Signs of being “Brain Dead”, metaphorically speaking

17 Comments

Editorial by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

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.

Anti-Faith: Sentiment of Resistance, without the Hope of Victory

5 Comments

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.

Are Catholics required to accept Cardinal Prevost as Leo XIV?

10 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo:  English Language Transcript

Traduzione Italiana

Five years ago, I wrote to a Cardinal about the invalidity of the election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, in the Conclave of 2013, and he wrote me back, claiming that as Catholics we must presume the election was valid and that Pope Francis had received the papal office from Christ. I responded to the Cardinal, here, in this open letter, “Dialogue with a Cardinal who refused to dialogue“, published on January 23, 2020, a copy of which I mailed directly to him.

Since the issue is timely, I will reformulate his question for present circumstances, and give my reply:

Must a Catholic presume Pope Leo XIV is a validly elected pope,
who actually holds the papal office?

No, because:

Firstly, because, that a man is the pope is not a presumption of fact, but the conclusion of law.

For example, he is not the pope, whom the Cardinals say is the pope, rather, he is the pope who was validly elected by the Cardinals according to the norm of the Papal Law of John Paul II, Universi Dominici Gregis.

To say the first, that is, that “he whom the Cardinals say is the pope, is the pope”, confuses the means whereby we know a canonical fact with the cause of the legitimacy of a canonical fact. They are two different things. — Yes, we know under normal circumstances who was elected by the Cardinals, from the Cardinals themselves. That is the normal channel for knowing the canonical fact of the election. But the canonical fact of the election is not the canonical validity of the election. The canonical fact is the witness that the event took place. Period. — But the legitimacy of the election is much more important. Just as the truth of any claim is more important than the fact the claim was made.

Otherwise, if anyone came to your door, knocked, and when you opened it, claimed to own your house, his mere fact of having claimed it, would make him its owner. Now just as this principle holds no matter who is at the front door, whether it be a nobody, the town clerk, the assessor’s office superintendent, the mayor, governor, etc., so also in a papal election. — Thus, the truth of the claim is based on the conformity of facts with the prescriptions of the law governing ownership. The truth of the claim is not based on the dignity of those claiming it!

So, the Catholic who can read the Papal Law and who has knowledge of the historical facts, can assess the validity of the claim of the Cardinals.  If he can do this it would be the mortal sin of sloth, if he presumed the claim was true, upon hearing a contrary claim, based on the factually demonstrated discrepancy of behavior with the requirements of the law.

So yes, an ignorant Catholic can presume that if the Cardinals say X is the Pope, that X is the pope. But a literate Catholic in the age of social media, who has access to nearly all information, can not presume, after the first moment in which he encounters any report that puts in doubt the validity of the election.

And here is the difficulty most Catholics have: They believe that they must wait for certain evidence that the Cardinals are not worthy of trust. That is, they refuse to read the law or compare the requirements of the law with the facts of what happened, BECAUSE they are waiting rather for the testimony of some Cardinal that disputes the claim of other Cardinals. And they infer from the unanimity of the Cardinals to the validity of the election, REGARDLESS of what the law says. A grievous error, which marks them with the mark of the disciples of the Antichrist, according to Saint Paul the Apostle.

I can recognize this approach, for being half Sicilian, I know how many deal  with organized crime: they simple do not admit it exists, so that they can go about their day without any worries. They might pity the victims of the Mafia, but they really don’t care about that, until one of their loved ones becomes a victim.

So the next time anyone, especially a priest, tells you to shut up or be quite or that you are a sinner or bad Catholic for NOT presuming he is a pope and/or for sharing the truth about the election so that others might be liberated from the deception, ask your interlocutor if they are preaching out of their personal presumption, born of sloth or because they have done their own investigation.

Again, no, Secondly, because if you have the responsibility to act on the basis of another’s claim, you are liable if you act on presumption alone

Every Catholic who has ever been in a position of responsibility, understands this. Because, the mere fact that you hold authority, does not exculpate you from responsibility. Nay, it increases it. This is why in all official matters of state, every government official is required to act only if the proper verifiable and verified actions or documents are communicated.

The same is true for every Catholic. For if we are to accept the Magisterium of someone claiming to be the Vicar of Jesus Christ, we would be grossly negligent and responsible for the harm to all around us, if we propagate his teachings having presumed his election was valid, and remained in our presumption, even when other Catholics have shared with us information about the possibly invalidity of his claim to the papacy.

Remember, we are not dealing here with a controversy over whether the local Ice Cream Shop uses cream or milk to make their products. We are dealing with your eternal salvation and those of all around you, who heed your advice and counsel, whether you be a parent, friend, colleague or relative. Moreso, if you be a priest, pastor, confessor or spiritual director, or ecclesiastical superior.

Thus, it is both deeply irresponsible and gravely reckless for anyone in such position to accord to a man claiming to be the Roman Pontiff the presumption that he is, as soon as anyone whomsoever says there is a problem in his election. All Catholics of all ages before our own, understood this, which is why there have been named more than 40 antipopes in history. How did they earn the moniker, “antipope”, except by the fact that some Catholics contested the validity of his claim to power?

Those who refuse to hear any such contestation, and who hold responsibility over others, are thus showing themselves to be incompetent in the execution of their duties.

And this truth is reflected in Canon 41, which holds that anyone who is required to execute an administrative order, who has not verified that the one issuing it has authority and that the act itself is legitimate, acts invalidly, that is, posits an act which he has no authority to make, usurping the rights of the one who legitimately could authorize the act and defrauding all those subjects who have the right to not be deceived in a matter regarding the claim that a superior has asked something of them.

Thus, priests especially have the duty to investigate all reasonable claims that a papal election is irregular or invalid, otherwise they are sinning gravely in the execution of their ministry. Likewise are all those who have been entrusted or who have taken up by their own volition, the dissemination of information about the Catholic Church, if they censor any discussion or reports about the irregularities in a papal election.

And in all these cases, we are not talking about a small sin, but a mortal sin, because to spread information that someone is the Pope when he is not the pope is to spiritually mislead or scandalize the faithful, and thus is a mortal sin multiplied by as many persons who might hear him say such things.

Thus, if anyone tell you not to investigate, or not to listen to such news of problems in a papal election, remind them that they are sinning gravely against justice and are attempting to violate your rights and duties under Canon 41.

And so to such persons, a parent, for example, can reply in private or in public,

“Father, as a parent, who believes and holds to the Catholic Faith, I have the grave duty, according to Canon 41, of verifying Prevost’s claim to be the pope, before I can offer him any obedience, reverence or respect as the Pope; and your attempt to dissuade me of this grave duty, is a grave sin against the charity and justice you own me and my family. Moreover, since there is objective evidence that his election was invalidated by the presence of 133 Cardinal Electors in defiance of the Papal Law on Conclaves, and that he spoke against the Catholic Faith before his election, I must hold that it is more probable that his election is invalid, because of the authority of Popes John Paul II and Paul IV, the text of whose constitutions are clear on these points, and which cannot be overturned by the interpretations of anyone, but a true Pope.”

And if a priest persist, add:

“And if you continue to abuse your position over me as a priest, I will file a charge against you for spiritual abuse.”

Prevost is Sinister

7 Comments

Editorial by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Numerous photographs show that Cardinal Bob is left-handed, though trained to write with his right hand. In Latin, the word for the left hand is the adjective for “left”, sinister.

Left-handed persons are not morally evil people, since it is just a variation of nature, though in ancient times there was a common superstition that they were in some way in league with evil. For this reason, it has long been the practice in Europe to teach children with left-hand dominance to write with their right hand.

And indeed, right handed people never even think that the direction right or left has anything to do with anything other than directions. Nor that they are superior for being so. And they are not immune from being adherents of left-wing or right-wing political organizations or ideologies, if we consider the other area of life in which generally these adjectives of direction are used.

However, seeing that Prevost thinks Pope Francis is in Heaven, and taught “magisterially”, a word he first used for Bergoglio, not Jesus Christ, this is just one more cherry on the top of the cake of signs the Divine Providence has given us, to open our eyes to this Globalist shill who is morally, theologically, politically and intellectually disoriented, that is, a sinister person, in the other sense of the Latin word.

Left-wingers and pope-splainers will read this report at FromRome.Info and say, “Look at this: this proves that FromRome.Info is published by an ignorant superstitious bigoted person”, because being Pharasees and having dedicated themselves to the Father of Lies, they have to find some excuse for their own sin, since they have no desire to remove the planks from their own eyes, lest they see the truth and be saved. — I say this in advance, so that when they begin such a dance of moral perversity, I can say, I told you so.

Cardinal Prevost accepts CCP appointed Bishop in Fuzhou

7 Comments

Editor’s Note: I would be lying to all my readers if I did not point out that the above report is 100% propaganda. For everyone knows that when Bergoglio made the deal with the CCP to allow them to appoint all Bishops — an agreement so secret that it has never been revealed even to the Chinese Cardinal Zen — he sold the 30 Million Catholics to the Marxist Government in exchange for who knows what, probably 30 pieces of silver multiplied by several million.

Indeed, it is amazing that any publication calling itself “Catholic” could even tolerate that an atheist materialistic Maoist Government could have any good will in naming Bishops to be the spiritual leaders of Catholics in China, seeing that they have persecuted Catholic clergy there from the first days of their foundation back in the 1940’s. — But this is the state of “Catholic” media. And Catholics need to assess what it means for the integrity of the information they are getting.

Imagine, what such a newspaper will be saying in ten years, if your local Bishop excommunicates everyone who wants to receive Communion on the tongue rather than in the hands?  Do you think I am dreaming? No, this is what is coming down the pike, as we say, in the United States:

In the above video, recorded only 4 weeks ago, that is, just one week after Prevost’s selection, Archbishop Bruno Forte, of Pescara, Italy, enraged that a few persons at “his” mass had insisted on receiving communion from him in the mouth, rather than in their hands, railed at the congregation before the final prayer, excoriating these Catholics in front of the entire congregation, by saying, “Who do you think you are? holier than the Pope?”, and following up with a twisted interpretation of the Last Supper, that all the Fathers of the Church would have disagreed with.

His reference to Prevost was by no means an accident. That he appeals to the example of Prevost to undermine a Catholic practice which has existed for more than a millennium is an exclamation point we should pay attention to!

This is why I continually point out the danger of hiding the truth from the Faithful, which is the consistent editorial policy of nearly all “Catholic” media, institutional and “independent”. We are not dealing with a tiny lack of ethical integrity, we are dealing with a massive break with Jesus Christ, and the Catholic Religion, which merits full the name of “apostasy”. But an apostasy which is not like the merely spiritual one in which those who are apostates destroy themselves, but an apostasy as militant as any Marxist collective at work in your country to start a revolution and exterminate the opposition.

In five or ten years, the report from the National Catholic Register will be quoted back at you by your local Bishop, to justify your own excommunication for anything Catholic, like saying the Rosary, praying to our Lady or not attending the mandatory “Save Mother Earth” spirituality sessions with Pachamama idols and consecrated earth.

Propaganda can never be tolerated, because it weaponizes those who accept it against themselves and their neighbors. That is why the failure and the control of Catholic Media are without doubt prime objectives of the Globalist Elites if they are to seize total control of the Catholic Church and weaponize it for world control.

Would that every Catholic realize this. And would that everyone reading this article think hard and emotionally unplug themselves from these fake sources and support the true media which tells you the truth about reality.

Prevost is obviously a Globalist, and probably also a Marxist. Accepting his claim to be Leo XIV is not just some small thing which makes no difference at the Mass you attend: it is the very and essential step to recruiting you into the Church of the Antichrist. And that is why such force and effort is being made by all outlets to make taking that pill of demonic possession as sweet as possible, “for your own good”, as “an act of love”, whether this pressure comes from your social peers, or depraved priests in the confessional, or Social Media influencers who have sold their souls to the popularity which only Globalist approved content providers get.

The CCP Government in China requires that Catholics practice contraception, abortion and complete submission to the agenda of the Marxist party, such as taking Covid Jabs and family planning and psychological and ideological conditioning. — So if you think Prevost is going to stop your bishops from persecuting you, I would suggest you slap yourself in the face about 10 times and think again.

If you want Leo XIV to be your pope, don’t tell me 10 years from now, that I should have warned you and urged your more strongly to support the “Save Rome” Project. That was your last hope and you ignored it.

And no, I am not exaggerating, because my Pentecost Appeal for that Project, HERE, which was directed to those who had not yet considered the danger we are all in, as of that day, was heard by two individuals, of my 800 subscribers. Yes, maybe I do not know how to convey the message as well as I should, but I beg you to listen to it again, if you are not of those two or of those 30-40 who already support this project.

Because, if you want me to be perfectly honest with 95% of you: you do not yet recognize the danger you are in and how your reluctance to do something about the danger you do see is working to your own further ruin.

Editor’s Note: Here is a link to my Editorial for the First Anniversary of Pope Benedict XVI’s passing. It has aged very, very well, even though it was written 17 months ago. — As I said there, there were two great works which yet needed to be accomplished, ripping out the bad wood and restoring the good. The first the Lord Jesus did in a descending elevator on Easter Monday of this Year of Our Lord Two-Thousand And Twenty-Five; the second is the work we need to do in the “Save Rome”  Rome project.

You are worshiping Satan when you practice Solidarity in a Lie

5 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

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.

Catholics have the right to demand the immediate Abdication of Leo XIV

9 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

The College of Cardinals has not only committed the most grave sacrilege against God, the Church, and 1.4 Billion Catholics by electing a formal manifest heretic to the Apostolic Throne, they have defamed 1.4 Billion Catholics and every Bishop, Priest, Deacon and Religious, by electing a notorious serial cover-up artist of sexual predators of boys and girls.

For this reason, EVERY CATHOLIC HAS THE RIGHT AND DUTY to immediate denounce him to their own local Bishop, on the grounds that his election is a NOTORIOUS and HORRIBLE scandal, which can only be repaired by his immediate Abdication from Office.

In virtue of canon 212, every Catholic has the right to express to his local Bishop those concerns he feels touch upon the good of the entire Church and the salvation of the Faithful.

As such, I urge you to write to your local Bishop, telling him that so long as he recognizes this perp-protector as Pope, you will not donate anything to any Diocesan organization and will boycott all his fundraisers and denounce him to the local press for supporting a cover-up artist for pedophiles. Demand, also, that your Bishop insist that Prevost abdicate immediately to remove this horrible scandal to the entire Catholic world and to all of humanity which will greatly discourage evangelization, conversion, as well as increase considerably the financial judgements in court against the Diocese, when it becomes know to Judges that the Cardinals elected a serial cover-up artists of sexual abuse cases.

You have the right. And the more of you who send such letters, the more pressure will be applied.

If you write your letter and post copies on social media, sharing with your friends, you will also defend your own reputation against having anything to do in complicity with this election of such a fiend, who deserves rather to be burnt alive at the stake than raised to the Apostolic Dignity!

I urge you also to write to every Catholic Charity in your diocese, to bring to their attention the danger of their losing supporters and fund-raising capacity, when it becomes known that the Cardinals have elected a notorious cover-up artist for sexual abusers who preyed on boys and girls, an election which, these Charities will be consenting to if they do not also join in demanding his abdication by publicly published press releases.

+ + +

Dear Readers, if you can find news articles, in your own language, about the cases of sexual abuse covered up by Prevost, please share them in your own language below, so that those who are writing such letters can include these links in their own letters to demonstrate the fact of the scandal.

Update: The Globe runs the story on the Dirt in Prevost’s record and how influencers and clergy are gaslighting the faithful.

Why with Cardinal Prevost, the Vatican has committed Financial suicide

11 Comments

A Financial & Legal Analysis by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

As readers of FromRome.Info will remember, I predicted an election of an American during my interview with Dr. Jane Ruby, last week. I made this prognostication on the basis of the imminent bankruptcy of the Vatican and the need to elect someone who would open the doors of the big Charities in the United States.

However, unwittingly, the Bergoglian Faction did elect an American, but the wrong guy.

How wrong Cardinal Prevost is was seen during the moment he came out on the Loggia of Saint Peter’s Basilica, yesterday afternoon, 22 hours ago.

I noticed immediately. Among the Cardinals visible on the balconies, there were no American Cardinals, even though the United States has some famous Cardinals.

Nor were there any Cardinals standing side by side with the newly elected man.

And all this is very very significant.

You, see, Richard Prevost has a terrible record on handling cases of sexual abuse: from serial pedophiles in the U.S.A. to a priest in Peru who liked raping nuns. And he has been involved in intricate maneuvers to protect the perps so that they can perpetrate crimes over and over with impunity.

Now if you are an American Cardinal, the last thing you want to do, is to be seen standing next to such a man, since that would imply you voted for him. And if you were photographed with him, that photo would one day end up in Court in the U.S.A. used by a lawyer defending a victim of sexual abuse, to show the Judge how callous the Cardinal is when he claims to be doing everything to protect children.

The lawyer could easily say, “Look him standing next to Leo XIV, the serial protector of serial abusers”. And the Judge would probably double or triple the monetary judgements against the Cardinal’s diocese, for it.

And, no doubt, even the lawyers of all these Cardinals know this. And probably told their employers before they went to Rome to not be seen with anyone elected who has a bad record on handling abuse.

But the consequence of this is very noticeable to Catholics in America. I can tell you it is more than surprising that the American Cardinals were not to be seen standing next to the first American elected pope.

And little by little the ugly truth is going to get out, because we Americans talk much more freely about men in the Church than is acceptable in most Catholic nations.

And when the laymen and women who manage the Charities which used to donate millions up millions to the Vatican get wind of all of this, they will look elsewhere to donate their monies, lest, some reporter working at some newspaper or TV station, finds out and runs a story, like, “Wealthy Catholic Charity, which claims to have family values, caught funding Pope who mishandled priest who raped multiple boys”.

And that will be the end of 60% of the funds from in the Vatican coffers, which are already down 50% from the United States of America.

So in electing Cardinal Prevost, they have doomed themselves financially and in their international reputation. No one, not even us devout Catholics are going to take them seriously ever again.

I won’t even mention that Cardinal Prevost won’t even have a magisterium: because no one but a Catholic faker would take seriously anything such an evil, corrupt, pervert protector would say about morality, just as no one in their right mind takes the counsels of a Mafioso about how to deal with the property of others.

By the grace of God, Cardinal Burke shall be our next Pope!

8 Comments

UPDATE: Boy was I wrong! Arroyo fed us a big lie.

Prognostication by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Rome, Italy — 4:14 P.M. Rome time: Raymond Arroyo of EWTN has just reported that Cardinal Burke is leading a Catholic Faction in the Conclave and has put together a bloc of 50 votes, supported by all the Cardinals from Africa.

Yesterday, as the Conclave began, Cardinal Burke while reciting the Litany of the Saints with the other Cardinals, had hands which were trembling with fear.

My guess is, then, that this bloc is supporting his candidacy.

The Bergoglians are disunited and cannot decide whether to all back Parolin, Tagle, or Zuppi. But even if they do, they cannot manage the 89 votes to win.

If the dynamics remain, I predict Cardinal Burke will be our next holy father, chosen because of all the Cardinals he was the one most persecuted by Pope Francis. As an American with the backing of all the conservative Charitable Foundations in the U.S.A., he will be able to solve both the financial problems and the canonical problems at the Vatican.

And he will take the name Pius XIII, because he has written extensively about the life and achievements of Pope Pius IX, who called Vatican I and defined the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception and Papal Infallibility.

5 Years ago, on May 11, the Lord Jesus sent a warning to the Vatican

10 Comments

Editorial by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Italy is a peninsula, but rarely are we told that it is a volcanic peninsula, formed by the outpourings of lava and ash long before the Lord Jesus created Adam and Eve. In recent years, all Italians can remember the horrific earthquake of August 24, 2016, when the plate of the Tyrrenian Sea moved abruptly under that of the Adriatic, at 3:34 A. M., causing massive and widespread devastation inland from the City of Rome:

In August of 2016, I was in Italy, finishing up my work at The Scholasticum, while staying as a guest with the Conventual Franciscan Friars at their Convent at St. Francis’ Monastery, at Bagnoregio. As my work had finished, I prayed to the Lord to know His will. I wanted to found a hermitage in the Apennine Mountains, very near to the epicenter of the Earthquake, which would strike Italy in three weeks time.

But while praying, I got a bad feeling that the Lord did not want me to go, and wanted me rather to return to the U.S.A. to found Ordo Militaris Catholicus. So I got a plane ticket as soon as possible, and left on August 23, the day before.

The next day I woke up to news of the devastation, and thanked the Lord that He had the mercy to warn me.

Since then many facts have come to public knowledge regarding the tremendous movement of the Earth’s plates which caused that devastation. One of them was that a crack in the Earth’s upper crust several inches wide and dozens of miles long, had opened up beneath the City of Rome, and was filled with water from the Tyrrenian Sea, all the way inland. The other was, that the experts were predicting another great earthquake to strike the city of Rome within 20 years, since as they said, the Italian peninsula was under too much strain, mid-peninsula, and something had to give to let that tension out.

I mention all of this, because back in 2020, when I was in lockdown at Rome, during the Plandemic, we were all rudely awaken in the early morning by a minor earthquake. It caused the door of my 1 room apartment to batter, as if someone was trying to break it.

Back then, I reported the event in the article above, which you can read still by clicking that image, “Powerful Earthquake Felt at Rome”.

But then, the date May 11th, did not mean anything to me.

However, this year of Our Lord 2025, that date takes on significance. Because according to the Papal Law on Conclaves, seeing that Pope Francis died on April 21, 2025, the latest day on which the Conclave could begin would have been May 11th. Cardinal Electors arriving after that could not vote.

So the May 11, 2020 earthquake, was in reality a warning to the College of Cardinals, that the Church is in the Hands of God, and He can crush them in a second, with His mighty Hand, since He rules all things. And when Our Lord, at His Ascension, affirmed, “All authority in Heaven and Earth has been given to Me,” we must understand that this also refers to Earthquakes.

And this is not mere speculation on my part, because in one of the mystical dreams of Saint John Bosco, he saw the holy and saintly pope to restore the Church returning on a day after Rome is destroyed by an earthquake, with thousands of dead lining the streets. That sort of implies that the Lord will visit Rome with a great punishment during a conclave. And that the man elected will be outside of the City, when that Visitation of the Divine Wrath breaks out.

I am not saying that the Lord will send an Earthquake in our days. But He alone knows. Here is the seismological observatory for earthquakes in Central Italy, for this week:

Meanwhile, I have been traveling to Rome every day to pray for the Cardinals to chose the right man, but this morning, I asked the Lord if He wants me to continue, and upon waking I found myself so dizzy, that I believe the Lord wants me to stop visiting the City, for some reason. So I wonder, why, since I have rarely experienced this kind of dizziness, which has to do with some imbalance of fluids in the inner ear, such that, when I stand up, the whole world seems to be swaying this way and that.

How the Catholic Cardinals can 100% guarantee a Catholic be elected Pope

4 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Recently Cardinal Burke said the situation becoming apparent among the Cardinal Electors is very grave. Translation: Most of the Cardinals who give interventions are open heretics and the majority of the College applaud them.

Even Cardinal Mueller said “It would be a catastrophe for the Church to elect someone like Pope Francis”.

The only Cardinal I know of who has asked for prayers is Cardinal Burke. Henry Sire, author of the expose’, “The Dictator Pope”, says that Burke is not in danger of being elected.

I do not know one sane Catholic commentator who is not concerned about there heretical majority among the College of Cardinals.

So is there nothing they can do about it, but mumble, whine and ask for us to pray for them?

No, of course not; for there is a strategy to ensure a Catholic pope, and it is based on two things, first a juridical principle and second a legal maneuver in the Conclave.

The Juridical Principe

Declare that if a heretic is elected, that the Catholic Cardinals will publicly denounce his election as juridically invalid

On the grounds of Pope Pau lV’s papal Bull, “Cum ex Apostolatus Officio”, which declared that the election by the College of Cardinals of a man who professed heresy before his election, IS totally NULL and VOID and no Catholic is bound to accept it. — Click the link to see my discussion of this papal bull from 2015.

Such a declaration, signed by Cardinal Electors, of howsoever few in number, has the ability to force the election of a Catholic, by inducing the Cardinals whose consciences are not so clear, that such a great scandal should be avoided.*

The Legal Maneuver in Conclave

Plan A:  Phase 1 — Form a block of 33%+1 of the Cardinal Electors to permanently block the election of everyone but a Catholic

Cardinal Burke, being an expert on Canon Law should be able to explain to the entire College the extent to which the Papal Bull of Pope Paul IV is still in force in such extraordinary conditions such as exist presently in the College of Cardinals.

That explanation supported by a number of Cardinal Electors of the most prominent pedigree and accomplishments, should rally at least 45+ Cardinals to the side of the Catholics, and form a block to any election of any candidate, permanently, since the Papal Law for elections during conclave has no provision to relax the requirement of 66%+1 for a valid election of the next pope. So with such a block, resolved to make no compromise, they have invincible leverage

And this is very doable, and is not a canonical crime, nor does it espouse a canonical opinion which is wild or crazy or made up by grifters on social media.

If they cannot get a Catholic Elected, this legal maneuver can at least prevent any pope from being elected.

Plan A:  Phase 2–Conclave Compromise

The election of a candidate by compromise is not allow in the Conclave. However, the Cardinals can resolve by a vote NOT to elect anyone in accord with the Papal Law, and resolve to leave the election to the Clergy and Laity of the Roman Church, in accord with their Apostolic Rite, a right which would automatically revive on account of the refusal of the entire College to elect a Pope.

The College of Electors then can summon all the clergy of the Church of Rome (Diocese of Rome and suburbican dioceses) to the Paul VI hall and introduce them to the candidates that both groups of Cardinals want, and explain the disagreement which led to their decision to not elect anyone but remit that election to the clergy and faithful. The clergy then will have the grace to chose the Catholic candidate, because in the history of the Church from St. Peter to this day, the faithful of Rome have never elected a heretic. And then both Cardinals and clergy can present the candidate to the Roman Faithful in the Piazza S. Pietro for their acclamation. Thus we would get a Catholic pope.

Thus, though we should be praying, we should not despair, but communicate this information to the Catholic Electors who will vote next week, since this is a nearly fail safe way of saving the Church. You can share this article with Cardinal Burke here.

Plan B — A Catholic Conclave

The fail safe or last resort is, if they cannot form a 46 vote bloc to prevent the election of a heretic indefinitely, that they follow through with their warning to denounce the election of the non-Catholic in accord with the rule of the Papal Bull of Paul IV, Cum ex apostolatus officio. Following this public denunciation which should be made before the election of the heretic is announced, the Catholic Cardinals should gather in a safe place and begin the Conclave again, following the Papal Law, and as soon as they elect a man with 66%+1 votes of the Catholic Cardinals, proclaim him to the world as the true Catholic Pope.

This fail safe is much better than a heretical pope, because entrusting the Church to a heretic is worse than a schism where one side has a worthy Catholic pope and the other has a heretic. And with all or a majority of the Catholic electors supporting the Catholic pope, and the heretical electors supporting the heretic, it will become obvious to Catholics all over the world which is the true pope.

Then the battle will begin, but at least such a battle is winnable, since they would have the Holy Spirit on their side, since they did what is right, within the limits of their own juridical rights, and followed a procedure declared valid in perpetuity by Pope Paul IV, a true Vicar of Christ, which has not been abolished by any subsequent legislation, which deals such such circumstances.

* As Electors, during a sede vacante, they hold the natural right to issue such a declaration, because seeing that the right to elect a pope encompasses naturally the duty to judge candidates, the Cardinal Electors during a valid Conclave, held during a sede vacante, do not usurp the rights of anyone nor damage them. — Remember, whereas no one but a Pope can judge a Cardinal a heretic, when there is a pope, yet when there is no pope, Cardinal Electors have the natural right to manifest which candidates are ineligible on account of prior manifest heresy. In this they do not violate the papal law which guarantees that no un-excommunicated Cardinal can be refused the right to vote and to be elected, they simply respond to the error of electing a manifest heretic as pope, which is a result and condition not addressed in the Papal Law, and therefore, which reasonably can be responded to by appealing to Pope Paul IV’s Bull.

Note, however, I am not saying that laymen or clergy who are not Cardinals can declare whomsoever they do not like as Pope a heretic, and then hold their own Assembly of Apostolic Right, because the ancient right of the whole Church of Rome cannot be appealed to, so long as there are Cardinal Electors willing to elect a pope. And if they won’t call him a heretic, his errors might be great, but that is not sufficient reason to claim, on one’s own authority, the right to judge him. In such a case, Catholics would have to appeal to a Provincial Council in the ecclesiastical province of Rome, to ask the Bishops to remonstrate with the newly elected Pope, once he starts spouting error or heresy. Because outside of a Conclave, no one has canonical authority to discern the pope to be a formal pertinacious heretic, except the Bishops of the Ecclesiastical Province of Rome.

Why all the prognostications of who will be the next pope will be wrong (Updated)

8 Comments

Editorial by Br. Alexis Bugnolo, Editor of FromRome.info

During the sede vacante of the Apostolic See, following the death of every true pope, we are won’t to be offered the opinions of many persons, inside and outside of the Church regarding who is a likely candidate to be elected as the next pope.

While no single man can save the Church or destroy Her, since God the Holy Spirit cares for Her and Christ Jesus defends and governs Her, a single man can do great good or great evil. Pope Francis is a prime example of the latter.

But as to whom the Cardinals elect, it is from history shown, that practical questions play a much stronger role than ideological ones, after the death of a Pope who has financially ruined the Apostolic See, which if the Main Stream Media has told you, is one the verge of if not already in a de facto insolvency, or bankruptcy.

Thus, the Cardinals, most of whom were bishops who governed and managed dioceses, are going to have on their mind the necessity of electing someone who can save the Vatican financially.

As I have opined before, this will require not only personal characteristics, but also a background which enables the collaboration of Catholics all over the world with such a man, because when it comes to fundraising and financial reforms, the problem is more in public relations than in investments, since the Church lives by the offerings of Her faithful.

Thus, we can exclude all those possible candidates who participated in Pope Francis’ financial ruin of the Vatican, because, even if they know how to fix the problem, no one outside the Vatican will believe they have the moral integrity to do it. And that is an essential qualification for office, when it comes to asking big donors to open up their purses. This is even more true now that USAID has been cut-off.

For this reason, we can also strike off the list of possible candidates, the men whom the Cardinals will likely see as incapable of garnering support from the entire Catholic world: and this includes all the ideological fellow travelers of Pope Francis, whom true Catholics the world-over find to be detestable hypocrites, and not men of God.

This second group to be excluded does not include only those in the Vatican, but many of the Cardinals named in nearly every news article by the Main Stream Media as “leading” or “possible” candidates.

Third, the candidate has to be from a country where the faithful are financially capable and willing to back his reforms. This means a candidate has to share the values of that nation’s major donors.

From this we can exclude all the possible candidates from Italy and all nations which are not in the G7, in my opinion. We can also exclude all the candidates from those nations in the G7 which are liberal and want the moral degradation promoted by the Globalists.

Likewise, I think the intelligence agencies in the West will be giving strong signals to the Cardinals not to elect someone who is in the BRICS orbit, simply because the geopolitical strategies of NATO and the European Union would consider such a candidate as too great of a threat to their national interests.

Finally, the next Pope will not garner confidence if he has been a known applauder of Pope Francis, because all such men will be considered suspect by faithful Catholics and faithful Clergy the world over.

I will end my prognostication here. You can be sure, therefore, we are not going to get a new Pope From Asia, Africa or South America, simply because these nations are too poor and their cardinals do not have the contacts necessary to financially support a reform at the Vatican.

And the biggest problem at the Vatican is the financial problem. But seeing that there are Catholic organizations like the Knights of Columbus, which has an investment portfolio of 85 Billion U.S. Dollars, who will have their lobbyists at Rome, in these weeks, I tend to think a candidate who espouses their family and conservative values will be elected, even though it appears nearly impossible that such a man be the next pope, due to the numbers of men appointed by Pope Francis. And I base this prognostication on the fact that, all the Cardinals, no matter what their theological positions and their political allegiances, want the Vatican City State to remain in existence, a thing it cannot do without money and popularity among the Faithful world-wide, but especially in the affluent West.

As to the age of the man to be elected, since the College of Cardinals is very divided, I think it is even more certain, that the next Pope will be very old and in bad health, because only such a man could garner support from all the Cardinals, whatever their and his theological positions be, because he will not be expected to live long.

And this is how I see the dynamics going if we are only to consider the primary leading candidates. (See below for my update).

If you would like to speculate on your own, see the complete list of living Cardinals by name here, and by age, here, and for other lists of the same, see here.

However, note that I did not say that the next pope will be a Cardinal, because the Cardinals can elect a non-cardinal. He just has to be male, a Catholic, and not under ecclesiastical censures, currently unmarried, by law, and never divorced or living in public sin out of common sense. That excludes very many men, but also it excludes Archbishop Viganò, who was excommunicated by Pope Francis “Dicastery” (Greek for “tribunal”) for the Doctrine of the Faith.

As for the report (see below) that Pope Francis spent his pontificate trying to fix the financial problems he inherited from Pope Benedict XVI: that is a total lie. There never was an major financial problem, until Francis and his motley crew of crooks and moral degenerates put their hands on it and robbed and squandered 10 years of Peter Pence’ collection saved frugally by Pope Benedict XVI.

UPDATE of May 6th:  THE VOTING DYNAMICS FOR ALTERNATIVE CANDIDATES

If the Cardinals cannot agree on their favored candidates, what is likely to happen, is what we saw happen in the second conclave in 1978, that an alternative who is appealing to both sides is chosen. In this case, it will have to be someone who would be certainly backed by the Knights of Columbus and the Papal Foundation, yet garner support of all the Cardinals who are conservatives and from the Third World. This dynamic would not be bound by the strictures of my above analysis.

So if Cardinal Sarah is too much disliked by the Bergoglians, then if he endorses someone of this kind of alternative, those supporting him would move their votes over to that man. It is said, also, for example, that a conservative group of Latin American Cardinals would support Cardinal Ambongo of the Congo, Archbishop of Kinshasa, but having no Curial experience he would be seen as someone unable to navigate the corridors of the Vatican. In any case, if he endorses someone else, the votes going to him would likely transfer.

The only Cardinal in the Third World, whom I know of, who is more European and Conservative than all the Europeans and Americans is Cardinal Ranjith of Sri Lanka. And as such he would certainly be endorsed by Cardinal Sarah and Cardinal Ambongo, who would shift their supporters to him. And as a man who was drummed out of the Roman Curia by European liberals for being faithful to the Faith and Tradition, he would be a dramatic rallying point for those Cardinals from outside of Europe who want a less Eurocentric and liberal papacy. Also Cardinals Eijk, Erdo, Burke and Mueller would certainly support him and move their supporters’ votes over to him. Whether that way he could be the focal point of 89 votes, only God knows as of today. But if elected, I think Cardinal Ranjith will either take the name Pius XIII, because in his whole life he has exemplified a spirit of piety and is pretty darn fed up, after being driven out of the Vatican Curia, with the revolution of the Aggiornamento.

Those not speaking of the Sutri Initiative are tacitly endorsing an Abomination

An Editorial for Holy Week

IN MEMORIAM OF FATHER COUGHLIN, RADIO CRUSADER

It must be said clearly and without equivocation, that no man who identifies himself as a “homosexual” or who has a sexual preference for men, as well as no man who has had sexual relations with children, men, or animals, or who is having them with women or themselves by self abuse, shows the certain infallible and supernatural sign of being able to have a priestly vocation or a vocation to religious life: the spirit of chastity. For, the following of Christ and the ministry Christ handed down through the Apostles requires absolute abstinence from the use of the human powers of generation as well as the intention never to use them.

The above article, however, shows that Pope Francis is involved in mainstreaming impurity into the priesthood, so that these filthy impure men desecrate and crucify again the Child Jesus in the Eucharist, every time they say mass. For there is no such thing, in the Catholic Faith, such as “integrating your sexuality” into the priesthood! A holy priest is a totally mortified man, and mortification is the opposite of “integration”.

Indeed, it is a mortal sin of sacrilege to say the words of consecration, when one is in the state of mortal sin, and every sexual desire consented to, as well as every vice of impurity tolerated, place a man in the state of mortal sin.

All this is a nightmare of horrors on the spiritual level which fully merits the name of an Abomination: something which should be detested and hated with all the strength of our souls, just as God so hates it. Jesus never intended that any pervert or filthy man be a priest or exercise the priestly ministry or take the habit of a religious upon himself.

And that is why, all those “Catholic” voices who know of the Sutri Initiative, but refuse to call on the Bishops of the Roman Province to exercise their canonical rights to know whether Pope Francis is a catholic and has a rightful claim to the Apostolic See are involved in consenting to, nay, positively willing the consequence of this refusal of theirs: the spread of this Abomination.

And as such, they would do well this Holy Week by pausing their customary lamentations of problems in the Church, or in the state, such as their frequent demands that this or that politician not receive the Sacraments, because of not being pro this or that, and instead examine their own consciences which are stained with 12 years of cowardice and refusal to urge their readers to remove this arch-heretic from his claim to the Papacy.

They would do better than pretending that abstaining from the internet and fasting is going to rise to God as a pleasing sacrifice, when their own souls stink of wretched treachery to the Lord Jesus, in the hands of His enemies, the filthy priests tormenting Him by their horrid hypocrisy.

And if anyone be guilty of such mortal sins, let them take the golden opportunity of Holy Week to repent, make a good confession, and burn out the habits of such sins by fasting and abstinence, as long as needed, so that they might stand with the Risen Lord on Easter Sunday with a soul white and shinning and free of such disgusting stains.

As for all the souls not involved in these sins, I urge you to keep this Holy Week with many acts of love and reparation to the Sacred Heart, in union with Our Lady of Sorrows, praying for the conversion of these sinners. Let us immerse ourselves in the memory of their sufferings, so that we might at least obtain by humble acts of love, the repentance of some of these wayward souls. Let us walk with Christ to Calvary, in the company of Our Lady and St. Mary Magdalene and St. John the Evangelist. Let us stand with Christ asking Him again to let the power of His Most Sacred Passion pour out upon sinners again and renew the Church.  For He is our omnipotent Savior and without Him and His intervention we are lost!

Jesus Christ has now checkmated Pope Francis

7 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Back on October 1, 2013, shortly after I began FromRome, I remarked that the Church had entered a moment when we would have to trust ever more in the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus Christ for His Vicar, on earth, the Pope. I recalled that profound truth after the Assembly by Apostolic Right, on January 30, 2023, when the Faithful to heal the de facto schism in the Church, between the Catholics in communion with Christ’s Vicar, Pope Benedict XVI, and those who were deceived by the mass apostasy from the truth, of the Cardinals in electing Jorge Mario Bergoglio, even when Pope Benedict XVI had not abdicated according to Canon 332, elected the latter, so that the man whom most of the hierarchy regarded as Christ’s Vicar might become Christ’s Vicar, and be entrusted to that very Prayer of the one and only true Priest in the Catholic Church, Jesus Christ.

And the whole Church, both the friends of Pope Francis and his enemies, saw that for the first months of his juridically valid papacy, he was a much better person and avoided heretical statements and destructive policies. But after he put his signature to “Fiducia supplicans”, thus turning his back entirely to Jesus Christ’s Gospel of repentance, Christ responded with lighting bolts, literally, and sent His Holy Spirit not only to stir up world-wide opposition to his blasphemous agenda, through the faithful Bishops, mostly of Africa and other nations not under U.S. Government influence, and to withdraw that same Live-Giving Spirit from him, so that his health began to definitively decline.

Within three months, he was in hospital for bronchitis, and his doctors told him to slow down, but he refused. So he began taking cortisone to keep going, such that by the first anniversary of his perverse apostasy from Christ he was seen gasping for breath in public. He evidently increased the cortisone dosage, abusing the drug, causing him to fall frequently and suffer massive bruises, and nearly died on several occasions by glycemic shock in February, and by choking to death in Gemelli Polyclinic, here at Rome.

Released from the hospital, on March 23, 2025, now, Pope Francis is a beaten defeated man: who cannot breathe without high level oxygen at night: and who thus, consequently, cannot speak because his throat is so dried out. He suffers from an incapacitated right arm — perhaps due to one of his many falls — such that he can no longer write with his right hand. And his immune system is so shot, that he cannot even meet with individuals, but it shielded by a small circle of supporters who are in fact now running the Vatican.

Has any of this brought this incredibly evil, malign, sick, perverted, corrupted, accused by an investigative reporter of national fame of being an informant against his own sheep during the Argentine dictatorship (in the March 2005 book El Silencio still in print in Italy *) — whence they were tortured or thrown from planes from 30,000 feet into the Atlantic to their deaths –, not to mention his betrayal of 30 million Catholics in China, to repentance, at last? I ask.  I do not think so. There are no signs of it.

But Christ has quite effectively checkmated this heretic in every possible physical way, patiently but inexorably, as a warning.

If he refuses this Divine Remonstration, there will come most certainly the two Last Things, which he has fully merited by his constancy in evil: Death and Damnation.

In the meantime, Our Lord has in a way, you could say, impeded his heretical hold on the Apostolic See. Bishops round the world know he is now totally moribund, and this will encourage the good to resist the final acts of perfidy he might attempt to perpetrate.

And these events are all the consequence of the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus Christ, before the Throne of God in the Empyrean Heaven, which mercy was conferred on Pope Francis, by the Faithful of Rome, meeting together on January 30, 2023, when they did the only thing they could do, for his sake and for the sake of us all, elect him the successor of Pope Benedict XVI.

Let us praise and glorify the Living God, Who remains true to His Faithful when even just a few of them continue to trust in His Promises. May His Justice and Mercies be swift!

Footnote: While the main stream media generally believed the accusations for 8 years prior to his “election” in 2013, and flipped and called them false afterwards, the mere fact that the book is still for sale in Italy argues that they were true, because in Italy libel suits are very easy to win, and the mere fact that the Vatican and Bergoglio have never taken action against the author for libel, argues more than 100 newspaper articles to the contrary.

Are we living already under the 4th Reich?

8 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Adolf Hitler imbued his followers with the ardent desire to continue his political project long after his death. Much has been written about this. But the determination of fact whether such a project is still in existence or in act, is not so easy to say, since no one openly claims to be organizing a Fourth Reich, even if many of the leading personalities in power today have direct connections to Adolf Hitler or notable figures and institutions of the Third Reich.

If you have read FromRome.Info attentively over the years, you already have the evidence. Let me review it.

For example, Donald Trump has a cousin who was personally chosen by Adolf Hitler to be a director of the Reich Bank, while Hitler was alive. And just yesterday he appointed Susan Menarez to head the CDC, a woman whom the ARPA_H website describes in purely National Socialist terms.

Pope Francis’ people were sad that the allies defeated Adolf Hitler. And the faction which put him into power, the St. Gallen Mafia, has Nazi fingerprints all over it. Not to mention that Adolf Hitler’s automobile company does not forget to keep supporting Bergoglio. And his Nuncio to Germany even praised the treaty with Adolf Hitler which sold Catholic silence in return for “religious liberty”, whatever that meant. In fact, Bergoglio may have been personally recruited by Gelli a Nazi collaborator, who founded the P2 Lodge to which he belonged.

George Soros worked for the Nazi government in Hungary and still says to this day that it was the best time of his life. Netanyahu heads a party which is a direct descendant of Zionist groups which collaborated with Hitler.

Putin is supported in power by the Wagner Group, which was founded by neo-Nazis, which is not surprising, since there are more than 100 Neo-Nazi groups in Russia.

Trudeau appointed the grand-daughter of a Nazi as one of his ministers in 2017, which is also not surprising, since Canada willingly imported Nazi’s after WWII, in an operation called, “Matchbox”.

Klaus Schwab, head of the WEF during the Plandemic, has a father who was a major industrialist under Adolf Hitler and collaborated in the German project to develop the Atomic Bomb.

There are storage facilities in various nations, still keeping Nazi paraphernalia, such as in Rome, Italy, which is also not surprising since Neo-Nazis are prominent members of “mainline” parties and display their loyalties even in death.

Major financial institutions in the United States, still in existence and never punished, collaborated to construct and finance Adolf Hitler’s war machine. This also should not surprise, since Henry Ford, founder of Ford Automotive Works, was an ardent supporter of Adolf Hitler. And Rockefeller’s’ agents sat on the Directorate of the Nazi State. Even General Electric did its part to support Nazi Germany. And there is a lot more to this historical fact, which you can read here.

The very Bank which serves as the intermediary of nearly all national banks in the world, worked intimately with the Nazi Regime in financing it and helping it move capital out of Germany at the end of the war. And that ATM problem which effectively forced Pope Benedict XVI to resign, even that has a Nazi connection!

Dulles, who collaborated to help the Nazis move their wealth out of Germany into Switzerland, brining hundreds of Nazis over to the USA, in operation “Paperclip”, was intimately involved in founding the CIA and convincing the Vatican to call the Second Vatican Council.

Hey, the CIA to this day spies on Europeans from a former Nazi lair!

Of course, even in the Catholic Church, there are many Nazi collaborators and sympathizers who have never been censured for their roles in WWII or the post-War era, helping war criminals escape to South America. Not to mention the Catholic Clergy who worked as Nazi spies!

Even during the recent Scamdemic, governments such as that of the United Kingdom did not hesitate to sign contracts with Nazi heirs in corporate America.

But perhaps the most significant and important fact, is that the Plandemic itself, executed by nearly every national government on the planet, was designed to violate every article of the Nuremberg Code for medical ethics, as I observed on August 21, 2021, in the article here below.

Vatican News announces no more daily updates for Pope Francis’ Health?

Leave a comment

An Editorial by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

In today’s news, it was promised that the Medical Team of Pope Francis would announce his progress. The implication was also given that he had finished his antibiotic therapy and would be well enough for a prognosis finally to be published. But something else happened:  in the Vatican News Press release of yesterday afternoon, the claim is made that the Pope is improving so slowly there is no need for daily updates about his health or how he slept: there may be in the future, but only when his health situation is “better consolidated”.

So what happened? Has the Pope improved or has he relapsed? Why has no prognosis been given after 29 days in hospital?

One reason for the cessation of press releases might be that Cardinal Parolin, after meeting with the Ambassadors assigned to hold relations with the Apostolic See yesterday morning, in the Capella Paolina, was informed about how ridiculous these press releases were being seen to be by the entire world. And so he ordered them stopped.

That meeting was to hold a mass for the “healing of Pope Francis”. And what better way to show progress toward that than ending press releases? (sarcasm)

And so I expect the next press release we get is, “the Pope was healthy, but died suddenly”, or “Pope Francis is now so healthy he will transfer to Santa Maria Maggiore and convene a Consistory to resign”. — Click the image above to read the original Italian, or HERE to read an English translation. — Because if the Pope will never again have the health in his lungs sufficient to be free from breathing machines and high-consecration oxygen supplementation, it’s better to admit it than keep stringing the Faithful along with false hope, no?

Without regular press releases, Cardinal Parolin is now the de facto ruler of the Vatican City State and the maker of all papal decisions. We still have no photographs proving Pope Francis was ever in hospital, nor the names of any medical doctors who actually did treat him. A thing which is totally bizarre. — I expect therefore even more wild speculation, as to what is going on, to break out, at any moment.

Indeed, if the claim that the Pope is now improving slowly and is out of danger is true, the names of his doctors and photographs of him should be immediately released. And any Cardinal who wishes to see him, should be allowed a visit, howsoever short. Failing this, shouts of “cover up” and “coup d’etat” will be the watchwords of the day.

Make this Lent the event that will change your life forever…

REPRINT from Lent 2023

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

The season of Lent is something so regular in its advent that it is easy to lose the proper sense of what we should be doing differently, and why this season is so important for our lives as Catholics.

Indeed, so scheduled and habitual are the events of modern life, that it is easy to let the season of Lent go by without ever making those changes necessary in our daily schedule, without which it is impossible to gather and taste the spiritual fruits of the season.

Lent is a Season for Good Works

First, let’s enumerate the many good works that can be done during Lent, which though salutary each in a different manner, do not comprise the essential act that we should be engaged in, frequently, during this season.

Thus, first, there is the Lenten resolution, which, even when I was a child, was still quite commonly practiced among Catholics — a sort of Catholic version of the New Year’s resolution, but us much more Christian.

While, yes, it is a good thing to resolve at the start of Lent, to undertake some work of charity or devotion, to sanctify this holy season.  That is not the essence of Lent.

Thus, it is a good and holy thing to resolve to go to Daily Mass, receive the Sacraments more frequently, give alms to the poor in the third world, purchase a book about spiritual things, and read some of it, or attend devotional exercises such as the Stations of the Cross, while not neglecting to keep Friday’s meatless, these things while they should never be omitted, are not precisely what Lent is about.

Preparation for Holy Week and Easter is only the Secondary purpose of Lent

Now frequently we hear that the purpose of Lent is to prepare us to celebrate worthily the Sacred Feasts of Holy Week and Easter.  This too, while true, is only a secondary purpose behind Lent.

True, Lent is a liturgical season, which originated to prepare converts to the Faith, for Baptism on Easter, in the early centuries of the Church.

But Lent, as a liturgical season, is not directed principally to preparing the individual or the local Catholic Community to celebrate liturgical ceremonies worthily.  Rather, it has a higher purpose, just as the ceremonies do not exists for themselves, but for a higher purpose.

There is a certain sort of error, which has quietly crept into the Catholic world in the last century, which conceives Catholic life to consist essentially in liturgical celebrations.  So widespread is this error, that you find Catholic laity reading out loud the entire rite of the Mass in Latin or in the vernacular, when the priest is absent, going so far as to say the priest’s parts; while thinking that on Sundays when there is no Mass in their area, that it would be a sin or fault or imperfection to omit the similitude of the liturgical celebration, so essential they believe that is to Catholic life.

Without a doubt the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is essential to the life of every Catholic and to the entire church.  But the liturgical ritual’s enactment is not the center of life.  It’s what that ceremony represents, which is the center of our life:  the Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ, through which, and without which, we cannot be saved and receive grace.

And hence the scope or role of the liturgical functions is not to be an end in themselves, but to be instruments and occasions for us to do those acts which are essential to Christian life:  the practice of the theological virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity; the contemplation of God and of Heavenly things, and the consideration of the present state of our souls in the light of God.

The Primary Purpose of Lent

Lent, essentially, is for this:  to be an occasion in which we consider profoundly and anew, the state of our souls in the light of God, and in considering this, weighing the immense travesty of our sins against the dire and extreme eternal punishment, which we most certainly merited for them.

This most sober of considerations is what Lent is about.  Without that consideration and that done frequently in this holy Season, we miss the whole importance of Lent.

Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell:  these are the 4 Last Things, and these should be the objects of our frequent consideration, in Church, and out of Church.

The Saints made the consideration of the state of their soul in the light of God their habitual, daily reflection and habit of mind.  It was for this reason that the Saints did so many things which startle the mind and stir the soul of whomsoever hears or reads of them.

Essential Practices for Lent

We will soon enter into the season of Lent.  It will therefore, be very useful for us, now to consider its essential practice, ordering all the other customary practices of Lent towards this one essential thing:  our own repentance.

The mere consideration that we have sinned, is necessary, but this is not the only step we need to take.

We need to examine the causes of our sinfulness:  in which things or places are have we most sinned:  with whom, about what things, during which activities.

A wise Catholic who actually wants to save his soul, does not take lightly the consideration of such things.  This is so, because he is a prudent Christian who realizes that unless he corrects a minor spiritual problem, it can easily grow into a greater one.

A humble Catholic too, realizes that, in the reconsideration of one’s past sins, one can often find that one’s past confessions were much too superficial, and that in failing to remove one’s self from the occasions of those sins, that the vice which bore their deadly fruit has grown deeper still in one’s soul.

Let’s consider, therefore, the motives we should have in examining our conscience during Lent.  I do not mean “examining one’s conscience” in the perfunctory and quick manner in which we are accustomed, rightly, to do prior to receiving the Sacrament of Penance.

I mean this in the sense of the habit of meditation we should have to do this, whenever we do this, but especially throughout every day of the season of Lent.

Just as one’s house will soon be filthy as a pig-sty, if one does not regularly clean every corner of it; so the soul gathers moral filth through very tiny and unnoticed daily sins.

These grow the vices in our soul; and when these vices are strong enough they give birth to the evil fruit of mortal sin.  And since one mortal sin, unrepentant of, is sufficient to lose eternal life, and merit the everlasting and unimaginably excruciating fires of Hell, the prudent Catholic will not take lightly the importance of cleaning the house of his soul.

The first difficulty in this work that we find is that venial sins, each of them, reduce quite unnoticeably the ability of our souls to recognize sin and its effects.

Thus, unless we have a strong habit of examining our soul, when it comes time to think of our sinfulness, we cannot find anything to convict ourselves of!

If this is the case, with yourself; then you have found the first thing to confess and the first thing you must investigate with prayer and meditation:  the fact that you do not recognize yourself to have sinned.

As the Psalms say, even the holiest of men sins seven times a day.  If you are not a Saint, you surely sin more than 7 times a day; if you are a Saint you will already be convinced that you sin much more than this.

However, to counter super-scrupulosity, which is the spiritual disease of those who are convinced that certain things are sins, and that they have committed these quite frequently, even though their real sins are much greater, and by this too anxious of self-accusations they omit the consideration of their vices of pride or despair in the power of God’s grace to forgive them in the Sacrament of Penance; nevertheless for the majority of us, we have not this fault, we just don’t see our sins; we do not suffer from a preoccupation of believing we have sinned when we have not; we suffer from the opposite spiritual fault, of considering we have not sinned, when we have!

One rule of thumb is, that if you do not consider you have committed any sins in the last year, you probably have the habit of committing many mortal sins:  it’s just that since the effect of sin is the darkening of the mind, you have been so blinded by your sins that you can’t see it.

Lent is a prosperous spiritual time to seek the cure of such a blindness.  And one must seek it, to escape from the dire punishment of Hell which would surely engulf such a blinded soul!

Practical Remedies to Cure one’s own Impenitence

There are some practical remedies to obtain this cure, which need to be mentioned, because they are never preached.

The first is that for most of us, a direct attack upon this blindness does not convince of anything.  Even a very moving sermon, has little or no effect beyond recognizing that it was such.

The actual change of heart, which is the goal of repentance evades the sinner.

A direct attack upon this spiritual insensitivity to sin does not work, because one can only recognize sin, inasmuch as one opens one’s mind to the ability to see it and fear it.

Spiritual blindness is accompanied by a lack of fear of sin; a certain habit of easily excusing major sins, as if they were light faults; and venial sins as imperfections.  There is a certain distortion of judgment in the soul, which has resulted by ignoring the immorality of sin for so long.  And it is, admittedly, a very evil consequence of sin, to free one’s self from.

And to be absolutely frank, its is very rare that a single confession will be sufficient.  Just as those with cancer are not cured by taking just one pill, but often have to endure very painful procedures and months and years of treatment; so this kind of insensitivity to sin requires a long and protracted treatment.

The key to progressing against this awful spiritual disability, is to take tiny steps towards weakening and conquering this disability.

Regaining one’s ability to see one’s own sins, is not some mysterious spiritual practice.  It begins with the recognition of one sin which our conscience still can see is a sin.  Perhaps, however, we only think it is an imperfection or venial sin; but if we consider its causes or nature or occasion, it is certain, in a soul which does not consider itself to be a great sinner, that he has overlooked something which conceals the fact that he is in reality a great sinner.

I won’t speak about the fact that it is already a mortal sin of pride to consider that you are not a sinner: because such a declaration for such a soul is usually too much to understand.  Pride is a very spiritual sin, and one who has lost the sense of morality, has lost the sense of what is spiritual.

However, at the start it is always useful to consider and recognize intellectually that this is true; even if affectively and effectively we do not understand how this can be the case, because of our blindness.

How to dispose one’s self to the great Grace of Repentance

So, uprooting spiritual blindness begins with considering the one thing we can still see as a sin or imperfection.  This is the first step, because the very nature of spiritual progress is a re-capacitation of the power of the mind to consider spiritual things.  And like dominoes which when aligned properly, cause the next one to fall, when they themselves are toppled, so sins, when recognized and repented of, are the occasion to open our minds to the recognition of other sins.

In each step of the process, the recognition of one sin is the work of the conscience in its present state.  But this recognition cannot enable us to make the second step, which is repenting of the sin, because this second step is the work of prayer, devout and persistent to obtain the grace to repent of it.  And this can only be obtained by humble supplication.

All kinds of fasts, prayers, liturgies, meditations, pilgrimages, spiritual readings, alms, etc., are not going to assist your soul, if you do not use them as accompaniments to the work of earnestly begging for the grace of repentance, and disposing yourself to it by acts of self humiliation before God, in private, in the recesses of your heart and mind, wherein you declare, decide and resolve, that God is God, and that you are just a poor sinner, who in no manner deserves anything but judgment and damnation!

Humility is the key here:  how often a sinner might struggle to overcome one vice all his life, but fail to do so, simply because he never got down on his knees in private, and admitted to God and to himself that he was incapable of virtue by himself, and that he could only be virtuous and good, by the gift of God, earnestly begging Him for it on such an occasion!

This humble prayer and devout, secret supplication for grace, is the key step and the essential prerequisite for repentance, though, it can in fact be done in the secret of one’s heart, even in public places, while driving, or traveling, or even during other occupations, when the soul is properly disposed and God in His Mercy bestows the actual grace for it to occur.

During this essential step of humble recognition, a sorrow is engendered in the soul, along with a fear and realization of the danger of damnation, that the heart and mind turns vivaciously towards God and stirs it to ardently appeal for grace.

During such times it sometimes happens that this movement is responsive to grace sufficiently to receive the gift of tears, and during such a gracious movement, the dispositions of the soul can be cleansed and purged from years and years of distorted affections; leaving the heart with a new and healthy sense of sin and its gravity, and a new and healthy vivacity for things spiritual and heavenly.

The Proper Place and Role of Self-mortification

Essential to preparing the soul for such a humble recognition is the practice of mortification.

Mortification consists corporeally with fasting from beverages and food, abstaining from meat and rich foods; use of cold showers, and the endurance of sensations which are painful or sacrificial.

Mortification of the body does not work, when such activities are undertaken by a spirit of self-sufficiency, a kind of presumption that without God one can work his own repentance, or that in doing such things, one proves that he is not a sinner or is some sort of spiritual giant or athlete.

Such a spirit makes such corporal mortifications sinful!

Rather such practices should be undertaken only with the motivation to humble oneself, detach oneself from such a spirit of self sufficiency, and open the door of the spiritual world to the virtue of humility.

This desire to seek spiritual enlightenment, to leave aside one’s pride, to change one’s life at its root, to gain a sense of spiritual things and to loose one’s carnal view of things, should be the motivation of spiritual mortifications, which are very helpful to dispose our souls to the grace of repentance:  such as all those customary acts of Lent, which were mentioned at the beginning of this essay, as not being the principal purpose of Lent.

Repentance is the principal purpose of Lent, and all other things must be ordered to that.  But repentance has as its goal the reuniting of the soul with God and the resumption of the path toward perfection in the pursuit of eternal salvation. Lent thus finds it glory, not in preparing us for liturgical celebrations in time, but in being an occasion to return to the quest for eternal salvation in eternity.

Will the College of Cardinals elect the next Pope? Maybe not!

3 Comments

Or How the Catholic Cardinals can definitely prevent a Bergoglian from being elected as the next Pope, no matter what.

Editorial by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

With the serious decline in health of Pope Francis, there have begun to be published numerous articles regarding his resignation, death, and what kind of man the Church needs to be elected as the next Pope. Noteworthy Catholics, laymen and clerics, are also beginning to express their doubts that the College of Cardinals is going to elect someone to correct the many heresies, apostasies, idolatries, blasphemies, errors and the promotion of perversity pushed and promoted by Pope Francis.

In all of these discussions, the presumption is that the College of Cardinals will elect the next Pope. However, those who are expert in jurisprudence and all who spend the time to read the Papal Law on Conclaves, and how the election must proceed, know that it is quite possible this will not be the case, if there are two voting blocs of intransigent parties in the College of Cardinals.

And this is because of the rules laid down by Pope John Paul II, in the papal law for papal elections: Universi Dominici Gregis, the English translation of which is linked above in the image above. Note however, that the English translation is not the authoritative version. Only the Latin original is.

In that papal law, to be elected, one has to receive the absolute majority of votes from the Cardinal voters who are present for the Conclave (UDG, Chapter V, n. 62). This means, 2/3rds of the votes, and if the number of Cardinals is not divisible by three into a whole integer, 2/3 +1 extra vote.

So in the case that there are two blocs, neither of which will consent to the election of any candidate proposed by the other, and if each of these blocs contain at least 1/3 of all the Cardinal Electors, plus one, then even just one of these blocs can prevent a valid election of the Roman Pontiff by the College of Cardinals, indefinitely.

In such a case, there would remain only one other way for the valid election of a Roman Pontiff: namely an election by Apostolic Right, which would allow the clergy of the Church of Rome (Diocese of Rome and the Suburbican Dioceses) along with the faithful of this Church to elect the next Pope by acclamation, inspiration, compromise or simply majority (50% +1) of those present for such an election.

This might seem a fanciful thought, but since Pope Francis was elected pope in this manner, and since what is at risk for the whole Church is another heresy-promoting man like Pope Francis, it may be the safest course of action for the Catholic bloc if it can muster 46 votes, while not being able to recruit for its candidate at least 92 votes.

I say 46 votes, because presently there are 137 Cardinals who are eligible to vote. IF we presume that all are present for the Election, then 33% of them, plus one is 46 votes.

But for this second modality of election to take place, the Cardinal Electors would have to agree by an absolute majority vote (2/3 +1) to suspend the conclave and concede to the Church of Rome to act by its Apostolic Right.

And if so, they will have to make a public declaration, that on account of the irreconcilable differences among the Cardinal Electors, with no candidate being able to obtain the 92 votes necessary to be elected, that they have resolved to NOT elect the next pope in conclave, but cede their right by the papal law, back to the Church of Rome which has this right by Apostolic Ordinance.

But the advantages of this course of action are many, the chief of which is the salvation of souls and the unity of the Church: because there are vast numbers of Catholics who hold that Jorge Mario Bergoglio was never the true Pope, or is an antipope, or at least was one of these when he appointed a majority of Cardinal Electors. Hence, no matter whom the Cardinal Electors might elect in conclave, all these will hold the election invalid and irregular by reason of the participation of men who were named Cardinal Electors by Pope Francis, while not having the canonical mandate to do so, or at least while a manifest pertinacious heretic in schism from Christ and His Church.

Whereas, the clergy and faithful of the Roman Church, having not professed these heresies, blasphemies, errors, nor participated in Pope Francis’ idolatries and crimes against God and the local Churches and religious institutes, do and will have the moral reputation to elect a Pope acceptable to the whole Church, by reason of the unassailable right to elect the Roman Pontiff, which they exercised for 10 centuries before Nicholas II, in his Bull, In Nomine Domini, created the College of Cardinals, on April 13, 1059 A. D..

That the College of Cardinals can take such action is clear from the Code of Canon Law, canon 332 §1, which requires a legitimate election, not an election by the College, and canon 349, which merely states that the College is competent to elect the pope, not that they alone can, while making it clear that they can only elect the Pope if they do so in accord with the papal laws on these matters. This enshrines the historical fact that the College has a ministerial duty, which when impossible to fulfill can be fulled by the electorate which holds this right, not by custom, papal law, or even canon law, but by Apostolic Tradition: the entire Church at Rome.

As for the rumors that Pope Francis might change the Papal Law to allow in the first balloting or in subsequent ballotings after a dead-lock, an election by a simple majority, I think this is highly unlikely, because Pope Francis is a clever politicking manipulator, and he knows that while it is possible the Catholic faction obtain a 50% +1 majority, it is definitely impossible that they obtain a 66%+1 majority. And his purpose in destroying the Church will be served, but not so well, but a compromise candidate.

Thus, if the Catholic Faction stand united and strong, they can prevent a manifest heretic or Bergoglian from ever being elected, by following the stratagem I have outlined above.

However, if there is any other result, in the next Conclave, than a truly Catholic Pope, it is these Catholic Cardinals who are to blame. And their names should go down in infamy for having ceded to the enemies of Jesus Christ the entire flock of His lambs, for whom He shed His Most Precious Blood and endured so much infamy and shame and suffering.

Pope Francis: What we know from what his allies are and are not saying

1 Comment

An Editorial by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Those, who should be in the know, act differently when the consequences of what they know effect them personally. That is why, as far as Conservatives in the Church go, how the closest collaborators and allies of Pope Francis have acted since his entrance into the hospital on Feb. 14, 2025, gives a lot of reasons to have bright hopes for the future.

There is a saying at Rome, that “Don’t believe anything is true until it is denied”. This reflects the labyrinthine politics of the Italian culture, where the truth is rarely told. And in the present case, I find that it is a maxim fully verified.

The Pope’s O.K. Don’t Worry

At first, all the Pope’s allies insisted immediately upon his going to the hospital that there was nothing to worry about.

Yet, as we have seen there was a lot to worry about. The pope was diagnosed with pneumonia and high risk of sepsis, and just yesterday with thrombocytopenia, a low blood-platelet count.

The Pope is stable, Let’s pray for him

Then, after few days passed and no substantive news was being released — we would later learn that the Pope’s doctors said that they were acting in this way under direct orders of Pope Francis — his friends and allies, even in the press, began a single song, of “the Pope is stable”. “Stable” implied not getting worse and being in a good condition.

Yet, we see now that the Pope was anything but, his condition was critical, which means his vital signs were out of the normal bounds and that his condition has deteriorated.

Talk about a Renunciation is useless and shameful

Then, as the week moved on, and the common man began connecting the dots, it was reported that Pope Francis himself had feared he would not make it this time around at the hospital. So naturally, since it was insisted he was stable, even high Churchmen began to speak of a possible resignation. This brought quick and forceful back-lashes from Cardinals Parolin and Fernandez.

Yet, there was a half truth in this, as we have seen that the Pope’s health is not going to take a long time to recover, because he is rapidly deteriorating.

The Pope’s not out of danger, but his prognosis is for recovery

Then, Pope Francis’ allies who were not medical doctors began singing together that he was on the road to recovery. They even engineered a conference where his team gave this impression on Friday, afternoon.

Yet, we learned late Saturday, that upon rising in the morning the Pope had a serious and prolonged breathing problem, requiring high doses of oxygen and several blood transfusions.

Conclusion, with an observation

All the high clergy, whose careers were promoted by Pope Francis, are terribly worried anyone might think that he is going to die or resign. And we have seen that this worry is not a psychosis, because it is based on his real medical condition.

But this worry is very revealing. It means that they have NO CONFIDENCE at all, and perhaps even the certainty, that with Pope Francis’ exist stage left, their careers in the Church will come to an end: they see no light at the end of this tunnel.

And that means they already know that in the next Conclave the critics of Pope Francis will elect one of their own by large majority and that this pope is likely to be the Pope Restorer that we have all waited for and prayed for, for more than a generation.
