The other day I decried Cardinal Raymond Burke for the outrageous mendacity and fraud in his recent Letter to the Faithful about the 100th anniversary of the apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, on Dec. 10, 1925, because that letter called for Catholics to pray for the pope, who is going to be persecuted.

Yet, Cardinal Burke has in hand not only the copy of the Sutri Initiative, which he never acted upon, but the Open Letter to a Cardinal about the invalidity of the recent Conclave of May, 2025.

So by his evil and deliberate silence he is continuing to gaslight Catholics into joining him in his criminal fraud.

This is an example where being silent is a mortal sin which merits damnation with 100000000% certainty. So for all his lace and rubrics, Cardinal Burke has chosen to serve the Father of Lies and drag souls down to Hell, in the service of the antipope Leo XIV who is a manifest formal heretic teaching lies as truths on a daily basis, with words and actions.

But there is another diabolic sin, which is fake obedience, when one obeys a man who is not one’s superior as if he is one’s superior. This fake obedience becomes more evil, when the office claimed by the superior is an office in the Church. And it becomes even more diabolic, when it is an office created directly by the Living God, Jesus Christ, when He said, to Saint Peter, “I give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven”, for such false obedience leads souls into the Inferno, since the false superior has not the Keys of the Kingdom of Christ, but deceives with the works of the keys of Darkness and Deceit.

The insistence on “obeying Vatican II” has come to this: the demand and expectation and silence in the service of the lie, the crime and the violation of papal laws about who is and who is not the pope.

So the next time a fellow Catholic says, “I am a good Catholic and I don’t want anything to do with sedevacantism, in denying Leo XIV is the pope”, it is certainly the right moment to speak about the difference between true obedience and fake obedience. And then ask them to read the Papal Law of Pope John Paul II, Universi Dominici Gregis, paragraphs 4. 33, 68, and 76. And if they refuse, then make it quite clear to them what kind of obedience they are actually practicing and what kingdom they are descending into.

Qui autem facit veritatem,
venit ad lucem,
ut manifestentur opera ejus,
quia in Deo sunt facta. (John 3:21)

An Editorial by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

I am old enough to remember being taught the Catechism by nuns wearing a habit. In those days you also learned that Catholics had to keep the five “Precepts of the Church”. Indeed, every Catholic knew that all the laws of the Church were obligatory. You were a bad Catholic if you did not think so. — These 5 precepts as cited in the Catechism of Saint Pius X are the same 5 Precepts found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church published by Pope John Paul II.

However, we are alive at a time in the history of the Church when 99% of Catholics have apostatized from the observance of ecclesiastical law. And believe, rather, that they can do as they like. Popularly, these “Catholics” are called in recent decades “Cafeteria Catholics”. And many Catholics who call themselves “traditionalists” — even though at Vatican I “traditionalism” was condemned as an error against the Catholic Faith — often write articles lambasting these “cafeteria Catholics”.

But the hard truth is, that this category of bad Catholics includes a lot more than just nominal Catholics, who were baptized but do not live according to the faith, hope and charity which was entrusted to them in that sacred sacramental ritual.

It also includes, Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, Priests, Deacons, Seminarians, Religious, consecrated persons, Hermits, Virgins and laypeople, married and unmarried.

But if there is one event in history by which the worst of these is known, it most certainly is found when there is an unlawful, invalid or juridically null election of a man as the pope, who thus as anti-pope claims to be the Roman Pontiff without a just legal claim. Because for the cafeteria Catholic, such a pope is no problem at all, especially since he was elected by cafeteria Cardinals like himself.

Cardinal Prevost, therefore, is not really the example of a moral anomaly in the Catholic Church right now. Rather, he is the manifestation of the epidemic of “pick-and-choose” “Catholicism”, which leads always to damnation and moral self-destruction.

And to make it clear that the cafeteria Catholic is not just a phenomenon found among Catholics who “follow” Vatican II, I can just cite a few examples:

1. Sedevacantists, who insist there have not been popes since 1958, and who claim to accept the Code of Canon Law of 1917, but have never organized a lawful election of a true Pope, because for them it is sufficient to claim you are a Catholic, you not need actually observe the 5th Precept of the Church, which is to support the Church and Her clergy in times of need.
2. Traditionalist Bishops, who insist that only the code of canon law of 1917 is enforce, since Pope John Paul II was a heretic or infected by Vatican II at least from the time he published the 1983 Code, but recognize that papal elections according to the 1996 law he published can still be valid. — These Traditionalist Bishops name Leo XIV in the Canon, but hold that he is a heretic.
3. Vatican II clergy, who insist that Vatican II is a norm for Church renewal, which therefore must be implemented, accepted and obeyed, but totally ignore Canon 332 or Universi Dominic Gregis nn. 4 and 33.

If a lay Catholic decides to skip going to Mass on a Holy Day of Obligation, he is readily recognized by fellow Catholics to not be doing even the bare minimum. But why, I ask you, do we ever consider the above persons just enumerated in nn. 1-3, paragons of the Faith, touchstones of righteousness, rather than the profligate frauds, charlatans, grifters and criminals that they are?

For all these “Pope Leo XIV” is a sign of affirmation, because working as they do the works of mendacity, they do not want to come into the light, lest their works be manifested, because their works are not done in God.

But for all those Catholics who recognize that Prevost is not the pope because his election runs against two papal laws, one from 1996 and one from 1559: if they keep the 5 Precepts of the Church in addition, why does nearly no one on Catholic social media  praise them for being “good Catholics”?

And if you are of this latter group, then what kind of Catholic is running the “Catholic” website you visit for news and information, if he is not praising this group for being good Catholics?

This is a sincere question, and you have the right to ask it.

On the other hand, he who works in the truth,
comes into the light,
so that his works might be made manifest,
because they were done in God
(John 3:32, in the Vulgate)

In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about Globalism and the Globalists, and their system of control, which is popularly called, “the Matrix”.

And for more than a thousand years, in the Catholic Church, our Saints, Popes and Bishops have spoken about demonic possession, as one of the most degraded and dangerous spiritual afflictions possible.

The Saints say that there is not a vast different between being content to live in mortal sins and being in the possession of Satan. The former is constituted when a man freely and resolutely decides to embrace grave immorality or perversity and make it his way of life. The latter is the end result of choosing never to disagree or act contrary to the wishes of that ancient and chief Enemy of God.

And, let me be clear: in this world, one can certainly live in the worst of sins without being possessed by Lucifer or one or more of his crew. And one can live, committing mortal sins of only one specific kind of immorality, without a dedication to all forms of depravity.

In Sacred Scripture and in the homilies and writings of the Saints we even group such sinners according to their principle vice: drunkards, adulterers, the avaricious, the jealous, the impure, the wanton, homicides and murderers, liars and fraudsters, criminals and sexual perverts.

The mere fact that they dedicate themselves to a certain sin, does not mean that in other areas they might be aligned with honorable, honest and otherwise outstanding moral virtue, though not out a supernatural motivation, because they never forsake their principal sin or vice.

Hardened conviction to a particular sin even has a parallel in modern psychology, which calls such persons sociopaths: individuals who do not believe that one specific form of morality is obligatory for them, even though they might embrace the rest of the moral law and be otherwise highly ethical persons.

The Matrix, however, is not a preternatural or demonic system of control, of itself. It is merely a coordinated world-wide, trans-generational effort to govern the masses with elaborately constructed lies and systems of information manipulation. It’s a human artifact produced by fallen human motives, where the will to power and consequently to control is placed above all other criteria of truth, goodness, and justice.

However, from the individual’s point of view, what differences are there between being plugged into the Globalist Matrix and being possessed by a demon?

Both individuals only follow the commands of the wicked, only believe the voices of the wicked, never rebel against the wicked, and are totally psychologically in the power of the wicked. Even when they know that what is being asked of them is evil or wrong, or even when they recognize that what they are being told about the past, present or future, is improbably true or obviously false.

In the end — no matter what –they only do what the wicked tell them: and it is as if they do not have eyes or ears, feet or hands for anything else.

Our Lord Jesus Christ connected both of these groups, those who live in the Matrix and those who belong to Satan, when He complained bitterly about those who see miracles and do not believe, and called them, the children of Satan.

HOW THIS IS ALL PLAYING OUT IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN RECENT YEARS

Today in the summer of 2025, and indeed since March of 2013, in the Catholic Church there have been obvious and grave juridical problems at the very summit of the visible hierarchy of the Church at the Vatican.  Those of us who have, by fidelity to the truth and consistent searching for the truth, have unplugged ourselves from the Big Lies, know how many hard decisions we had to make to recognize we were being lied to, and to recognize that the liars pushing these lies are addicted to mendacity for reasons much more grave than merely ignorance.

If we feel that the truth cannot win out, or that our actions in fidelity to the truth will have no effect, we need to recognize that even this sentiment of ours is a visible sign that we are still under the influence of the Matrix, despite our verbal protestations to the contrary, because the chief malign influence of the Globalist Matrix is to enervate the action of the masses. It does not matter so much to the Globalists that the people know they are being lied to: what matters most is that they don’t do anything effective against the lies.

The same thing goes on in the Church. Which is why the Mafia of St. Gallen has so many assets which are deployed to spread disinformation, misinformation or malinformation about themselves or against their enemies. The Vatican under their control calls this “message diffusions”, and in the recent publicized Vatican budget we even know what it cost them last year, 7.6 million euro.

REAL CHRISTIANITY

Salvation is not possible if we live in sin and embrace sin. Salvation is not possible in such a life, because salvation means, first of all, passing from the kingdom of Satan to the Kingdom of God. This is not just a passage in which our lips participate. It requires rejecting all sin, all vice, all dishonesty.

It begins with Faith in God, which requires not only that we stop listening to the voices of those under the power of Satan, even when at times they speak the truth — as Christ taught us, when he forbade the demons to give testimony about Himself — but that we repent of living in sin and start listening to God and obeying His commandments.

This passage from death to life also requires in our age that we unplug from the Matrix and stop acting as if their lies are true. It requires rejecting being inert and passive to what the Enemies of Christ are doing in this world, and start telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And in practice, it requires most of all, that we stop trusting the voices of the Matrix are telling us the truth, and put all their claims under examination.

Catholics who refuse to do this, are not living their faith in Christ, and are not credible witnesses of what it means to be a Catholic. But even less credible witnesses are those whose business model or job requires a paycheck from Globalists, such as are all the main stream accepted Catholic journalists who are addicted to living in the Big Lies of our age.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER

In the last week, we have seen one of these morally incompetent men praised as a living martyr and saint simply because of a disagreement among those who live in the Matrix. His “persecutors” wanted him to stop exposing the system of control, even though he was much more violent against true Catholics when they attempted to unplug from the Matrix, than he ever was about the voices of the Matrix. I was amazed how unified these voices were: even those who called each other “crazy”, “looney”, “nutty”, put away all their differences and joined in the laud-fest.*

Don’t be fooled. Your emotions and ignorance were being played by all the actors who love to be plugged into the Matrix. By their unanimity in the propaganda last week, I hope you can begin to see who are the voices of the Matrix, and why it is not simply ignorance which causes them to refuse to speak the whole truth and nothing but the truth. — By constantly telling you half-truths and ignoring the Big Lies, they keep you plugged into the Matrix in return for your support. And that is a form of demonic possession: the ownership and control of your heart, mind and soul, under the power of lies.

** However, there is one prejudice that all of these voices have: they will never permit even comments which cite articles at FromRome.Info. That seems to be a very strong ideological position with them all.

I am not a doctor of medicine nor a doctor of psychiatry. But I think I can still recognize when I am speaking with a fellow Catholic who is brain dead. And alas, it seems to be a pandemic disorder in the Church today, just as it was in the Holy Land in the days of Christ.

Recall how often in the Gospels, Christ Jesus rebukes His contemporaries, by saying, “Let him who has eyes to see, see”.?  Why did He say that so often?

Because to believe in Jesus in 30 A. D., was to be called a heretic and cast out of the Synagogue.

And  we know that Jesus had something like 500 disciples in all of the Holy Land. But historians tell us that there were about 1 million Jews living in that land in those days.

That means that 1/20th of 1 percent of all Jews believed in Jesus. Even after Pentecost, only 5 thousand believed. And that was was only 1/2 of 1 percent of all Jews.

Think about that for a minute.

Christ Jesus raised 3 people from the dead, fed 15+ thousand people and healed everyone who asked Him for healing, like the entire town of Capharnum.

Miracles, which caused His Name to be known in all of the Roman Province of Syria, according to Josephus Flavius, the Jewish Historian.

But only 1/20th of 1 percent believed in Him, and when it came to Good Friday, that was barely 5 people, or 1/100th of 1/20th of 1 percent.

But all of those who stood with Our Lord on Calvary, we know were saved and are in Heaven. Even the Centurion and Good Thief made it!

But 99.995% of the Jews who heard Jesus preach in person and work miracles, did not believe in Him. They wanted a King to deliver them from the Romans, not the Son of God to save them from Hell. In other words, they preferred political liberty with eternal damnation, to eternal salvation.

For most of my life I could scarcely understand how hard-hearted and brain-dead the Jews of old were. But since the Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, I have begun to understand it.

The power of the desire to prefer to be accepted by your peers and by the elites who rule the world in your day, is the predominant force for thought-control in 99.995% of people.

But the Jewish people of Old did not have grace. So if Catholics who actually want to know the truth, about who is the true pope or not, are just as few, that means that most Catholics are living in mortal sin and are enemies of God.

When I say, that I have learned to recognize a “brain-dead” Catholic, I am obviously using a metaphor, for spiritually dead. But if I said “spiritually dead”, I would surely be attacked by someone who was “brain-dead”, metaphorically, because speaking the truth is the only thing really offensive left.

I know dozens of traditionalists, priests, bishops and religious, who would prefer to eat lunch with a Jew, than eat lunch with someone who said the truth about Benedict XVI remaining the Pope until death. And that should shock everyone, even the “brain-dead”.

But I do not know of but 2 priests personally and a few Catholics, who would sit down with someone who held that Cardinal Prevost is a heretic and antipope, rather than sit down with a Muslim who believes all Catholics should have their heads cut off.

This is the result of being “brain-dead”. It is a metaphor, in the way I use it, but it’s much worse than being dead.

In fact, since Pope Boniface VIII infallibly taught, in his Bull, Unam Sanctam, that you cannot be saved unless you submit to the TRUE Roman Pontiff, these “brain dead” Catholics are truly reckless, believing that so long as they show obedience to anyone pretending to be the pope, that they are fulfilling this most grave duty.

And only a corpse would be so stupid….

This is why the Saints say, that on the Last Day, God will raise up the Faithful with immortally living and perfect bodies, but the wicked with immortally dead and grotesque bodies, to show, just what kind of life they lived before death, when they could have changed, but refused.

An Editorial by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Here, above, in the linked image, is a fine example of about the only mainstream “Catholic” “resistance” to the illegal installation of the heretic Robert Prevost in the Vatican as Leo XIV. — Father Nix once again expresses the Catholic sentiment.

However, the Faith does not end in sentiments. Yes, holy zeal which is the true first born of a living Faith, urges us with such sentiments to never succumb and to stand firm in the Faith.

But Holy Zeal is not satisfied with mere resistance.

And in this, we can see what is fundamentally wrong with “Trad Inc.”‘s approach to the problems in the Church since March 13, 2013.  They only can muster sentiments, but sentiments devoid of the motive of Holy Zeal. Sentiments which end in virtue signalling, without any action.

In fact, if in a comment or email you suggest to any of the members of Trad Inc. that we should take action, they will immediately erase your email and consign you and your suggestion into a pit worse than the heretics they recognize their “superiors” to be.

And in this we can see that they DO NOT have holy zeal. Rather, they are virtue signalling to keep the grift going, to keep people listening to them, which results in nothing more than complacency and sloth.

For 13 years they have been doing this, and the most “virtuous” among them can only muster a petition now or then, so long as the petition collects emails, address or money, to keep their appeals going, appeals for your support, without any regard for solutions.

Father Nix’s article above does well to point out one of the psychological game used to drive Catholics to despair, but it is half-hearted, like those writers who will say, “Pope Leo is a heretic”, but insist on calling him the pope.  They are willing to say anything against the man EXCEPT question his legitimacy to claim the office.

All of this seems to be nothing other than a long game played by experts in psychological warfare. And maybe for some of them it is. But for most of them it is cowardice, because they not only DO NOT want to know the truth, but they DO NOT even want to know how to win against their enemies!

It is as if, winning is the worst possible sin for these “conservatives”!

This is what I call the “Catholicism” of victim-hood. A religion perfect to guarantee millions of future victims of a pedophile cult or a satanic conspiracy.

And this is why they will always talk about Catholics who lost, such as the Carlists, the Vendee or the Cristeros. But, in their twisted minds, “God forbid, you mention the Crusades!” or Reconquista!

True Catholics do not act this way, because if they did not have parents or grandparents to give the the proper example of how to fight for righteousness, they know to seek these examples in the Saints and Martyrs of old. That is why here from Rome, I share with my readers my quests into the laws of the Church to understand better not only our own rights to resist, but how to use the laws of the Church against the enemies of Christ.

The Save Rome Project, thus, is something outside of the limits of their self imposed psychological no-go zones, because it is based on the truth, they hate, on the laws, they ignore, and on the virtues they despise.

So do not fret if they ignore you when you share this action item with them, but be more zealous yourself in supporting it. If you actually believe in Jesus Christ, that won’t be a problem.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (Gospel of Saint John, 4:6).

We have probably heard these words hundreds of times, if we were born before the end of the Second Vatican Council.  But I cannot say that I have heard any priest preach them in recent memory.

And this is no coincidence, because if we are content with being part of a church which preaches and lives lies, we are already in the Church which worships Satan, which has left aside the Way, which has denied the Truth, and which has chosen death rather than the Life.

There is a spiritual reason, therefore, for why despite Prevost’s public profession before and after, of his loyalty to the daily liar and blasphemer, which was Jorge Mario Bergoglio, nearly all Catholics, liberals to sedevacantists, traditionalists and conservatives, have fallen silent, accepting “Leo” as their head and pastor.

So many are so deceived. So many prefer being deceived. So many, so eloquently with their silence, have manifested their eternal devotion to the Lie.
