#YWENeedCatholicPope to Restore the True Catholic Faith

Leave a comment

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

ENGLISH TRANSCRIPTION

What amazes me so much about my contemporaries is that nearly all Catholics seem to have become pharisees who are obsessed with the gnats which are details of insignificant or minor issues, but swallowing camels, ignore the most important aspects of reality.

Nearly all sane and right-believing Catholics today realize that there are grave problems in the Church, and the chief source of these problems is the Sacred Hierarchy, especially those in control of the Vatican, since the death of Pius XII.

The most right headed, objective and sane response, then, should be to put into power at the Vatican true and faithful Catholics.

But of that no one speaks, and I know not why, since for nearly a thousand years, from Constantine to the Council of Florence, Catholics, clerical, religious and lay battled it out in nearly every generation to make sure a holy man would be exalted to the Apostolic Throne, as the successor of Saint Peter, the Apostle.

But Catholic influencers since Vatican II have acted little more than programed bots which remain firmly within the boundaries of a narrative which excludes that history and any mention of that history.

And, as I have lamented this for nearly 6 years, I know that you can lament all you want, but for some reason, it’s very hard to break through the blindness and obstinacy of many Catholics who absolutely refuse to belong to the Church which once was, even if they call themselves “Conservatives”, who fight to conserve nothing, “Traditionalists”, who are traditional only in rubrics, or “Sedevacantists” who say there have not been legitimate popes, but do nothing to see that there be a legitimate pope.

As I was born during the Second Vatican Council, and have been using the internet since 1991, I have seen nearly all of this psychosis in person and for long years, and I am utterly sick and tired of it. As I enter the twilight years of my own mortal existence, I am determined to go out fighting, to have back the Church which was from of Old and to fight as my forefathers of old fought. I am determined to act as one of their sons, and not as a bastard who knows not his father or forefathers.

The Kind of Pope we need

We need a Catholic Pope who is going to govern and teach, not according to any limits imposed by the world, the flesh, or the sons of the Devil, that is freemasonry.

And that means that first of all we need a Pope to abolish Vatican II and the entire liturgical form. We need a Pope who, in the knee jerks of his own habits of mind, recognizes that the rules of prayer and true spirituality were worked out by the Saints of old, and cannot be improved upon. And we need a Pope who has the humility to actually pass on what the Saints of old handed down. Thus, we need a pope who is not going to fight to restore 1962, but rip up everything which led to the disaster of Vatican II. And that means we need a man as Pope who fears God and truly loves His little lambs, by desiring to feed them only the top quality, organic fodder which the Holy Ghost and the Saints of old cultivated.

And, of course, that also means we need a Pope who loved Our Lord and His Immaculate Mother, our Queen and Corredemptrix, as an a priori sine non qua condition of faith, that is, he has to be a man who accepts all what has always been believed in the manner in which the Saints of old handed it down, not as a deposit to be questioned and cleansed, but as a sacred repository of what cleanses and prepares a man for eternal life, a medical kit, which has to be used and not put in a museum.

Part of the problem why we have had no such men sit on the throne of Saint Peter in a long, long time, is because modern life cultivates petty and carnal men, obsessed with virtue signalling, not men who are magnanimous, noble-hearted, chaste and militant; men who have not the wisdom to snap out of the matrix of lies which has been woven over the nations by intelligence agencies and masonic lodges, rather than men who truly believe every word of Scripture, who truly mean every prayer they utter, and truly strive not only to do the minimum, but ponder constantly how they can serve the Lord in a manner which is ever greater, in a purity which is ever more sincere, and with a love which never stops growing.

For all these reasons, the Save Rome Project, is the best, greatest and in practice only hope left, among the initiatives of men. And in this year of Our Lord’s Incarnation of 2025, He has allowed the conditions to arise, where men and women with such zeal for God can at last work together to put such man on the throne of Saint Peter, if they just wake up and snap out of the lethargy, fears and personal preoccupations which have neutralized hundreds of millions of Catholics for 70 years.

Our Lady assaulted by the Heretical Schismatic Leo XIV

A confutation by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

FRENCH

I told you so.

To all my readers: I told you so.

To all my haters: I told you so.

To all my enemies: I told you so.

If you accept a heretic and schismatic antipope to lead you, you will end up in Hell Fire.

And to those clueless about how to find their way on the spiritual road map of life, I will give you a big hint: if it attacks our Blessed Mother, IT IS FROM HELL!

I will not analyze the offal which was published today by the pornographer who wrote 3 novels describing Jesus Christ as a pedophile.

But I will say that the Biblical Doctrine of Mary’s role in our Salvation is perfectly and precisely explained with the titles of Co-redemptrix (Corredemptrix) and Mediatrix.

And here is the Demonstration of that thesis

Here goes. I will make this explanation so easy that even a 12 year old can understand it.

Adding -ix to a word is to use it in the feminine gender.

And adding co- to a word, is to use it in reference to something accompanying.

If an industrialist says, “All my employees are my collaborators”, he uses the word in an appropriate way just as when he says, “My wife is my collaborator”, though the context sets the conditions for the full signification, since this adjective or title garners its meaning from the principal agent to which it refers.

Now in the order of human generation, we know that both father and mother contribute equally the material necessary to conceive a new human life. Thus they are collaborators in an even more special manner since each is a collaborator to another.

But in the order of artificial manufacture, the assistants to the master sculpter are collaborators to him, but not he to them.

So as regards the title, “Corredemptrix”, heretics object, because they argue, that Christ alone redeems us, and there is no one who can be called a collaborator, since that would imply that what they did was somehow equal to what Christ did.

And this argument, as you can now see, is a fallacious argument built upon an undistributed middle term. Because, to say that no one can do what Christ did, is to say that He did something which no one could work at the same level as him. Thus He had no collaborator.

But the question is, “What did Christ do? and how did He do it?”

And here we touch upon the most central Dogma of the Christian religion, which if denied or misrepresented, results in a heretical profession.

Because Christ did not redeem the world AS God, that is, He did not do a work which only God can do. Because men to can both die on a cross and offer their death for the salvation of others.

This is why the Church has always taught that Christ redeemed the world AS the Son of God, that is, He merited the redemption of mankind, because as the Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity, His person or title to merit was Infinite in Dignity.

And as such, even if He offered just a in prick in the pinky of He Right Hand, that would have been sufficient to redeem the world, and merit all grace for Angels and men.

And, to this extent, we can say that what Christ did no one else can do.

But WAIT one moment! — “to this extent” here means, “to merit infinitely”, that is, to merit not only all that would ever be necessary, but all beyond all measure of all that would be necessary, without limit.

And thus, Christ merits MORE than was necessary to redeem mankind.

Now the Saints of old, who understood these things, saw here a great truth.

Because at the moment of the Redemption, Christ calls our Lady, “your mother”. But in the order of generation, “mother” means one who collaborates in suchwise that the father is a collaborator with her just as much as she is a collaborator with him.

Thus, if Our Lady did not merit as much for us, as a mother collaborates in the conception of Her children, then Christ Who is Eternal Truth and JUSTICE would have lied from the Cross in the last moment of His life.

Now, I ask you, has any Christian ever said that Christ lied?

Only heretics say such things.

They say this about Christ, when He declared, “This is My Body”, “This is the Chalice of My Blood”.

But we Catholics have never even dared to utter such blasphemies. When Christ said the most important things — outside of parables — He spoke with precision and exact and proper signification.

The Saints, therefore, who believed in Transubstantion, were also led to accord Our Lady with the titles of Mother of Christians and Mother of the Church, because they believed the words of Our Redeemer, “Behold your MOTHER”.

But, how can Our Lady collaborate with Christ in a way in which we can say He also collaborated with Her?

And Saint Thomas Aquinas gives us the answer. Christ is our Redeemer because He merited. And He merited infinitely because His Person was of infinite dignity. But Our Lady also merits, as does every Christian, since in the state of grace, we can all merit.

But Our Lady participated most intimately in the Incarnation and in the Redemption, for She was there in person, as Mother, and fully collaborated with Faith, Hope and Charity, spiritually and physically.

Now Mary, thus, merits.

And since She merits, She merits by the universal rule: that your merits are proportional to the dignity of your person.

Until you are baptized, you don’t merit except to have the next grace to lead you to Faith in Christ.

But once you are baptized, you merit as an adopted son of God. Which is a tremendous increase in your personal dignity.

But Mary’s dignity is beyond that of every other Christian. Indeed, it is beyond that of all the Angels of Heaven. For Her personal dignity is that of the Mother of the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity in His incarnation as man.

Thus, Saint Thomas says that She has a quasi-infinite dignity, since by the Incarnation She enters into an ontological relationship with the Infinity of God the Son.

This means, that when Our Lady merits, Her merits are quasi-infinite. And because the quasi-infinite is more than any necessary finitude, it is always greater than a necessary which arises from a finite number.

But the redemption of all Angels and Men regards a finite number of sins of a finite number of persons. Therefore, one with an infinite or a quasi-infinite dignity can merit the redemption of all these sinners and the expiation of all their sins.

And this is why Christ, our Redeemer, and the Divine Truth, called Her, our “Mother”, because She merits for us everything which He merits for us.

This means, that every grace we have, we have from God because of Christ’s Sacrifice and Mary’s perfect and sorrowful compassion in that, as foretold by the Prophet Simeon, that “a sword of sorrow shall pierce your heart so that the secret thoughts of men might be exposed”. He did not say of some men. He prophesied in regard to Her relation to all mankind.

And Christ bestows on Her a title, “your Mother”, in relation to all who are reborn in Him.

And in this way He signifies that He has collaborated with Her in a way She has collaborated with Him, equally.

And thus it is, that it is a dogma of the Faith that Our Lady is our Corredemptrix. And it follows from this that She is our Mediatrix, that is, our #2 mediator between God and men.

And to say otherwise is to speak with the forked tongue of the Father of Lies.

To deny what these titles signify, is thus heresy. And to say that these titles should not be used is a form of iconoclasm. Moreover, to say that these words confuse, is a pure lie: because once they are explained, they not only make perfect sense, but draw all Christians to the Catholic Church.

The Satanic “Obedience” which commands disobedience to Papal Law

4 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

French Translation

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Are the Children killed by the Transgendered Terrorist martyrs?

Leave a comment

+ + +

Editor’s Note: In the teaching of Catholic theologians there are two kinds of martyrdom, each of which merits that the victims’ souls are taken immediately to the Paradise of Heaven, to be with God and Our Lady, the Saints and Angels forever.

The first kind is the Catholic who witnesses to his faith and is killed in hatred of the Catholic Faith, but was given the chance to renounce his faith as a way out of being killed. This includes Catholics such as Saint Stephen, the first Martyr, killed by the Pharasees and Saducees in Jerusalem, to the Catholic clergy, religious and laity killed during the Spanish Revolution by the Republican forces.

The second kind are Catholics killed in hatred of the Faith who were never given a way out, like the Holy Innocents killed by King Herod, or the tourist in Egypt, wearing a Jesus tee-shirt, who is killed by a Muslim sharp shooter from a distance, for wearing that shirt.

The children shot at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minnesota were at Mass when they were killed. They were killed by an individual who professed hatred for Jesus Christ.  Their ages were 8 and 10 years old. Thus, it appears that these children who died are likely martyrs in the second sense. — I say likely, because I assume they were not living in habitual mortal sin.

Can they be canonized one day? Yes, maybe. Children killed for being Catholic have been canonized, such as St. Simeon of Trent, a baby boy, who was murdered in a passover ritual by a heretical group of Jews in the Middle Ages, was raised to the dignity of the altars by the Church.

How is it that one can go straight to heaven simply because someone kills you because you are a Catholic? — Because such hatred is directed theologically at God Himself, the founder of the Christian religion, and hence is directed at the Divine Name Which is of Infinite Dignity. Therefore, the merit of such a death is in a certain sense worthy of infinite recompense, even if the Catholic killed did not positively by an interior act choose to die as a martyr, as in the above described First Category of martyrdom.

The author of the above article never opened up a book of theology, so cannot answer the question of whether these children are martyrs. Another example of professional incompetence.

Since Transgendered Terrorists kill Christian children because they, the terrorists, hate normality or hate Christianity for excluding all approval for their self-mutilation, it is more probable than not, that all Christian children, at that age, killed by all such terrorists are martyrs in the sight of Jesus Christ our God, Who made it absolutely clear, that all who are “little children” according to faith, are qualified to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

While this might seem too wide of a category, even Saint Alphonsus dei Liguori holds and taught that non-Catholic Christian children are presumed not to be separated from the Church if they have been validly baptized and have not yet attained to the age to be able to ask the question, “Which Christian Church is the true one?”

However, what distinguishes the First and Second Categories of martyrs is this: that those who choose rather to die for Christ with at least attrition for their sins expiate their sins, even if they were previously habitually in mortal sin; but those of the second category do not, unless they had just made an act of perfect contrition or had recently gone to confession, since their martyrdom did not depend on a free will act that they made to die rather than deny the Faith.

For this reason, there are two different ways we should respond in prayer to such martyrs:

Can we pray to them, seeking their intercession? While the Church has not yet approved any public cult, we can in private pray to the First Category of such martyrs, since it is more probable that theologically that they are now in Heaven. And if martyrs of the second category had a good moral reputation, we can also pray to them in private seeking their intercession.

Can we pray for the repose of their souls? Martyrs of the First Category, if they were not living in habitual sin, should not be offered prayers for the repose of their souls, but martyrs of the second category should have such prayers offered for them, since we cannot be sure in general that they were in the state of grace when they died.

Biblical Exegesis, Faith

A Catholic Priest, by his very nature, is an Ambassador of God

8 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

I recently had a private discussion with one of the top theologians in the Catholic Church, whose expertise and writings I have admired for nearly 30 years. — When the topic of ‘Fiducia supplicans’ came up, I remarked that the document clearly contains heresy, and he disagreed.

So I replied thus: “I disagree, FS is clearly heretical and is equipollent to pure apostasy, because it is the perennial teaching of the authentic magisterium of the Church that a priest, after ordination, acts in the Name of God in every priestly act he accomplishes, even if he does not name the name of God. Therefore to say that he can give such person a blessing without invoking that Name is simply a pure heresy against the Catholic teaching on the intimate and inextricable nature of the priesthood and the Divine Name.”

Reconsidering this, not to change my view, but to find a strong Scriptural argument for my position, I referred to the infallible teaching of Saint Paul the Apostle, co-founder of the Church here at Rome, who said in his Second Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 5, speaking of himself as a priest of God:

“For Christ, we are the ambassadors of God, as though God is speaking through us …” (2 Cor 5:20)

But since in my studies, I have rarely referred to the Greek text of Saint Paul, since I do not read Greek, I took a look to understand better what Saint Paul meant. Here is the Intralinear text, showing the Greek and English side by side (Click the image to enlarge, but click HERE to go to the soure):

+ + +

What you can see is, that when Saint Paul says, “we are ambassadors”, he is using the Greek verb, “πρεσβεύω”, translitterated in Latin letters as, “presbeus”. If you are good at languages, you might notice that that word is very similar to “presbyter”. And you would be right, since presbyter is the substantive derived from that verb.

The conclusion therefore is totally amazing, and confirms the Catholic Faith that we all hold, since the very verb which means “we are ambassadors” is the same verb from which we get the word, “priest”, which is derived from the Greek “presbyter”!

This means, that we would be 100% accurate to say “ambassador” instead of “priest” since both words mean the same thing!

Or in other words, it is the teaching of Saint Paul the Apostle that the very nature and essence of the Catholic Priest is that of an Ambassador of Jesus Christ, our God.

This scriptural discovery confirms, what I said to this top theologian, that Fiducia supplicans is not only heretical but counsels apostasy, because it wants priests to give a blessing as a priest, without invoking the Divine Name as His ambassador. Thus it is suggesting a priest could be a priest while not being a priest of Christ, but a priest of sodomy and immorality!

This is why any priest, whatever liturgy he offers, who tolerates in the smallest way the abominable suggestions contained in ‘Fiducia supplicans’ has in betraying his very self, denied the ontological bond he receives in the Sacrament of Orders, with his Lord and Master, his God and King, his Savior, Redeemer, and High Priest.

Here is a list of the meanings of the Greek verb:

The illegal Conclave has given birth to the Church of the Antichrist

THE GUILT, THE CURSES OF THE SAINTS & THE PUNISHMENTS BY THE CANONS

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Per la Versione Italiana clicca QUI

In the middle ages, the Saints denounced antipopes, who were doctrinally Catholic, as antichrists. To us moderns this may seem extreme, since these antipopes’ only crime was claiming the papacy with the backing of secular power in a manner that violated the rules.

Yet, the illegally conducted Conclave of May, 2025, has given birth to a far greater horror: the conspiracy of the entire College of Cardinals, even the non-Electors, in the formation of a fake Church, the Church which merits the name of the Antichrist, because the election not only violated the rules on procedure, but violated the requirement that a Catholic be elected.

Make no mistake and do not deceive yourselves any longer: by adhering to a man who is invalidly elected and who is a formal manifest heretic in his acceptance of the heresies of Bergoglio, which consist in the absolute rejection of Apostolic Tradition as an essential criterion for Faith and pastoral ministry, the College of Cardinals have constituted formally a Schismatic Heretical Fake Church, which has so far succeeded with the 100% consent of Trad Inc. and Alt-Trad Inc., as well as all conservative and liberal “catholic” media, into deceiving 90+% of the Catholic world into thinking that Prevost is the Roman Pontiff, when the truth is that he is a godless fraud in the full sense of both words.

The trajectory of a conspiracy which, on principal, rejects Apostolic Tradition, is 100% diabolic and satanic: for it proposes a Christianity without any historical or physical contact with the real historical Jesus Christ, and turns “faith” into “fiction” and “salvation” into “feel good” or “useful”.

Now that 90 days have passed,* God will start withdrawing grace from all the acts of the clergy who join themselves to this antichristic reality. And if you don’t believe how serious the situation is, just read the curse written by two Saints — Saint Hildebrand and Saint Peter Damian — who counseled Pope Nicholas II, in the Synod of Rome in 1059 to decree a curse (in his Bull, In Nomine Domini) upon all who would violate the rules of a Papal Election, even if the man they promoted was NOT a heretic. So you can be sure the curses, for uniting oneself to a fake AND heretical “selected” antipope, are FAR, FAR, FAR worse:

§4. On which account, if anyone has been elected, or even ordained, or enthroned, against this Decree of Ours promulgated by Synodal sentence, whether through sedition, and/or presumption, or any guile, let him be cast down by the Divine Authority and that of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, by a perpetual anathema with his promoters and supporters and followers as one separated from the thresholds of the Holy Church, just as the Anti-Christ, both invader and destroyer of the whole of Christendom, and let no audience be given him over this, but let him be deposed from every ecclesiastical grade unto whatever was before his, without any objection made, to whom if anyone whatsoever adheres, and/or exhibits any kind of reverence as to the Pontiff, or presumes to defend him in anything, let him be abandoned by equal sentence, which if anyone shows himself to be a violator of this sentence of Our Holy Decree, and has tried to confound the Roman Church by his presumption, and to raise disturbance against this Statute, let him be damned by perpetual anathema and excommunication, and let him be reputed among “the impious“, who “shall not rise again in judgement” (Psalm 1:5), let him know the wrath of the Omnipotent One against him, and that of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, whose Church he has presumed to fool, let him know a ravaging madness in this life and in the future; “Let his dwelling become deserted, and let there be no one who dwells in his tents” (cf. Psalm 69:26): “Let his sons be orphans, and his wife a widow” (Psalm 108:9), “Let him be shaken completely” (cf. Psalm 108:10) to madness, and “may his sons go about begging, and be cast out of their dwellings” (Psalm 108:10). “May the money-lender ravage all his substance, and may the foreigner lay waste all his labors” (Psalm 108:11); “Let the whole world fight against” (cf. Wisdom 5:21) him, and let all the other elements be against him, and may the merits of all the Saints, at rest, confound him and in this life may they show open vengeance upon him.

(Source: Br. Bugnolo’s translation of the Papal version
of the Bull of Nicholas II, In Nomine Domini)

Note Well: This curse not only extends to the antipope and the Cardinals who voted for him, but to everyone who claims he is the pope, defends as legal his illegitimate election or who denies his heresies. And the longer the time passes from the election, the less the moral grounds of excuse all those who failed to do the due diligence, will have, which due diligence is what the most basic right reason demands at all elections, especially one in which 80% of the Cardinal Electors adhered to the heresies and blasphemies and perversions of Bergoglio.

This is why the “Save Rome Project” is not just about saving the Papacy from the hands of fraudsters and heretics: it’s about the salvation of all souls on earth until the end of time, for without a legitimate election of a Catholic Pope, the Church founded by Christ will disintegrate and the Graces of Salvation shall dry up.

+ + +

In addition to the above curses, which show how depraved and immoral is the thing the Cardinals did, there is also in the Code of Canon Law the most severe penalties: immediate and without the necessity of any judgement: the Excommunication of Prevost and all the Cardinals, in accord with canon 1364, and the loss of all right to celebrate the Sacraments, Sacramentals, or exercise any munus, ministerium, or office in the Church, as per canon 1331 §1. Those Bishops and Clergy who refuse to investigate the validity of the Conclave as well as those who hearing the claim it was invalid, but refuse to investigate, also share in these punishments because they share in this crime of schism. Thus, all ordinations of Bishops, priests and deacons will become illicit, as well as all the conferrals of the Sacraments of Penance and Marriage, all judgements in Tribunals where the judges adhered to the Schism, and all nomination of Bishops and Pastors by Prevost and those Bishops in communion with him.

The principle of “supplet Ecclesia” — which holds that in common error of law or fact the Church supplies the liceity of the Sacraments — cannot be invoked by those who are morally responsible to recognize the discrepancy of how the Conclave was conducted with the norm of law, and thus the invalidity of the election by 133 Cardinal Electors, not to mention that the man selected is a formal manifest heretic: that moral responsibility resides first among all the Cardinals, all the personnel in the Vatican City State, and all the Bishops and Major Superiors. These cannot appeal to ‘supplet ecclesiae’, because when one knows that the results of the Conclave are questionable at the level of right or that the one elected is a formal manifest heretic, BUT continues to recognize him as Christ’s Vicar, one has no excuse in Church Law from being legally complicit in the crimes of heresy and schism, whereas ‘supplet ecclesia’ only applies to ignorance in good faith, not out of bad will.

This is why those Catholic influencers who know of the reports and legal arguments published here at FromRome.info but insist on squelching any discussion of these issues are not only doing something which is highly unethical or abusive of their readers’ trust in them, but are involved in a deeply diabolic and satanic act of deception, which can potentially cause millions to be damned. This is why I have repeatedly rebuked them for their grave, monstrous and perverse immorality.

By Baptism we each have the most grave and solemn duty to conform our thoughts and actions to the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Any moral act we do to conceal the truth from those who have the right to know, especially  in such momentous questions as who is the pope, is thus one of the most horrid betrayals of our Baptismal promises and causes the perpetrators of such to unite themselves morally and spiritually to the Father of Lies.

-* In the Roman Church, 90 days is the traditional and customary period in which one awaits a response or change in behavior of another. Assuming that there is still some honest Catholic in the Roman Curia, Vatican, or College of Cardinals, or Clergy of Rome who has already informed the Cardinals that they could not vote 133 of them at the same time and that they had to vote for a Catholic, who did not deny revealed doctrine or reject the authority of the Apostles. — Thus, that the Cardinal Electors and Prevost have not addressed this fraud, by now, demonstrates their intention to continue in it.

The Heresy of classical Sedevacantism

5 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

“Sedevacantism” is the term for the ideological position that there has not been a legitimate occupant of the Apostolic See, that is of the Catholic Bishopric Diocese of Rome, since time X, because long ago there was some secret conspiracy during a conclave which rendered that conclave invalid.

Those who hold such positions, for the most part, either go back to the Conclave of 1958 or that of 1963. These are called “sedevacantists”, and I call them “classical” because of new types such as those who hold after the death of Pope Benedict XVI there can no longer be valid popes — a thesis encouraged by Andrea Cionci and Don Minutella, here in Italy.

But one of the core theological positions often found with classical Sedevacantism is that the ritual for the consecration of Bishops in the New Rite after Vatican II cannot validly effect the consecration of a Bishop.

There are a number of problems with their position, such as this, that they reject the principles of sacramental theology explained so well by Saint Thomas Aquinas and sustained by Saint Alphonsus dei Liguori.

Their chief motivation for adopting this denial is to justify their conspiracy theories about invalid conclaves and invalid popes. They say, for example, that Pope Benedict XVI could not validly be a pope because he was never validly consecrated as a Bishop, even though his principle consecrator, Msgr. Josef Stangel, was consecrated a Bishop in 1957, in the “Old Rite”.

The problem with this theological position of theirs regarding episcopal consecrations is that the formula or prayer used during the new rite for the ordination of Bishops is modeled nearly word-for-word with those used by the Maronites and Copts from time immemorial, at least from the 4th Century after Christ.

So if these formulae or prayers, which form the essential part of the very act of consecrating a Bishop, were not able to validly consecrate a celibate Catholic man as a Bishop, these Churches would then not have valid sacraments of the Eucharist, Ordination, Penance, Extremunction and Confirmation.

But the Roman Church has always regarded these eastern Rites as having valid sacraments.

So if you sustain the position of classical Sedevacantists, you have to admit that the Roman Church fell into error with these two other Churches before the 4th century A. D., and that therefore the Roman Church is not a legitimate Church, and its Bishops have never been true successors of the Apostle Saint Peter.

However, being inconsistent, classical Sedevacantists will claim that their position against the ordination of Bishops in the New Rite is based on the teachings of Pope St. Pius X and Pope Leo XIII!

I hope you now can see that Sedevacantists who hold such a theological position against the validity of episcopal consecration in the Novus Ordo are actually a form of extreme protestant who believes that the Church fell away from Christ in the first centuries, and that they alone are true Christians, since their private personal judgement is the only thing infallible since Christ ascended into Heaven, and if you do not bend to their magisterium of error you will be damned.

The reality is however that they are heretics and schismatics far worse than any form of heretic and schismatic since the time of the Donatists in 5th Century North Africa, and that they surely will be damned in the worst pits of hell for attacking the very legitimacy of Holy Mother Church from ancient times.

What these classical Sedevacantists are doing, in addition, is diverting the attention of Catholics away from the deficiencies in the New Rite towards the bogus argument denying validity. These ideologues actually have a very shallow understanding of the Sacraments and ignore totally the impetratory and sanctificatory nature of prayer and ritual. — The true Catholic position, however, is that, in the New Rites, in which many rituals or prayers were removed, which formerly asked more explicitly for grace, and inculcated better and more effectively the spirit of humility and the dispositions to practice theological Faith, Hope and Charity, are thereby not as able to prepare for and communicate grace to those who attend them, as the old rites were. — And by this shell game, of misdirection, Sedevacantists actually perpetuate the errors of the Aggiornamento, by creating a distraction, based on the false claim of invalidity, to terrorize and psychologically control Catholics through fear and error.

I won’t even mention that most of them cannot read Latin and know nearly nothing about how to make theological or philosophical distinctions. Nor, that they do not actually believe what they attempt to convince others to believe, because they have never filed a canonical complaint for heresy or an invalid election against any of the Popes they reject. Never. Ever! — Even though, in the Catholic Church from at least the 18th Century, to the Code of Canon Law of 1983, if you did not denounce a heretic, within 30 days, you yourself would be suspect of heresy.

It is good and sane to keep in mind, that consecration as a Bishop of itself does not guarantee that a man be holy or even honest, nor does it make him impossible to fall into error. All the Bishops who approved of Vatican II were consecrated in the old rites, but that did not prevent them from being beguiled by the notion of “aggiornamento” (updating). Contrariwise, just because a Bishop is ordained in the New Rites does not mean he is a dishonest man, since at present in the Roman Rite, at least, it would be considered illicit to be consecrated in the Old Rite. These divisions, errors and sins in the Church can only be exorcised with a Catholic Pope, legitimately elected, at Rome. They cannot be solved by complaining and then doing nothing or running away from that battle.

Cardinal Prevost is the pied-piper into Darkness for all manners of Grifters

Leave a comment

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

An Editorial by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Birth of Neo-Sedevacantism

18 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

I first began using the Internet back in 1991, and as an apostolate in 1993, when in my former institute I was tasked by my superiors to put the entire order on the web. I am thus a sort of dinosaur, since I have 34 years of experience and generally I have seen every kind of grift there is out there, and crossed swords with not a few of the leading figures. But since 2013, a new generation of social media apostolates have been launched by laymen, all targeting Catholics and aiming to prevent them to react to the problems in the Church as Catholics of old did.

To do this, they engage in limited hangouts, the intelligence agency term for pretending to be a friend in the opposition, but doing and not doing everything necessary to prevent the opposition from unifying and acting against your paymasters.

From Feb. 11, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2023, their mantra was, “Benedict validly resigned”, and from March 13, 2013, to April 21, 2025, it was, “Pope Francis is definitely the pope”.

Most of these old guard grifters then began their new game of “Leo XIV is certainly the pope”.

This group of misinformation experts are seemingly in the direct employ of deeply dishonest stage-actors among the College of Cardinals, because their one ideological principle of unity is: Don’t you dare question the integrity or honesty of the Cardinals, and Don’t you dare take any action without their approval.

But there is a new Grift in town, laicism on steroids

Since Vatican II a lot of laymen have been pushing the Masonic Agenda of taking down the Church from within, by becoming active and influential while refusing to join the priesthood or become religious. They see the laity who are faithful has having more rights to govern the Church than bishops and priests. And they have been itching for years to grab power, a thing they could not do in the old grifter regime, which assiduously waited hand and foot on the tassels of this or that Cardinal or traditionalist Bishop.

And this new grift-theme is a thing which I call, “Neo-Sedevacantism”.

The apparent leader of this movement appears to be Chris Jackson, who for 13 years has written articles using as his personal photograph, the photo of a journalist from 1940, back in the first years of press control by the then Department of War. It’s not glizy but it’s very retro looking.

His circle appears to include Nicholas Owens and Steve Kokx, at the very least. Frank Walker of Canon212.com is strongly promoting them and all their posts, as if they suddenly graduated from the school of journalism and were running professional newspapers. By all accounts none of them has any credentials to write on topics of Faith, Theology or Canon Law.

I am not even sure if “Chris Jackson” exists, because it seems to be a nom-du-plume for a group of writers, since he publishes much to much material of various topics to imagine that he is a dad holding down a full time job anywhere. He may be a priest writing under an assume name, yes. But seeing that leading members of Trad Inc. from the hard right of Michael Matt to the left of center Peter Skojec have allowed him to use a fake photograph for more than a decade, he must be someone or some group which is very influential and in an executive position in comparison to them.

This was emphasized yesterday when Steve Kokx, recently let go from LifeSite News, wrote a “Chris is the only hero of the moment” post, on his own substack, a work of such oozing propaganda, that I will let you read it on your own time, here.

Steve has not been out of a job in more than like a week and he is already in ideological lockstep with Jackson and others, in rolling out reasons to return once again to the topic of sedevacantism, while they join in a barrage of attacks on Cardinal Burke, who is not by any means or measure the only Cardinal responsible for the debacle of the last 13 years. But as they chose the standard cut-out punching bag to blame, it is for certain that they are involved in a Narrative Game, not in a Christian based ethical project.

The barbs that all of these writers place at key points in their posts on Substack, is making it more and more clear that what they are working toward, in my estimation, seems to be:

  1. A Church without a Pope
  2. A Diocese without a Bishop
  3. A Notion of fidelity to the Church which does not include submission to
    1. A Pope
    2. The Church of Rome
    3. The Sacred Hierarchy
    4. The Priesthood

I call their project “Neo-Sedevacantism”, because unlike the Sedevacantists of previous decades, who were content to say the Popes of Rome were heretics, or that the Sacraments of Vatican II were null and invalid, were scrupulous to find traditional Bishops and promote vocations of men to the traditional priesthood or of women and men to traditional religious life, they seem to want laymen to have all the influence and be the gatekeepers and founders of the whole psyop.

This new movement however, has the mantra of “Recognize and Withdraw” from the communion of the Church. They are like the Old-Orthodox in the Russian Orthodox Church, but are have arguments more substantial than how the name of Jesus is spelled in Cyrillic.

That this group is strongly backed by some other network can be seen in how many thousands of followers they are garnering in a very short time, an phenomenon which is quite disproportionate to the value and quality of their writings.

I do not exclude, because of their ideological position, and because of Frank Walker’s support, that they are backed by Russian Federation agents of some sort, since they are basically following the same lines of schism as lay-run Russian Orthodox splinter groups follow.

UPDATE: Feast of Saint Alexis, Man of God — Ann Barnhardt seems to be a supporter of Chris Jackson too, on account of her recent blog post, entitled, “I want to be Chris Jackson when I grow up“, a really hilarious title, if you know anything about Ann. But this is no surprise to me, because she nearly had a mental breakdown in the spring of 2022, when she heard I had hitchhiked to Warsaw to help Ukrainian refugees from the war. You see, she has a profound admiration for Vladimir Putin.

This circle is obviously a heretical and schismatic movement, and I urge all my readers to pay attention to the writings of anyone pushing this agenda. In your social media interactions, point out that their proposal is NOT the Catholic way. The Catholic way is helping the Church of Rome elect a Catholic Pope and supporting him against the anti-popes installed by the enemies of the Church, for it is the Roman Pontiff who is the Vicar of Christ on Earth, and it is the Roman Church which presides before all others in the charity which unifies us in the Truth which is Jesus Christ, by the charism of Her unique foundation. — And this Catholic Way has a specific project, aimed at doing the most momentous thing the Church of Rome can do in the face of this Globalist takeover of the Church by the anti-pope Leo XIV: it is called the “Save Rome Project, and you can read about it here.

Note, it is not my attention to attribute inaccurately any belief, idea or project to any person, so, if anyone mentioned in this article believes I have mischaracterized his behavior or writings, I will most willingly correct the article and/or post his brief rebuttal, here below.

The Globalist Matrix vs. Satanic Possession

6 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

REAL CHRISTIANITY

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

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

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

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

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER

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

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

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

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.

Biblical Exegesis

The Mark of Those who follow the Antichrist

23 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

There are many who write about the Antichrist, the apocalyptic figure spoken of by the Apostle Saint Paul, in his Second Letter to the Thessalonians, that is to the Church in Thessaly, northern Greece. But rarely do you hear anything said about who are the followers of the Antichrist.

Yet, Saint Paul, one of the “co-founders” of the Church at Rome describes them well in 2 Thessalonians 2:10.

First, the Greek:

.. ἀνθ’ ὧν τὴν ἀγάπην τῆς ἀληθείας οὐκ ἐδέξαντο εἰς τὸ σωθῆναι αὐτούς·

Then, my Latin:

eo quod dilectionem veritatis non receperunt ut salvi fierent.

Then, my English translation:

for this, that they had not received the love of the truth, so that they might be saved.

While the Vulgate of Jerome has, “caritatem” for “dilectionem”, that is “love”, I believe this is an error, because as can be seen from the Greek, the word here is “ἀγάπην“, or the love which arises from a free choice, which is the word used in the New Testament, every time Jesus Christ speaks of His love for us (e. g. John 15:9, καθὼς ἠγάπησέν με ὁ πατήρ, κἀγὼ ὑμᾶς ἠγάπησα· μείνατε ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ τῇ ἐμῇ.), to emphasize that He was not constrained by passion or necessity, but acted in pure liberty when He chose to save us, not on the basis of our foreseen merits, but simply because He chose to love us first before the foundation of the world.

Thus, what Saint Paul refers to here is very profound, for he identifies the followers of the Antichrist with those who refused to receive from God the Holy Spirit that infused grace so that they might freely chose to love the truth, and thus be saved.

From this we see how important from an eternal perspective it is for every Catholic to chose to love the truth. This is what distinguishes us who are working out our salvation from those who are being destroyed by the spirit of the Antichrist, who is the Man of Lawlessness.

The most authoritative ancient manuscripts of the New Testament, the Codices preserved at Mt. Sinai and in the library of the Vatican. In these two manuscripts, the man described here by Saint Paul is not called, as in all other manuscripts, “the man of sin” (ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῆς ἁμαρτίας), but “the man of lawlessness” ( ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῆς ἀνομίας). And it is this latter reading which scholars believe is the original.

Holding to their authority, we can thus say that the principal characteristic of the Antichrist will be to be violate law, to be a law breaker. The Greek term literally means “without laws” or “without morals”.

Now, if we reflect on this, and want to be very precise in what we say, let us ask ourselves the question, “How does one know, when a man is lawless?”

The answer, of course,  is that he transgresses law. But to demonstrate that, we have to find a law, and examine his behavior and show that he did (1) something which is forbidden by the law, or (2) something which is not sanctioned by the law.

And to prove that, we obviously must have recourse to the TEXT of the law, if it is a written law, or to the notion of the law, if it is unwritten law, such as Natural Law.

Thus, as a consequence, every lawless man is going to be discovered by this, that his actions do not concord with the words which express a specific law.

And all of this, now, should be clear to the regular readers of FromRome.Info, where for the past 12 years I have continually spoken of the laws of the Church and how they may or are being transgressed.

Because, if we learn what the laws of the Church are, then we can discern who are the law-breakers are, and who are those who are acting as lawless individuals.

Likewise, we also see, from the Apostle Saint Paul’s teaching in 2 Thess 2:10, that those who are led to destruction are precisely those who follow the spirit of lawlessness by submitting to those who are lead by the spirit of the Antichrist, BECAUSE THEY HAVE REFUSED TO LOVE THE TRUTH, which could have saved them: a love which would have recognized the discrepancy between the lawless’ behavior and the rule of law, and caused them to refuse to follow the lawless, simply because by loving the truth, they would have detested the breaking of the law.

So when you find that a loved one or friend refuses to accept the facts or laws of the Church regarding the scandals since 2013, I urge you to pray for them and share this teaching of Saint Paul, because it is a most terrible sign of following the Antichrist and of being headed to destruction, if someone refuses to love the truth.

This is why it is important to know what “munus” means, in Canon 332 §2, and what “ne excedat” means in Universi Dominic Gregis, the Papal Law on Conclaves, in paragraph n. 33, to cite just two examples, of two laws, which were transgressed by the College of Cardinals when they in 2013 “elected” Jorge Mario Bergoglio, and in 2025, when they “elected” Robert Francis Riggitano Prevost Martinez.

You are worshiping Satan when you practice Solidarity in a Lie

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.

What is part of The Catholic Faith, “De Fide Catholica” that Prevost denies?

We rarely hear terms defined clearly, since so much of Catholic Media today is a conversation about events and a reaction to them.

But there are terms which have a proper meaning, and which are often found in Church documents, that are poorly understood simply because no one has explained them.

One of these terms is “de fide Catholica”.  This is a Latin phrase which means “of” or “concerning” “the Catholic” “faith” or “Faith”.

The first thing you can see, is that the pithy Latin phrase can mean several things in English.

So let’s break it down.

What is Catholic faith?

Faith, in the sense of the supernatural virtue, also gives its name to truths which the supernatural virtue inclines us to believe.  Thus, it is with Catholic faith, that we believe in all the dogmas of the Catholic Faith.

So you see, capitalization is important in the English language, if we want to speak properly. And unfortunately correct use of capitalization in English is rarely found, even in theological books or Vatican Translations.

What do we have to believe by Catholic Faith?

INTERNATIONAL THEOLOGICAL COMMISSION, 1989

In 1989, Cardinal Ratzinger, as Prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in his capacity as President of the International Theological Commission, authorized the publication of a document entitled, “The Interpretation of Dogma” (link HERE), which was prepared by Msgr. Walter Kasper, when he was a professor at the University of Tubingen, Germany.

This document, despite its non binding nature, reiterates the standard definition of what is “de fide Catholica” which is found in older manuals of theology:

According to the doctrine of the Church, “an act of divine and Catholic faith must be made in what is contained in Gods word, either as it is written in Scripture or handed on by tradition and proposed by the Church, whether that be by way of a solemn decision or by the ordinary Magisterium, and the obligation to believe is demanded because it is divine revelation” (DS 3011). This “credendum” includes the truths of faith (in the strict sense) and also those truths, witnessed to by revelation, which have a bearing on the moral life (DS 1501, 3074: “fides et mores“; LG 25: “fidem credendam et moribus applicandam“).

From this we can see that all that pertains to “de fide Catholica” in the sense of the virtue of faith — we can discern this sense by the texts use of “an act of” — namely, all which “is contained in God’s word, either as it is written in Scripture or handed on by tradition and proposed by the Church, whether that be by way of a solemn decision or by the ordinary magisterium, and the obligation to believe is demanded because it is divine revelation”.

DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION ON THE CATHOLIC FAITH, VATICAN I

And this recalls the infallible teaching of the First Vatican Council, in its Dogmatic Constitution on the Catholics Faith (Constitutio de Fide Catholica), which title is referring not to the virtue but the contents of what is believed by the virtue:

Now this supernatural revelation, according to the belief of the universal church, as declared by the sacred council of Trent, is contained in which were written books and unwritten traditions, received by the apostles from the lips of Christ himself, or came to the apostles by the dictation of the holy Spirit, and were passed on as it were from hand to hand until they reached us [16]. The complete books of the old and the new Testament with all their parts, as they are listed in the decree of the said council and as they are found in the old Latin Vulgate edition, are to be received as sacred and canonical. These books the church holds to be sacred and canonical not because she subsequently approved them by her authority after they had been composed by unaided human skill, nor simply because they contain revelation without error, but because, being written under the inspiration of the holy Spirit, they have God as their author, and were as such committed to the church. Now since the decree on the interpretation of holy scripture, profitably made by the council of Trent, with the intention of constraining rash speculation, has been wrongly interpreted by some, we renew that decree and declare its meaning to be as follows: that in matters of faith and morals, belonging as they do to the establishing of christian doctrine, that meaning of holy scripture must be held to be the true one, which holy mother church held and holds, since it is her right to judge of the true meaning and interpretation of holy scripture. In consequence, it is not permissible for anyone to interpret holy scripture in a sense contrary to this, or indeed against the unanimous consent of the fathers.

So, from this we can see, that all which God has revealed, from which the Church has always drawn Her teaching on faith and morals, pertains to the Catholic Faith and must be believed by divine and Catholic Faith.

THEOLOGICAL MANUALS BEFORE VATICAN II

And we see this said in the same way, but more organized format, in Sixtus Cartechini S. J., 1951 treatise, De Valore Notarum Theologicarum (On the Force of Theological Notes), under his remarks at the end of this quotation:

Theological note: Dogma.
Equivalent terms: Dogma of faith; de fide, de fide Catholica; de fide divina et Catholica.
Explanation: A truth proposed by the Church as revealed by God.
Examples: The Immaculate Conception; all the contents of the Athanasian Creed.
Censure attached to contradictory proposition: Heresy
Effects of denial: Mortal sin committed directly against the virtue of faith, and, if the heresy is outwardly professed, excommunication is automatically incurred and membership of the Church forfeited.
Remarks: A dogma can be proposed either by a solemn definition of pope or council, or by the Ordinary Magisterium, as in the case of the Athanasian Creed, to which the church has manifested her solemn commitment by its long-standing liturgical and practical use and commendation.

Thus, we must believe by Divine and Catholic Faith all the truths revealed by God in Sacred Scripture and Tradition, which regard theological and/or moral truths. Even though we must believe by divine faith everything in Scripture, not all of it pertains to Catholic Faith, because many things revealed by God do  not regard supernatural truths or regarded the Old Covenant, which has passed away.

For example, we must believe by divine faith that God ordered the Hebrews to circumcise their sons. But we do not believe in circumcision, today, since with Christ’s Resurrection the obligation has passed away, being replaced by Baptism.

‘Fiducia supplicans’ contains, teaches and promotes what is contrary to Catholic Faith on the Priesthood, on Blessings and on the use of the Divine Name

For the above reason, we can now see more clearly why Cardinal Mueller said that Fiducia suppplicans, which says Catholic priests can bless public sinners with a non-sacramental blessing, teaches contrary to Catholic doctrine, since the Church has never taught such a thing, rather She has taught the opposite, namely, that every blessing given by a validly ordained priest has a sacramental power.  We can also now see why it is rightly said, at the same time, that ‘Fiducia supplicans” contains or teaches heresy, because the Church has always taught that priests always bless with the authority of Jesus Christ, even if they do not use the Divine Name, since this authority is the perennial basis of all blessings given by the clergy in the history of Christianity.

For to say that a priest can bless but not in the name of Christ, is to say a priest of Christ can in a morally upright way give a blessing in the name of someone else, not Christ, even though he is the ambassador of Christ, as Saint Paul teaches infallibly, and consecrated to Jesus Christ by his ordination, according to the Tradition of the Church. What ‘Fiducia supplicans’ is trying to do is to teach that a priest can be faithful by not being faithful to Christ. And that is a heresy. Though Cardinal Mueller calls it a contradiction.

It also implicitly presents an entirely novel idea of the source of authority of the priesthood, which in Tradition has always been held to be Christ’s authority. Thus ‘Fiducia supplicans’ teaches that when a priest does NOT pronounce the Name of God in a blessing, though he is a priest of Christ, he is NOT invoking the Divine Name by using his authority as a priest. But this is exactly the opposite of what the Church has always believed and taught, namely, that every exercise of priestly power, calls upon the power and Name of Divine Majesty, since the priest is not merely a ritual functionary, but is ontologically, theologically and juridically made the representative of the Living God by his ordination.

Moreover, as Cardinal Mueller points out, there are two notions of blessing in ‘Fiducia supplicans’ which contradiction one another: the sacramental and the non-sacramental. If we strip away the sacramental, which is the kind Jesus Christ instituted and ordered the Sacred Heart to keep doing until the end of time, since they act in His Person as His representatives on Earth, to watch over His flock, a thing they do by imparting His Blessings: we are left with an entirely novel doctrine where it says a priest an impart a non-sacramental blessing.

The readers who support this document did not end up confused, however, because after the publication of the document the supporters of the document began using the Diving Name to bless public sinners, while at the same time arguing verbally, while forgetting in practice, that the part of the document did not teach this, whenever they attempted to defend the document. Thus the doctrine of ‘Fiducia supplicans’ as a whole contradicts Catholic Faith on the priesthood, on blessings and on the use of the Divine Name. And each contradiction is a heresy, even though in addition to this erroneous doctrine it fosters heresy and the worse possible Sacrileges, the misuse of the Divine Name to affirm and confirm sinners in their moral depravities.

This is why Catholic Bishops in Poland, Ukraine, the Mid-East and Africa and many other parts of the world rejected the teaching contained in this document. This was the first time in history that a pope signed a document which was rejected by a large part of the episcopacy precisely because it contradicted Catholic Faith. And this is why Cardinal Prevost, in affirming that he will continue to follow Pope Francis’s Magisterium, is reconfirming his own pertinacity in heresies against the Catholic Faith.

What all this has to do with Cardinal Prevost’s Election being invalid?

And as soon as a Catholic sees that Prevosts is doing this, he can have recourse to Pope Paul IV’s, “Cum ex apostolatus officio”, which says, in n. 6:

6. Adiicientes quod si ullo umquam tempore apparuerit aliquem Episcopum, etiam pro Archiepiscopo, seu Patriarcha, vel Primate se gerentem, aut praedictae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem, etiam ut praefertur, Legatum, seu etiam Romanum Pontificem ante eius promotionem, vel in Cardinalem, seu Romanum Pontificem assumptionem a fide Catholica deviasse, aut in aliquam haeresim incidisse,

(i) promotio, seu assumptio de eo etiam in concordia, et de unanimi omnium Cardinalium assensu facta, nulla, irrita,

(ii) et inanis existat, nec per susceptionem muneris, consecrationis, aut subsecutam regiminis, et administrationis possessionem, seu quasi, vel ipsius Romani Pontificis inthronizationem, aut adorationem, seu ei praestitam ab omnibus obedientiam, et cuiusvis temporis in praemissis cursum, convaluisse dici, aut convalescere possit,

(iii) nec pro legitima in aliqua sui parte habeatur,

Which in my English translation (which is more accurate than the version at Daily Catholic, quoted here):

6. Adding, that if at any time it will have appeared that any Bishop, even if acting as an Archbishop or Patriarch, and/or Primate, or a Cardinal of the aforesaid Roman Church, even as has been aforesaid, Legate, or even a Roman Pontiff before his promotion, whether upon his assumption as a Cardinal, or as Roman Pontiff, has deviated from Catholic faith (a fide Catholica), or has fallen into any heresy (in aliquam haeresim):

(i) let his promotion or assumption, even with the agreement and unanimous consent of all the Cardinals, stand forth as null and irritus,

(ii) and void, nor be able to be convalidated or to be said to be convalidated through the susception of his munus, consecration, or subsequent rule, and possession of administration, nor even if through the enthronement as Roman Pontiff himself, or adoration, or proffering of obedience to him by all, nor through the passage of time in the same,

(iii) nor be held legitimate in any part thereof,

As can be seen, thus, that the precise conditions which we see after the Conclave of May 2025 are entirely fulfilled, because whether you already knew he spoke against the Catholic Faith before the Conclave, or recognize after the Conclave that he is speaking in the same way as before, the Bull of Paul IV, not only gives you the right to say his election was invalid, regardless of how many Catholics say otherwise, and no matter how long he claims to be the Pope, but his election and claim to office and powers, is legally rendered NULL, VOID, and IRRITUS, that is, invalid, empty of all just claim, and to be considered to have never existed in the sight of the Church and of God, since, being a Papal Bull, it falls under the precept of Jesus Christ, “Whatsoever you bound upon earth, shall be bound in Heaven; and whatever you lose upon earth, shall be loosed in heaven”, this Bull is going to be observed by Jesus Christ every time its conditions are met. (See here and here for my demonstration that this Bull is still in force of law).

In addition, Cardinal Prevost holds the heretical position that the use of Capital Punishment is always inadmissible, which contradicts the truth taught by Saint Paul and the Church, that the authority to impose this punishment was given by God to the State. For if its use was always evil, then God is evil for granting its use.  But it is of divine and Catholic Faith that God is good and all authority He grants is lawful to use, since Christ Himself approved of this when He said to Pilate: “You would have no authority over Me, if it had not been granted to you from above”.
