I look forward to learning more at SedesApostolica.info.
Please be patient, for a lot of work has to be done to set up a new website and prepared documents in Latin, English and Italian. So expect about 2 weeks at least.
And please share the news, so that by the time the website is ready, Catholics know of the great grace which Christ just granted His Bride.
Absolute nonsense, the Election was held but the results won’t be known for weeks? The announcement ‘Habemus Papam’ is made immediately, even centuries ago! But in this age of instant communication we must wait? Dear Brother (Holiness?), you must be inhaling too much of that fluid leaking from your jalopy (popemobile)… or did you elect Leo, as you did Francis, so no rush, because he’s already acknowledged? Viva il Papa, whoever he is!
Dear Joyful Begrudger,
In the interests of honest transparency, we do not live in a world of candy canes and lolipops, but rather in a valley of tears ruled by psycopaths, and in an age of total fraud and assassinations. Therefore, there is a time and place for everything, and a precedent too, since even Pope Nicholas II was elected in May of 1058, but only proclaimed on Dec. 6, 1058 and only enthroned on January 24, 2026. And that was back when everyone had the right to bear arms, and Gergard of Burgundy (Nicholas II) had the backing of the thousands of troops of the Margrave of Tuscany. Seeing there are no such securities today, but all the more menaces, I thank God for the merit of enduring the mockery you send my way. Time will tell all. And in the mean time, take a short walk down the street and see if your local public library has interlibrary loan, as that way you will be able to find a few books to confirm what I said.
Jubilate Deo!
Just going to the chapel to thank God…
Br. B. Ask Candace by gmail if she will interview you on this matter if you think she would be interested.
This would for sure get the” news “out there. The Truth always wins in the end but this is an explosive issue, especially since Our Lady revealed that the devil would enter the Church and it would become the seat of the Antichrist ( a muslim.666.in his name 31/2” yr reign. ) .
If she cannot then Thank God and her because Hewill find another way to get the news out. ( Fr Dan Rehill faced many of the same resistances you have and God has allowed him to overcome them.)
Good idea, Mary! Steve Bannon might cover it too.
Glory be to God! This coming Advent season will be especially joyous! Grace once again will rain down on earth!
Brother, How can we rejoice not knowing who won?
Papal elections are not about winning, they are more about finding someone foolish enough to volunteer following Christ to Calvary. Saint Peter, let us remember, died crucified, upside down. — As for other things, it’s a question of the time needed to put everything in order and to protect against the enemies of God, who will go on the war path, as soon as the identity of the Holy Father be known.

Merci, beaucoup!
I am sharing the news across the United States. I will be offering my daily rosary for the special intentions of our new pope. Habemus Papam! The Freemason attack on the papacy has once again been defeated.
Here is an example of the success of my reporting this news: https://operationdisclosureofficial.com/2025/11/25/reader-a-fellow-patriot-the-current-freemason-attack-on-the-papacy-has-been-defeated/
Thanks for getting the word out. Though, as one publisher to another, I think you could format the text better.
OK – understood. Will stick to your headline without edits. As the Freemason infiltration of the Church is a well known phenomenon at this news site, I prefaced your headline in attempt to improve potential for the editor to post the news in this instance . He jumped on it immediately. I understand only too well that the reality of the Freemason infiltration of the Church is almost unknown by most Catholics in the United States, and its mention as such could easily do more harm than good at this time in spreading this good news.
Congratulations. Your canonical arguments have gone unrefuted and now your years of study and suffering are bearing this fruit. May you be richly rewarded for your sacrifices.
This is God’s Providence unfolding before our eyes.
It will be interesting to see how the Pope exercizes the ministry under these unusual conditions.
Deo gratias.
All glory and praise to God. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide the True Church and defend and protect the Holy Bride of Christ.
A huge loss for authentic Catholic journalism and honest journalism in general (you), but an even larger gain for the Church. And that is not only the point, it is THE WHOLE POINT, THE ONLY POINT.
I only wish I could join you, but at 75 years of age in not the best of health, all I can offer is a daily Rosary, Masses and sacrifices for the True Church’s cause.
I see this as a key step toward the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary which Our Blessed Lord has given over to Our Lady to humiliate Satan through the Queen of Humility who will crush his head, the symbol of his pride.
Accordingly, the specifics to which She calls us have great importance in this battle, primarily the Rosary by which a place of attentive silence during Mental Prayer is created for God to speak His unique will to each person, so that each person can reply in union with Mary, “Be it done to me according to thy word.”
Unfortunately, thousands of observations over several decades demonstrate that virtually no one actually prays an authentic Rosary, whether through ignorance, poor catechesis, sloth, stubbornness, disobedience or lack of faith. Instead, what’s prayed is an embellished Marian Psalter. Further explanation and real-life examples could fill a book, so I will be brief. In group prayer, there are never (take that literally) quiet periods of external silence during which Mental Prayer can occur, and so there cannot be the most important aspect of Mental Prayer, an attentive internal silence wherein God speaks to the depths of a soul and that soul listens to His words and will beyond mere physical limits (hearing beyond hearing words).
Therefore, what I can do in support of you in my locale is to educate on some major aspects of an authentic Rosary, e.g., that full Mental Prayer is required rather than strictly meditation (study without personal application); that Mental Prayer consists of considerations, affections, resolutions, colloquy, and that attentive silence to which I referred earlier; that Mental Prayer and vocal prayer are not to be done simultaneously without great harm to both; that Our Lady’s emphasis is not on the number of decades recited or the number of Mysteries receiving meditation in a single sitting – quantity for quantity’s sake — but instead on the depth of meditation (Mental Prayer) because only Mental Prayer brings amendment of life that eliminates sin, increases virtue and defines a person’s next step along the path God has laid out.
Then, on that foundation, I can explain from Church law the invalidity of the last 2 conclaves and the legal validity of the remedy from Apostolic Right that has just been implemented.
I beseech Our Lady to pour abundant graces on your (plural) efforts and will urge others to do the same.
Our Lady, Co-Redemptris, pray for us.
Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces, pray for us.
Viva Christo Rey!
Thank you, Claude, for this exposition on Mental prayer as it relates to the praying of the Most Holy Rosary.
For myself, I can say that I woke up yesterday morning filled with peace and joy, for no apparent reason other than the gift to see another day. Later, when I read that the election occurred the day before, I knew the reason for it. So, the work of the Holy Spirit is mysterious and is not limited to our time in deep mental prayer, though this is certainly meritorious. I will pray my Rosary as you have outlined in thanksgiving for the election and for all the needs of the true Holy Father and for his protection and grace to govern the Church.
Gospel according to Saint Luke : 21:7-21:16
And they asked him, saying: Master, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when they shall begin to come to pass? Who said: “Take heed you be not seduced; for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the time is at hand: go ye not therefore after them” (Bergolio/Prevost)
And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified: these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet presently.
Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places, and pestilences, and famines, and terrors from heaven; and there shall be great signs.
But before all these things, they will lay their hands upon you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name’s sake. And it shall happen unto you for a testimony. Lay it up therefore into your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.
And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren, and kinsmen and friends; and some of you they will put to death.
And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake. But a hair of your head shall not perish. In your patience you shall possess your souls. And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army; then know that the desolation thereof is at hand.
Dear Brother,
So, I understand the import of the Bull to be that it empowers the election of a Pope by electors outside the city of Rome itself. Do you take that to mean alternate electors, or just the usual electors in a different place, due to circumstances in the city? If alternate electors and outside the city, what would make this election different from the others that have produced other papal claimants before this current one?
Thank you for asking your questions, the answer to which will shed light on the teaching of Pope Nicholas II.
First, what is important is what the Bull says, not what private interpretation wants it to say. Thus, we must look closely at the original text. You use the word, “alternate” in regard to electorate, I do not use this word, because alternate implies “the other of two”, from the Latin meaning of the adjective, “alter”, and what we have here is a discussion of the same electorate defined or restricted by a positive law, and the same electorate not defined or restricted by positive law.
Much of your question is answered in this article
https://www.fromrome.info/2025/11/12/1058-the-year-saint-hildebrand-saved-the-catholic-church-forever/
But your specific question, from a textual point of view is found in the original Latin of the Bull, where in n. 1, Nicholas II, restricting the electorate writes, “cardinales episcopi… clericos cardinales … reliquus clerus et populus “, but in n. 3 he writes “cardinales episcopi cum religosis clericis catholicisque laicis”.
From this difference, whereby he excludes mention of all the other grades of the Cardinalate, among the second group — grades which had existed, as far as the historical record tells, since the time of Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th century:
https://collegeofcardinalsreport.com/conclaves/brief-history-of-the-cardinalate/
And whereby he adds religious clergy — that is all the clergy who live rightly — and specifies the laity in a more restricted sense as “Catholic laity”, indicating their membership in the Church of Rome by Faith and communion, he is clearly abolishing the norm he himself established in n. 1 of the same Bull.
As for the adjectives, “religious” and “Catholic”, philosophically we can reduce them to the category of “honest” or “upright”. In this sense, they are not juridical since juridically we cannot determined categories of honest and upright, religious or Catholic, except by specific examination, and the Church has never subjected individuals prior to an election to such a process of qualification, though it be true that you only have the right to participate in an election if you are in communion with the Church and not under the sentence of excommunication or exclusion from active and passive voice in elections. — For this reason, knowing what we know now about the Gregorian Reform these terms, “religious” and “Catholic” are inserted here to emphasize that if there is to be an election to correct an invalid election that it must be motivated for honest purposes and not involve violations of other canons nor things like simony. And that makes sense, because if one heard of a second election, which took place in a brothel, who would consider it valid?
To summarize what I have said so far, Pope Nicholas II, in restricting the right of the election to Cardinal Bishops, while conceding that the electorate included other grades of Cardinals and all the faithful of Rome, even the laity, says in cases of an illegal or invalid election that not only can there be a legitimate election outside of the city, but that the electorate participating is not restricted, though it should be honest, and that it can include even as small as a few (pauci) which in Latin means 3 ore more — if we are to hold to a more certain reading of the Latin term, rather than merely 2 or three, as the word generally means today.
But the Bull is momentous in the history of the election of the Pope, because it is the first Papal law which restricts the electorate as a principle, though a Synod at Rome in the 6th century is said to have urged the clergy to take the lead in the nomination of a candidate.
So it is clear textually that Pope Nicholas II is saying in emergency cases that the restriction of the electorate is abolished.
But Pope John Paul II and Pius XII both abolished all previous papal legislation and custom
Pius XII did this in his Vacntis Apostolicae Sedis, n. 108
https://www.vatican.va/content/pius-xii/la/apost_constitutions/documents/hf_p-xii_apc_19451208_vacantis-apostolicae-sedis.html
Where he writes,
“Non obstantibus, quatenus opus sit, per Romanos Pontifices Praedecessores Nostros editis Constitutionibus et Ordinationibus Apostolicis, quas omnes et singulas abrogatas, ut supra, declaramus, ceterisque etiam individua ac specialissima mentione et derogatione dignis, contrariis quibuslibet. ”
And John Paul II did this in Universi Dominici Gregis, where he writes in the final Promulgatio:
https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/la/apost_constitutions/documents/hf_jp-ii_apc_22021996_universi-dominici-gregis.html
“Ea quidem ab omnibus religiose servetur, contrariis quibusvis nihil obstantibus, etiam specialissima mentione dignis.”
That all previous Papal, Conciliar, and Synodal laws about Papal elections are abolished.
But both Pius XII and John Paul II restrict the electorate to the Cardinals.
Thus, the magisterial teaching in n. 3 of the Bull of Nicholas II, which says that the larger electorate obtains the right of power (ius potestatis), that is the ability to elect, includes not only in another place but also with all restrictions on the electorate abolished, and by saying “even few”, teaches that this right of the Church of Rome to elect her own bishop, is present in even a few of the wider electorate. What is this wider electorate? It is the Church before any positive law restricted it. And from the history of the Church we know that that is all the Faithful.
(Side note: the Church at Rome included from ancient times all the territory withing 100 Roman Miles, which zone was calls the suburbican territory. In the first century this included all of the Province of Rome plus some, but as the years passed and other dioceses were founded, that territory was reduced. Still, even today, there are the 7 suburbican dioceses, each which has its own bishop, who once was a Cardinal ex officio, and now is not so. And this is why the Church at Rome can have Bishops, during a sede vacante of the Roman Pontiff. Though admittedly, already in the age of Nicholas II Cardinal Bishops were being named for specific Churches at Rome, as is done today, with titular sees, to guarantee juridically that they are members of the Church at Rome and capable of being elector. If being a Cardinal of itself made you an elector, then that would not be necessary. What is necessary for clergy is that they be incardinated in the territory of the Church at Rome, including her suburbican regions. In this way, even the present tradition of Cardinal Electors testifies to the original extension of the electorate.)
I have already demonstrated this in my disputed question here
https://www.fromrome.info/2019/01/19/whether-with-all-cardinal-electors-defecting-the-roman-church-has-the-right-to-elect-the-pope/
Where I show, if the Church at Rome is to remain until the end of time as the same juridical entity which Christ Founded with Saint Peter, it must have the right in extraordinary cases to elect validly his successor, even if there be but a few Faithful left, otherwise the enemies of Christ could extinguish the Church by simply eradicating all the Cardinals, that is, the restricted electorate.
This is theological explanation of the teaching of Nicholas II.
The contrary position leads to an absurdity, for if all the Cardinals were to participate in an illegally held election by mutual pact and conspiracy, the legitimacy of the Papacy would come to an end and the Apostolic Succession, in the juridical sense, which that papacy guarantees, would fail.
Thus there must be some mechanism by which even if the entire restricted electorate ceases to exist or conspires against the laws of Christ’s Vicar, that the Church at Rome can repair for the lack of a valid election.
And in my scholastic question I cite the Code of Justinian for the juridical principle of the Natural Law which explains the relationship among positive laws which restrict an electorate to fontal laws which grant a general or non restricted right.
And thus we return to the same argument, as mentioned in my article on the year 1058 A. D.. which I cite at the beginning of this reply.
INDEED IT IS COMMON SENSE, that if an electorate which has a right for all its members, is restricted, there arises immediately the necessity of an emergency measure to guarantee a valid election, since, when the electorate is not so restricted, a valid election can simply be had by that part of the electorate which did not participate in the illegal act. — For this reason, the fact that Pius XII and John Paul II restricted the electorate to Cardinals, causes the necessity of recourse to an emergency principle in extraordinary cases. This is even more COGENT in the case of electing illegally or invalidly a Pope, since by such an election all those Electors who participate adhere to this man, who is not the pope in Christ’s eyes, as if he is the pope, and therefore become SCHISMATICS in the most formal way possible, since that act separates them from communion with Christ’s true Vicar. And since Schismatics lose all right to vote in all ecclesiastical elections, they cannot repair the act, only those not involved in that criminal act can legitimately act. Thus, if all the Cardinals sin in such a crime, then there are juridically speaking, no more Cardinal electors who can vote. And this sin of schism is what Pope Nicholas II says occurs in n. 4 of his Bull, for the antipope and all his supporters. Thus, if one should argue that Nicholas II in writing, “the Cardinal Bishops, with the religious clergy and the catholic laity, though few” requires any specific class, such as at least one Bishop, or one cleric, even when all Bishops and cleric publicly adhere to the antipope or refuse to vote, then such an argument would run counter to the whole purpose of the emergency rule; by means of an arbitrary imposition of another restrition: a reading which the order of the Latin words confutes, since the “licet paucis” (agreeing with clericis and laicis, NOT with Cardinales) is placed after “catholic laity” not before “cardinal bishops” (in the from pauci, “a few Cardinal Bishops”) — a thing, which is otherwise grammatically possible if you want to emphasize that the election requires at least a few Cardinal Bishops. For the record, the election of Pope Nicholas II was done by two cardinal Bishops one Cardinal Deacon, and we know not whether or if there were religious clergy or catholic laity. But we do know there were two other Cardinal Bishops who refused the election of Benedict X but who did not go to Siena and elect Nicholas II. So we can presume there were many other cardinal clergy of lesser orders not present. But we do know that at least 3 persons were present to vote for Nicholas II, and this is what “licet pauci” requires, but NOT a few Cardinal Bishops, since there was only two, NOR a few catholic clergy (if this category does not include Cardinals), NOR a few catholic laity.
However, your Questions presuppose another problem, which is that today, we live in such a corrupt society, that Catholics do not consider as important the juridical validity of an institution. Indeed, we see this in the post-conciliar era, where even Sedevacantists normally only consider the sacramental continuity of the Church, not the juridical continuity. However, if the Church is to continue forever She must have immunity from failing sacramentally and from failing juridically. She must have both continuities. This is what Saint Hildebrand was so sensitive to in the year 1058, even though the antipope Benedict X was validly consecrated a Bishop, validly nominated a Cardinal, and professed the whole and entire Catholic Faith. Indeed, Nicholas II in his bull calls the action of illegally electing a pope a sign of “simonaical heresy”, that is a denial of the Catholic Faith regarding treating the election of the Papacy: a heresy which regards it as a merely temporal right which could be bought and sold. Most Catholics do not think of ecclesial elections with this high regard for juridical correctness, however, precisely because we live in an age of such corruption in the Church, that unless you look to the Saints of Old, you have not the light to see it. And certainly crooks involved in crime and their allies will never admit it. That is why Catholics must imitate the Saints and cite their example to contradict the crooks of our age.
The Church of Vatican II has claimed juridical continuity and sacramental continuity. But the Bishops in union with Leo XIV can no longer claim juridical continuity. Now Catholics have the right to chose between two entities: one with juridical continuity and one without it. Each has its own pope. The choice is yours to make, as I explained to Italians in this page:
https://www.chiesaromana.info/2025/05/23/appello-a-tutti-i-cattolici-della-chiesa-romana/
And, fine, I will leave out this crumb, to spark further interest: that the new Pope told me that he will restore the Sacraments to their pre Vatican II forms, since he regards the aggiornamento to run counter to the will of the Holy Spirit and in contravention to the anathemas of the Second Council of Nicea and Trent.
Well stated. I finally more deeply understand.
Thank you for the thorough response. That is in fact why I asked the question, though perhaps poorly worded regarding an “alternate” electorate. I believe I read the Bull as you had explained, where the electors needed not be limited to Cardinals, so what I meant by “alternate” was “as an alternative to the usual electorate consisting only of Cardinals”. Thank you again.
Wow. So you know I am a techie. I look up the date the domain was first registered in relationship to church history and learn it was purchased the same day these things happened in recent history:
A notable historical event involving a Pope that occurred on July 8 was in 2013, when Pope Francis made his first trip outside of Rome to the Italian island of Lampedusa.
The purpose of this trip was to draw global attention to the plight of migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea and the many lives lost during the perilous journey. This visit was a significant moment early in his pontificate, setting a precedent for his focus on humanitarian issues and marginalized communities.
On July 8, 2025, the newly elected Pope Leo XIV was taking a break from public appearances, having arrived at the papal summer residence in Castel Gandolfo two days earlier, resuming a tradition that Pope Francis had forgone.
Also on July 8, 2025, it was reported that a new “Mass for the Care of Creation” (officially introduced by a decree dated June 8) was presented by the Dicastery for Divine Worship, an initiative inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’ and approved by Pope Leo XIV. 🫨
I need to digest this. I don’t know much about the history of new Masses so I wonder if this was the only one that feels in perfect step with the modern WORLD.
I digress but a few other interesting things happened on this day in history:
July 8 is associated with several historical Catholic events, including the solemn transfer of relics of a significant Irish saint:
752 AD: Translation of Saint Kilian’s Relics The relics of Saint Kilian, an Irish missionary bishop and the “Apostle of Franconia,” and his companions, Colman and Totnan, were solemnly transferred to the newly finished Cathedral of the Saviour in Würzburg, Germany, probably on July 8 of this year. This event, approved by Pope Zachary, marked the public veneration of the martyrs and solidified their importance in the region. Their feast day is still celebrated on this date.
1846 AD: Death of Abbé Paul Macpherson in Rome Abbé Paul Macpherson, a significant figure who served as the first Scottish rector of the Scotch College in Rome and managed to keep the institution alive during the Napoleonic era, died on this day. He had also been imprisoned in France for attempting to rescue Pope Pius VI.
1838 AD: Catholic Missionaries Arrive in Vancouver Catholic missionaries François Norbert Blanchet and Rev. Modeste Demers arrived in Vancouver after a continent-wide journey to establish churches in Canada and the Oregon territory.
1926 AD: Father Miguel Pro Returns to Mexico On July 8, 1926, Father Miguel Pro, a Jesuit priest, arrived in Veracruz, Mexico, during a period of intense anti-Catholic persecution under President Plutarco Elías Calles. He went “underground” to serve the Catholic community clandestinely, frequently celebrating Mass at great personal risk before his eventual execution in November 1927.
—
God bless and protect everyone.
Well, yes, on July 7, 2025, I registered SedesApostolica.org, because I knew that the new pope would need a website and as President of Ordo Militaris Inc., I intended to gift him a domain name which would be the best possible name without any legal problems. So with my knowledge of Latin and having taken note that the Vatican City State uses “the Holy See” in official documents, not “the Apostolic See”, I found that no one had registered the name SedesApostolica.org .info .net and .org. I did not think of the date. But as for you seeing it registered on July 8 is probably due to time zone differences.
Sedes Apostolica is Latin for, “the Apostolic See”. And the site which will go online initially is the .info, since its purpose is simply to inform. It is not actually the internet-nexus of a sovereign state or legal entity nor of an organization. And the domains currently belong to Ordo Militaris Inc., though that will probably change as soon as, and if the Holy Father establishes a legal entity through which to act and represent himself.
What a great leap of faith to find this domain.
Sometimes I wonder how I was so blessed to be privy to your blog and now the biggest possible news, ever, after such an extended terrible time in Church history.
God bless your good work, Brother!
Thank you.
Thank you. Knowing Latin is powerful. Now that the Vatican has officially dumped Latin, you can be sure the new Pope will need Latinists.
All fired Vatican Latinists can contact me.
Yes. The absurdity of firing the most vocal, well-read and passionate Latin (history) buffs within the Church–just as the C-19 fiasco inspired clergy and bishops to ignore, lock out and mistreat ordinary concerned parishioners and clergy (even those attending or holding the new Mass)–remains too bizarre and concerning to overlook.
I sure do wish you could keep your blog going. But I respect what must be done now.
Brother
If he is indeed the true pope will he consecrate Russia to the immaculate heart of Mary as one of his first actions?? The world needs help desperately. So many souls are being lost.
Yes.
Fr. Gruner used to say that to fulfill Our Lady’s request that all the bishops participate, the pope could command them all to do so, and any who refused could be removed from office before it was done. That way it wouldn’t be necessary to wait until all of them agreed.
I hope it will be done as She requested.
And the other part of Her request that isn’t mentioned as much is that he promote the Five First Saturdays devotion.
If I’m not mistaken, Her request that the Third Secret be announced was not required to affect the conversion of Russia and the period of peace that would follow. If I do recall correctly, that would seem to suggest that any pope who for circumstances beyond his control could not access it, could grant Her requests anyway.
I have to say that I do not know what Our Lady actually said about the conditions necessary. Juridically, I do not think “all the bishops” means all the bishops, but rather all the bishops in communion with the true pope.
Yes, now I remember. Canon Hesse’s criticism of Canon 375 is slightly exaggerated, since that canon does not say that Bishops by their sacramental consecration receive jurisdiction, only that they receive the munus to govern. Here the canon is obviously referring to the fontal grace which makes them capable to govern, and in fact the same canon specifies that that they cannot exercise this munus without hierarchical communion and subject to the Roman Pontiff. Here we return again to the misunderstanding of the terminology of the Code, which distinguishes between munus, dignitas, officium and ministerium. But he is correct in saying, “in their own cathedral” signifies only Bishops with jurisdiction, not even Cardinals with simply titular churches. However, as I said in my previous comment, if there are no such bishops, then the legal requirement is nevertheless fulfilled, because by granting the fulfilment of the Consecration to such a Pope would be the most powerful Heavenly rebuke to the schismatic bishops following an antipope and be a sign for them to repent, which is what the entire Gospel is about.
Going back many years I said that Benedict could unilaterally make the consecration as no bishop was in union with him. Our Lady says that the pope in union with the bishops, if there are no bishops in union with him does not negate the act. It is rather interesting that Our Lady would mention the bishops, almost as if She was aware of our current situation.
Yes it is. I hold, in fact, since the acceptance of a true Pope ignored by 99.99% of the hierarchy presents a situation which requires Divine Intervention, that such a pope consecrating Russia, even with only a few bishops in union with him, would juridically fulfill the requirement, and the conversion of Russia which would result would prove to the world that he is the true pope, in addition to achieving all the other goals Our Lady said God intended thereby. In fact, holding to a fake bishop rather than to a true one, because you are lawless or confused by propaganda, is this not the chief error of Russia in the Church today?
Yes. Our Lady said the *errors* -plural – of Russia. Not only Communism, as most admit, but perhaps also schism.
I first saw this fact elaborated on in the 1950s publication ‘The Point’, from the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
So to confirm, if I may. This true pope shall consecrate Russia exactly as intended and requested, with all of his true bishops present. It is then that Russia shall immediately convert and become Catholic and the whole world shall witness this without any shadow of a doubt. Russia’s government, leaders and its people shall convert immediately after this consecration and shall openly express allegiance to this true pope and the Catholic faith. Am I correct in assuming this is what you are saying?
No, that is not what I am saying, Stevie.
My name is not Stevie. My name is Theodore. Through habit in life it is often shortened to Theo.
Thank you for your response. Can you please clarify then what shall happen without doubt once this true pope consecrates Russia to the Immaculate Heart? What shall we and the world certainly see right afterward?
How should I know? I am not God.
This is The Fatima Centre’s page on what might be meant by ‘all the bishops of the world’, which are Our Lady’s words according to Sr. Lucia.
It’s long so just scroll down to “The phrase ‘all the bishops’ must be explained too: According to the Code of Canon Law (1983)…”

Breathtaking moment in salvation history! I have been living in fear and trembling since writing to my bishop last summer. I will pray and wait and listen. May this Advent and Christmas draw us closer to Jesus Christ, his holy Church, and his apostolic successor. Peace be with you. Be not afraid.

Reject, renounce, denounce Satan, the Father of Lies and Murderer from the Beginning.
Do not volunteer to be volunteered to be a victim of demoncracy.
Jesus is The[(o)-God] Lawd.
The Consecration will be done late, but it will be done.
Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth – Demoncracy damned and banned as in Heaven – Peace to Men of Good Will.
Brother, do you know who all the candidates were? (and, furthermore, would you care to prognosticate?🤓)
I was at the election, so yes. No, I do not have the liberty to say more at this time.
The Historic Back ground :
Our Lady’s visitation at Fatima occurred several times between May 13, 1917 to October 13, 1917. Which asked for the Conversion of Russia.
The Russian Revolution took place between March 8 to June 13,1917. When the Atheist Jews over through the Russian Orthodox Government of Czar Nicholas III Romanov. Establishing an Atheist Jewish dominated Government, who’s leader was Vladimir Lenin ( a Georgian Jew).
The Romanov dynasty never married a Catholic Princess (ie from Poland, Lithuania, Ruthenia or the Ukraine) but Lutherans (Anti-Catholic) from Northern Germany going back to 1690. The Russian Orthodox was the most vedemently Anti-Catholic.They may be Christian, but not communion with the Pope in Rome.
The Athesist Jews murdered the entire Family of Czar Nicholas III Romanov on July 16,1918 (ethnic cleaning). The same they are doing today in Gaza.
Our Lady’s vision at Fatima may have nothing to due with the Marxist Revolution in Russia.. As stated above the Russian Orthodox church was not walking in footsteps of Saint Peter.\
But may be a call for The Russian Empire to convert to Catholism rather than Russian Orthodoxy.
The Russian Revolution was the wake call to Western Catholics to pray for the conversion of Russia to see the true secessor of Saint Peter and not the false Pretenders as Saint Luke pointed out in Chapter 21 from Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Russia to this day is run by these same Atheist mass murdering Jews and their allied in the West. Just look at the War between the Ukraine and The SOVIET UNION.
Dear Brother, I have only today read this wonderful news. For many, many months, I have amended my morning offering thus:
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer Thee my prayers, works, joys and suffering of this day for all the intentions of Thy Sacred Heart, in union with the “worthy” holy sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world today, in thanksgiving for your favours, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my relatives and friends, and in particular for the (ommit : the intentions of the Holy Father) add: election of a True Holy Catholic Pope and for the triumph of Holy Mother Church over her enemies.
And now I can revert to praying at the end “and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father”.
But Brother, I will attend the Latin Mass (SSPX) tomorrow with my family. They (the SSPX) are in union with antipope Leo XIV. What must I do? I am guessing that I should attend but not receive communion?
What a horrible situation. What can we do? Do you have any advice regarding this?
They think he is the pope most likely because they did not do their due diligence. Objectively what they are doing is not right and based on negligence, but whether they are sinning or not, God alone perhaps knows. Start by sharing the article
https://www.fromrome.info/2025/06/25/a-canonical-analysis-of-why-the-conclave-of-may-2025-had-no-valid-result/
Which you can print out, put in an envelope, and pass it to the priest before or after mass, saying, Father, I believe you are an honest man with good will, so I am sharing this article with you.
I am not a priest entrusted with your pastoral care, so I do not have the grace to guide your conscience. The chief question is whether the Laity sin when they need the sacrament and only have such a priest. Saint Alphonsus says it is probable that they do not. That is the only source of information I have. This is found in his Theologia Moralis, on whether it be licit to receive the Sacraments from unworthy ministers.
https://www.fromrome.info/2020/03/11/saint-alpnonsus-when-it-is-morally-licit-to-receive-the-sacraments-from-unworthy-ministers/
But there is a more important question, and this has to do with justice and avoiding rash judgement. A man is not schismatic if he does not intend schism. This rule protects both Archbishop Lefebfre, Sedevacantist etc. Clergy as well as all other clergy who name Leo XIV as the pope, who do not know his election was invalid. Nor is a man a schismatic if out of fear he does what a schismatic does, like not name the Pope, the patriarch or his bishop during the canon. Nevertheless when he knows he does what he should not at mass, the sin is his not those who attend. This is the doctrine of Saint Theresa of Avila, who says that it is a delusion of the devil that laity should judge a priest on his rubrics. So we must clearly distinguish between the moral act of attending mass out of need for the sacraments or to preserve a marriage or to attend a family event, and serving the mass as a priest, deacon, acolyte with a priest who is a public sinner. Even Saint Francis affirmed in the most public events by kissing the hands of priests who lived in sin with women, saying that they are still priests and we can without sin receive the sacraments from them.
The doctrine spread by many that you must become so superscrupulous so as to avoid all clergy has never been taught by the Saints. Even Saint Alphonsus says in distant places it is probably licit in the moral sense to receive all of the Sacraments from schismatic clergy. As for heretical clergy, the rule is different since heresy is more dangerous than disobedience in rubrics or naming the wrong pope. As a personal rule, I never attend the Mass of any priest or bishop who is a notorious manifest formal heretic, even if he is not condemned. For example, during all the years of Bergoglio or Prevost, I have never attended Mass or received the Sacraments from them, at their masses or from priests who preached their errors, I simply avoid them, or walk out. I do this regardless of the language or ritual.
We must hold to these Catholic truths, which distinguish cult leaders from Catholic pastors, who want to promote the salvation of souls and not impose un-liveable rules, since the Sacraments are necessary for salvation. This is why even in the code of 1917 of Canon Law, it does NOT say that public heretics lose their offices immediately, even though they are automatically excommunciated, but rather it says that they need to be deprived of office, munus and dignity, and that can only be done by public judgement of prelate with the authority to do it. This is how to distinguish traditionalist clergy who do not have good will and those who do, because those with bad will want you do believe things even the Code of 1917 does not impose, even though these clergy have no jurisdiction and no authority to make more stricter laws or require the faithful to observe stricter norms.
Thank you so much, Brother Alexis, for your comprehensive reply which is most helpful for all of us. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your faith and your excellent leadership. You are a an honour to the Franciscan Order and a great treasure to our Holy Church! May God bless you and our new pope. Viva il Papa!
In addition to the election taking place on the Solemnity of Christ the King on the new calendar, it was also the Feast of St. Clement of Rome, who was ordained by St. Peter and was his successor. St. Clement is also considered the first of the Apostolic Fathers.

Oh, wow, never thought of that. The Third ever apostolic election, after Linus and Cletus.
