“Ecclesiology” is the term used for the theological principles by which the Church is constituted. Broadly speaking, it can be used also in regard to fake Churches, not founded by God, but by men.

Thus, we can in a sense speak of the ecclesiology of the Catholic Church, as well as of a Masonic Church, which apes to be a Christian Church.

Here it will be useful to compare the two, to help Catholics discern the signs of the true Church from the masonic ideal of “church” promoted by nearly every “Catholic” influence who opens their mouth on the subject.

First, you must understand, that no one becomes a influencer unless a social media platform allows them to speak. And no major platform allows you to speak unless they make money out of it via advertising.

Thus, when you see a YouTube channel with 25 million followers, you know that the producer is a YouTube partner with a special deal on advertisement revenue sharing, and an agreement to produce videos on certain topics and not on others. If anyone of these channels did a video on the Scamdemic it would be shut down in one day, in the electronic equivalent of a Charlie Kirk style Assassination.

So let’s compare the Catholic Church’s ecclesiology with that of the Antichristic Church which the Freemasons have constructed.

Founder

For the Catholic Church, the Founder is Jesus Christ.

For the Antichristic Church, the Founder is some man.

Foundation

For the Catholic Church, the Foundation event is Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended.

For the Antichristic Church, the Foundation event is some meeting or synod or council of men.

Purpose for which it Exists

For the Catholic Church, the purpose for which She exists is the greatest glory of God through the salvation of souls and the honoring of the Divine Majesty.

For the Antichristic Church, the purpose for which it exists is to be some sort of control system over the minds and hearts and persons of men and women and children, for the sake of some earthly, temporal objective.

Means by which it Operates

For the Catholic Church, the modus operandi is the preaching of the Eternal Truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the instruction of souls in these truths.

For the Antichristic Church, the modus operandi is the propagation of lies and half-truths, to ape the Gospel of Christ and to brainwash the masses in these lies and errors by means of the control of the press and the bitter persecution of all who object.

Visible Head on Earth

The visible head of the Catholic Church on Earth is Christ’s Vicar, a legitimately elected Roman Pontiff.

The visible head of the Antichristic Church will be some human person usurping authority over mankind: ultimately the Antichrist, and penultimately the False Prophet. But until then, schismatic clergy or falsely elected antipopes or arch-Heretics, such as Luther. Worse of all of these lessers would fulfill all the conditions of the Antichrist, without being yet him: namely an illegitimately elected Jew who publicly professes heresies against the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

System of Government

The Catholic Church is governed by legitimately appointed superiors from legitimately appointed popes: the Church strives to appoint honest, holey and lawabiding men to lead the Faithful to God.

The Antichristic Church must necessarily search for corrupted heretical men, who are depraved in their innermost hearts, who are appointed illegitimately by antipopes and heretics and who strive to corrupt men, women and children in morals so as to lead them to damnation and further subservience to the Globalists Elites.

Applying these Principles of Ecclesiology to Discernment

I hope you can now see, by applying these principles, that every “Catholic” influencer who says:

1. It’s not important who is the pope.
2. Don’t call the pope a heretic even if he is.
3. Don’t question Papal Elections.
4. Presume the Cardinals are always honest, even when they publicly lie or violate the law;
5. Remain calm and follow your superiors.
6. Don’t pay attention to the news which is trying to distort your views of the Clergy and Church.
7. There may be masonic or globalist conspiracies in the Church, but it’s wrong to judge the Pope or your Bishop as being involved in any of these;
8. Don’t read the Papal Laws for how the Church should be governed, but follow what the Cardinals and Bishops say is O. K..

is a member of the Church of the Antichrist.

But, that those Voices who say:

1. Following the true pope is a matter of eternal salvation.
2. If the pope is a heretic he must be denounced as such in a Provincial Council.
3. In an Age of Lies, question every Papal Election, to see if it has conformed with the laws.
4. Never presume a Cardinal is honest, when he has publicly lied or violated the law;
5. Stoke the fires of holy zeal by meditating on what Christ did to save souls.
6. Chronicle the news of scandals so as to identify who are Christ’s enemies and who are the clergy who are faithful.
7. Since there are masonic or globalist conspiracies in the Church, it is reasonable to presume a Pope or your Bishop is being involved in them when he pushes these agendas;
8. Read the Papal Laws for how Popes must be elected, how the Church should be governed, and follow no cleric who refuses to do this or counsels the opposite.

are members of the Catholic Church.

This is why you will find me, on these pages of FromRome.Info, often railing against other “Catholic” publishers, since 99.999% of the time they fail to observe the last 8 points, and instead fulfill one or more of the first 8 points.

This is why, for 12 years, as of this month of September, 2025, I have been publishing FromRome. These 8 rules of discerning a true Catholic publisher are the very constitution and editorial policy here. Thank you for supporting FromRome all these years. Without you it would not be possible. But perhaps, in all the 12+ thousand articles, you might have missed the big picture. So I have spelled it out for you in this one article.
