
As for their modus operandi, which convinces me that they are Freemasons…
That they support with lies and censorship, defamation, libel and calumny, the narratives that Freemasons have authored, and use the same tactics against those who speak the truth. — That many of them refuse to identify themselves, that they write on topics regarding the Church with total disregard for Church Law, regarding who is and who is not the Pope, or Catholic Doctrine regarding the authority of Papal Laws. That they refuse to consider and ridicule evidence published regarding who is and who is not the pope. And that they consider the determiners of truth, Cardinals or clergy, who openly disagree with the Catholic Faith or disregard Papal Laws. — That by the narratives they sustain and censorship they practice, proven daily by the erasure of comments, they maintain in power the enemies of Jesus Christ and trample upon the rights and authority of valid Popes from Nicholas II to Benedict XVI.
Do I have to go on?
I will cite the Divinely revealed rule which justifies my analysis: “Judge them by their deeds, not their words”, that is by their habits of acting rather than their verbal claims to be Catholic.
But as to your desire to see the “proof” that I have, I think you misunderstand what opinion is. You can have an opinion without having sufficient forensic evidence to convict someone in court. And there can be many reasons and motives for having an opinion, which in many affairs is the only thing one can have, since one does not have access to more information.
But as for your whole tone to the article, not to mention the trolls you have commenting here to approve of your comments, it appears that you feel deeply threatened by an article where I raise this issue, because it shows that its an important question to be asked, especially for persons like yourself who have contempt for objective reality and the nature of the Catholic Religion, as your comments show.
Catholics are not free-thinkers. We hold that we are obliged by the truth and the teachings of God, the Saints and the Magisterium. Having this habit of mind from our earliest days, it is easy for us to recognize other kinds of thought, like that of your own, which is not grounded in objective reality but attempts to gaslight or relativise a discussion. You would not ask the question if you held catholic principles, you would rather examine other websites and see if what i have observed is objectively apparent in their behavior and publications. I have been on the internet since 1991, so I have seen alot of water flow under the bridge, and being trained in Anthropology’s participant-observation techniques, cannot not see what I see.
But I thank you for your comments, because you have attempted to sustain the strongest possible argument for your position, and have succeeded only to clarify the issue. I will admit though, that some people are so snobbish as to hate the truth, if it be spoken by someone outside of their circle of friends, but when that circle includes nearly all publishers who claim to be independent, but sustain globalist narratives, I find, and I think most Catholics would too, that there is something fraudulent about these publishers claiming to be independent.
As for your accusation against them, of being snobs, I cannot say I have any information about that, because I have not seen any evidence of that. Indeed, I have never met anyone who would be so snobbish that they would hate what another person says, even when they quote objective authorities or documents to sustain the position that they advocate. And thus I do not think your accusation against them is rationally demonstrable let alone would explain their human motivations. — But if you want to stick with your unproven allegation which would certainly not explain their behavior entirely, you are free to have your opinion. I just wonder why you demand proof for my opinion, while having reckless disinterest in having proof for your opinion.
