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 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.

The Triumph of the Lamb of God: Theology and Chronology

45 Comments

For as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so are My ways exalted above your ways, and My thoughts above your thoughts. — Isaiah 55:9

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

FRANÇAIS

From the foundation of the Catholic Church, Christ Jesus the Incarnate Son of the Living God, has given us everything necessary to enable His victory in us and in the world, and in particular that which will lead to the final triumph of His Church over all the powers of darkness.

For nearly 2000 years we have been guided by the Holy Spirit, who is teaching us all truth, so that we go from understanding to understanding, always in the same sense and meaning, but with greater light and clarity.

The Apostle Saint John, who was the only one to stand at the foot of His Cross, was inspired by this Same Spirit to write a most unique book of Scripture, known as the Book of Revelations, or the Apocalypse. In this book, he records a vision which the Holy Spirit gave him, while he was exiled by the Roman Emperor on the island of Patmos, in the Aegean. Nothing in that book was inserted by others, all of it is from the hand of the Apostle. And though written figuratively, it is not mere spiritual counsel or theologic symbology, it is a precise forewarning of the end times and an explanation of how we who are members of Christ’s true Flock can and will prevail with Him over all the powers of darkness.

In that book, there is an unholy trinity which wages war against the Most Holy Trinity. This unholy trinity consists of the False Prophet, the Antichrist, and the Dragon.

The Dragon is Satan, having been cast down from heaven and forced by God to take the form of a reptile. The False Prophet, as the forerunner of the Antichrist, lead the nations astray by means of false teachings which condone licentiousness and breaking God’s Laws. And the Antichrist, is the 2 horned lamb whose mouth speaks blasphemies and who demands the worship of the nations and orders the world-wide slaughter of all Christians.

Christ for His part also has two allies in this  conflict. One is the Woman, enthroned in the Sun, with the moon at Her feet. While many early Church fathers identified her with Holy Mother Church, since, as beloved of God, She will never betray Him, in modern times, Catholic Doctors and Saints have precisely identified Her as the Immaculate Virgin, the Mother of Jesus Christ, who in the history of Salvation intervenes to rescue Her children.

If we desire to know how Christ overcomes the unholy trinity, we have to look no further than the Book of the Apocalypse, which opens with this stunning vision in Apoc. 1:16:

[16] And he had in his right hand seven stars. And from his mouth came out a sharp two edged sword: and his face was as the sun shineth in his power. [17] And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: Fear not. I am the First and the Last, [18] And alive, and was dead, and behold I am living for ever and ever, and have the keys of death and of hell.

The Lamb of God, that is, Jesus Christ, the Warrior of the Most High is armed with a sword. And again in Apoc. 19:15:

And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp two edged sword; that with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God the Almighty.

And it is thus, that it is clearly indicated how the Son of God will triumph over the unholy trinity. The weapon of attack is the sword from His mouth.

This sword, therefore, is the words which come forth from the Mouth of Christ. And these are twofold: teaching and prayers.

Indeed, if we consider the teachings of Jesus Christ, His words are the very means by which our souls are saved, nourished, and defended from the Evil One. Exorcisms’ quote them. Sacraments are confected by them. Saints drove off all temptations with them. They are the lamps for our feet in the pilgrimage of this life, and the are the lights in the Temple of God, the Church, which guide us through the ages and defend Her from all error.

By His word He founded the Earth and by His word He shall slay the Antichrist, as Saint Paul teaches in 2 Thessalonians 2:8:

And then that wicked one shall be revealed whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his mouth; and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming,

By Christ’s words in prayer He has prepared two unassailable fortresses for this battle: the Immaculate Virgin and the Rock of Peter. He obtained these fortresses by the Price of His own Passion on Calvary, redeeming Mary beforehand from all stain of corruption, and obtaining His petition to the Father for Simon, as He declares, in Luke 22: 31-32:

[31] And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: [32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.

It is on account of these words, that Catholics have always had such a strong confidence and piety toward the Successor of St. Peter. For as Vatican I infallible taught, there shall forever be successors of St. Peter who in their teaching in matters of faith and morals, are infallible and who are constantly assisted by the grace of God. And all these things are the consequences of Christ’s omnipotent prayer, which I reminded all the readers of FromRome in the very first year of its publication in 2013.

The Plot of Freemasonry

The Freemasons, being unbelievers, have plotted to overthrow Holy Mother Church for nearly 300 years. And their goal, as revealed in their parade organized in the Eternal City in 1917, was to put one of their own on the Apostolic Throne. They actually have the audacity to think that if a freemason were elected Pope, that he would take over the entire Church of God for Satan.

Ofcourse they do not believe in the power of Christ’s prayer, which is the sword which comes from His mouth. So their project is foolish.

Indeed, if one considers it well, they could only succeed, if they could some how arrange that one of their own becomes what the world thinks is the Pope, but who is really an antipope. Because only an antipope could appear as Peter, but not be subject to the prayer of Christ which guarantees fidelity to God.

But this is what they achieved in the election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio in March 13, 2013. Because on that day he was elected Pope, but did NOT receive the Petrine Munus, because Benedict XVI had never resigned it.

And has we have seen for nearly 10 years, their project was succeeding.

To defeat this Masonic project, only one solution remained. And that was to make the Antipope, subject to Christ’s omnipotent prayer.

To worldly men, this was the defeat of the Church. But to those who truly believe and who trust 100% in the prayer of Christ, it is the most sublime victory. Because by this maneuver which came from the prudence of no man, Christ, the Warrior of God, has entered into the Citadel of His enemies’ power and taken back their vicar, and made him, His instrument for their defeat.

And this happened on Monday, January 30, 2023, when Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected Roman Pontiff at about 12:30 P.M., by the Assembly of the Faithful, convened in accord with apostolic right, in the Sala Michelangelo, at the Marriott Park Hotel at Rome, Italy, to elect the successor of Pope Benedict XVI, who had passed away on Dec. 31, 2022.

This is the victory which Christ wrought through the failure of many and the constancy of a few fools who believed in Him despite all appearances of defeat.

And so great is this victory, that now all the voices under the power of Satan’s delusion howl against it.

And in humility, recognizing the faith we all need to have in the power of Christ’s prayers, I publicly abandon all my previous analyses about why Pope Benedict XVI did what he did. I will leave that to the judgement of God, because now I see by a higher light, that is by Catholic Faith, that I never took that Power into account.

CHRONOLOGY OF THE TRIUMPH

And hence, I recapitulate here the articles which demonstrate the Triumph of the Lamb of God, which occurred on January 30, 2023

To understand this historical event, one must first understand well what happened on February 11, 2013 A. D.:

The Index to Pope Benedict XVI’s renunciation

Then it is necessary to understand, that, since Pope Benedict XVI never abdicated, that with his death, it was an absolute canonical necessity to elect his Successor. I spoke of this several times, after 2013, documenting the entire rationale and procedure for the election and how it was juridically and canonically valid:

St. Paul’s teaching against Globalism and the Great Reset

9 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Saint Paul of Tarsus, the great Apostle of the Gentiles, left to the Catholic Church in Thessalonika a warning which is being fulfilled in our days, which while it did not appear to those who came before us to be such, very correctly describes the rise and purpose of Globalism, its causes, and why the Lord God is permitting this world-wide tribulation in our own day.

For this reason, I will present here my English translation of St. Paul’s canonical Greek text, which I publish to give greater clarity to English speakers about this Apostolic teaching.

In this translation, I approach the text as an anthropologist, seeking to match the Greek terms of Saint Paul with their closest etymological equivalents in the terminology we are accustomed to use now-a-days.

I hope this helps you to see that the Apostle is speaking to us:

The Second Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians, Chapter 2:1-12

THE GREEK ORIGINAL

1 ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, ὑπὲρ τῆς παρουσίας τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ καὶ ἡμῶν ἐπισυναγωγῆς ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν, 2 εἰς τὸ μὴ ταχέως σαλευθῆναι ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ νοὸς μηδὲ θροεῖσθαι μήτε διὰ πνεύματος μήτε διὰ λόγου μήτε δι᾽ ἐπιστολῆς ὡς δι᾽ ἡμῶν, ὡς ὅτι ἐνέστηκεν ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ κυρίου. 3 μή τις ὑμᾶς ἐξαπατήσῃ κατὰ μηδένα τρόπον· ὅτι ἐὰν μὴ ἔλθῃ ἡ ἀποστασία πρῶτον καὶ ἀποκαλυφθῇ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῆς ἀνομίας, ὁ υἱὸς τῆς ἀπωλείας, 4 ὁ ἀντικείμενος καὶ ὑπεραιρόμενος ἐπὶ πάντα λεγόμενον θεὸν ἢ σέβασμα, ὥστε αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν ναὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καθίσαι, ἀποδεικνύντα ἑαυτὸν ὅτι ἔστιν θεός. 5 οὐ μνημονεύετε ὅτι ἔτι ὢν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ταῦτα ἔλεγον ὑμῖν; 6 καὶ νῦν τὸ κατέχον οἴδατε, εἰς τὸ ἀποκαλυφθῆναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῶ ἑαυτοῦ καιρῶ. 7 τὸ γὰρ μυστήριον ἤδη ἐνεργεῖται τῆς ἀνομίας· μόνον ὁ κατέχων ἄρτι ἕως ἐκ μέσου γένηται. 8 καὶ τότε ἀποκαλυφθήσεται ὁ ἄνομος, ὃν ὁ κύριος [ἰησοῦς] ἀνελεῖ τῶ πνεύματι τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ καὶ καταργήσει τῇ ἐπιφανείᾳ τῆς παρουσίας αὐτοῦ, 9 οὖ ἐστιν ἡ παρουσία κατ᾽ ἐνέργειαν τοῦ σατανᾶ ἐν πάσῃ δυνάμει καὶ σημείοις καὶ τέρασιν ψεύδους 10 καὶ ἐν πάσῃ ἀπάτῃ ἀδικίας τοῖς ἀπολλυμένοις, ἀνθ᾽ ὧν τὴν ἀγάπην τῆς ἀληθείας οὐκ ἐδέξαντο εἰς τὸ σωθῆναι αὐτούς. 11 καὶ διὰ τοῦτο πέμπει αὐτοῖς ὁ θεὸς ἐνέργειαν πλάνης εἰς τὸ πιστεῦσαι αὐτοὺς τῶ ψεύδει, 12 ἵνα κριθῶσιν πάντες οἱ μὴ πιστεύσαντες τῇ ἀληθείᾳ ἀλλὰ εὐδοκήσαντες τῇ ἀδικίᾳ.

MY ENGLISH TRANSLATION

1 We beseech you, brothers, in regard to the Parousia of Our Lord,* Jesus Christ, and our being-gathered together with Him, 2 so that you might not be suddenly driven mad, neither by spirit nor by word, nor by a letter as if from us, that the Day of Christ has begun.

3 Let no one deceive you in any manner: for (it shall not) unless the Apostasy come first and the revelation of the man of misdirection, the son of the extermination, 4 who is set up against and lifted above all that is called “God” or which is held in awe, so that he be enthroned in the Temple of God as God, to prove himself to be God.

5 Do you not recall, that when I was still among you I spoke of these things to you? 6 And now you have seen what is preventing the revelation of this one in his own time.

7 For the mystery of amorality is already deep at work: the prevention, now until he appears in our midst. 8 And then the amoral one will be unmasked, whom the Lord will neutralize with the breath of His mouth and with the blazing light (epiphany) of His Parousia.

9 whose coming is according to the deep-work of Satan with all the talents and  marks and catchy-slogans of misrepresentation;

10 And unto an elaborately hatched scheme of misdirection against those being exterminated, because they did not receive the love of the truth, unto their own salvation.

11 And for this reason, God will send upon them an inclination of dissipation, such that they believe the misrepresentation. 12 so that all who disbelieved the truth, but who were content in the misdirection, might be segregated apart.

+ + +

The Apostle continues, by explaining that we Catholics have been rescued from all this if we attend to the truth of the Gospel and hold fast to all which the Apostles has handed down to the Church for our salvation.

* The Parousia of the Lord Jesus Christ, is His Royal official visit to take possession of His domain, His Second Coming, Advent and judgement of this world and all of humanity. A royal official visit is when the King comes with His court and all His soldiers and sets everything aright as it should be according to His will for his estates.

Ancient Tablet of Curses confirms Old Testament Chronology

6 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Catholic and Jewish scholars until the 1700’s were in agreement that the first 5 books of the Bible were written c. 1450 B. C..  (These books are known as the Pentateuch, and among the Jews, or in biblical terms, as the Law).

But in the 18th Century scholars who were Frankists began to attack that chronology and assert that these books were written hundreds of years later, putting in doubt the historicity of the texts of Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus and Deuteronomy.

In my tract, “30 Principles for the Scientific Study of Scripture”, I demonstrated how this novel hypothesis was in fact incredible, that is, required us to hold as true more than 30 errors of forensic science.

I demonstrated at the end of my tract, that the real chronology, as contained in the Pentateuch itself was eminently credible and consistent with everything so far known about that epoch.

And on Thursday, the Houston Chronicle published news which confirms that traditional understanding. Click the image above to read it.

While the tablet of curses which was discovered does not contain a biblical text, it does contain the same style of Hebrew contained in the Pentaeuch, which is a very strong linguistic-cultural artifact demonstrating that the time in which the Pentateuch was written was in fact c.1500 B. C., and thus in total harmony with the chronology presented in books of Genesis and Exodus.

Noteworthy too, that in the period in which Moses wrote, wherein he never hesitated to write the name of the Living God, with the Tetragramaton, corresponds with this tablet, where they wrote that Name on clay, baked it, and ostensibly tossed it in the grave of a cursed individual.

This is another strong argument, why it is licit for us Christians, the adopted sons of God to name that Name in prayer or song, a position which I hold in contradistinction with that of Pope Benedict XVI, who instructed Catholics not to use the Name in songs.

The idea of never naming the Name comes from a practice which is arguably as old at the 3rd to 2nd centuries B. C., when the Old Testament was translated into Greek at Alexandria. All our Bibles today follow that practice. So when you read “the Lord”, or “God” in your English language Bible, you are actually being presented with a manufactured translation, because where you read, “the Lord”, your bible should read, “Yahweh”, and where you read “God”, your Bible should read, “Elohim”.  The first name means, “I AM”, and the second means, “The Heavenly Ones”.  That the second Name is in the plural is explained by the Fathers of the Church to be a manifest indication that the One True God is the Most Holy Trinity, one in being, but Three in Persons.

Our Lord Jesus Christ prophesied the Satanic Scamdemic

16 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Now that the world is in the death spirals of a global conspiracy to psychologically debilitate, disorientate and control all of humanity and subject them by a state sponsored campaign of misinformation, terrorism and dictatorial threats and decrees, it behooves us Christians to seek counsel in the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, for a great battle is upon us, and we will not survive this without Him.

Our Lord warned us of these things the week before He was arrested by the High Priests of the Temple and taken before Pilate, falsely accused, condemned unjustly, whipped to blood, crowned with thorns, and crucified by Roman soldiers upon the hill of Golgotha, outside the holy city of Jerusalem, with His face turned towards Rome.

These are His words, which He uttered in the Temple, at the beginning of April, in 33 A. D. (cited from the English translation known as the Douay-Rheims Bible):

And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly. 35 For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come, and to stand before the Son of man.

(Gospel of St. Luke 21:34-36)

What most commentators until our present times have failed to notice is that these words of Our Lord cannot be applied to the His sudden Return at the end of time, because Our Lord’s Return cannot be called a trap.

Clearly then He is referring to a great deception.

The Apostles confirm and explain this Teaching of Our Lord

And Saint Paul, whom He converted on the road to Damascus and sent as a teacher of righteousness among the nations, explained this prophecy of Our Lord, which was recorded by St. Luke, the disciple and secretary of St. Paul himself. Take note of the passage I have bold faced here in the Apostle’s Letter to the Thessalonians:

For the mystery of lawlessness already works; only [there is] he who restrains now until he be gone, 8 and then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall consume with the breath of his mouth, and shall annul by the appearing of his coming; 9 whose coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, 10 and in all deceit of unrighteousness to them that perish, because they have not received the love of the truth that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God sends to them a working of error, that they should believe what is false, 12 that all might be judged who have not believed the truth, but have found pleasure in unrighteousness.

(St. Paul, 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12)

Now this is exactly what we are seeing in the Scamdemic. 60-90% of humanity has accepted the lie that there is a Pandemic and that the DeathVaxx is good and necessary, and though we might try to reason with them with facts and evidence, they are impervious to the truth, because they love lying and love lies and have already in their hearts chosen to live according to lies and in lies.

As for Scripture, St. Paul speaks from an Angelic point of view, by attributing to God the sending of the “working of error”. This does not mean that God causes it, but that God permits it as a punishment.

Finally, St. Paul’s term, “a working of error”  or “working of delusion” (ἐνέργειαν πλάνης) is a good description of what we mean by the Scamdemic: a long-belabored plot of lying to deceive the whole world.

So what is this trap and snare of which Our Lord warns us?

He says that those who are given up to the lusts of this world would be at risk, and therefore He urges us to live humble, penitential, mortified and sober lives of faith and prayer to not be entrapped.  Therefore, this snare must include some offer which binds the person who accepts it and brings them to destruction.

St. John the Apostle speaks of this deception and snare in his Book of the Apocalypse. For in Chapter 13:16-18, he makes it clear that there will be a threat upon all of humanity to take a mark, which contains a number, and without it you will not be able to participate in society:

And it causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bondmen, that they should give them a mark upon their right hand or upon their forehead; 17 and that no one should be able to buy or sell save he that had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of its name. 18 Here is wisdom. He that has understanding let him count the number of the beast: for it is a man’s number; and its number [is] six hundred [and] sixty-six.

This then is the snare or trap. It will be demanded out of the working of error, or long planned system of lies, and it will be demanded of all men on the face of the earth.

And the beloved Apostle clearly indicates that this mark will cause a continual slavery and suffering, and mark which those who are faithful to Jesus refuse because it is contrary to His teaching:

And the smoke of their torment goes up to ages of ages, and they have no respite day and night who do homage to the beast and to its image, and if any one receive the mark of its name. 12 Here is the endurance of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

(Apocalypse 14:11-12)

The Apostle John also tells us the effect of receiving this Mark or character (the Greek work for Mark):

And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels: Go, and pour out the seven vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth, and there fell a sore and grievous wound upon men, who had the character of the beast; and upon them that adored the image thereof.

(Apocalypse 16:1-2)

And this is a common effect of the DeathVaxx, a skin rash covering part or all of their body, or tumors which sprout in all parts thereof. But many are also suffering in their bodies in their neurological systems or suffer a biting pain in the chest from myocardial inflammation or heart attacks.

What more do we need to know? Our Lord warned us. We must chose between Him and the DeathVaxx.

SCRIPTURE from the Douay Rheims Bible IN BLACK, Commentary by Br. Bugnolo in Red

The Fifth Trumpet

1And the fifth angel sounded the trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven upon the earth, and there was given to him the key of the bottomless pit.

In 1908, a star fell to earth. Not a star in the modern astronomical sense of the word, but in the biblical sense.  It was named the Tunguska Event. It occurred on June 30, 1908 (06/30/1908) in Tunguska, Siberia, in the territory of modern Russia, which was then part of the Russian Empire. Today experts believe it was a comet. There were no human witnesses to the immediate event, but those in the vicinity even at great distances heard it, and there were definitive signs for years afterwards. You can read more about it here.

Now what this bottomless pit be, is explained in the next verse.

2And he opened the bottomless pit: and the smoke of the pit arose, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit. 3And from the smoke of the pit there came out locusts upon the earth. And power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power:

Thus, this bottomless pit to me seems to be a place of biological experimentation where there is no depth of depravity the scientists will stop at.  This pit, may be a real institute, or it may represent corrupted medical research. In fact, at the Rockefeller University in the early 1900’s they began testing vaccines and studying how to use them to kill off humanity. The menigitis vaccines developed there and administered by Dr. Frederick L. GATES, is now known to be the direct cause of the Spanish Flue which killed 20-60 Million in 1919-1922.

Meanwhile, in the last months of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler, who was funded by the New York City Bankers, including Rockefeller, said that his party, which they created, would return in 100 years as a new religion. His party was founded in 1919.

And in fact these same NYC banks funded Bill Gates rise to wealth and backed his investment into vaccine technology more than 10 years ago (counting from 2021)

But now we come to the Corona Vaccines, which were developed as early as March 2019 according to Dr. Martin patent investigation. A vaccine containing syringe to the Apostle John might seem to be a locust, because it has a stinger, and if you crush the syringe liquid comes out. They all look alike, and there are billions of them, and they travel in shipments (swarms).  That they come out of this bottomless pit, is obvious, since they are created by a medical industry which has no morals whatsoever, and as the Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates admit, are designed to genocide humanity.

4And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree: but only the men who have not the sign of God on their foreheads. 5And it was given unto them that they should not kill them; but that they should torment them five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man. 6And in those days men shall seek death, and shall not find it: and they shall desire to die, and death shall fly from them.

These Vaccines were based on chimeric science, where parts of different living organisms are melded together.

7And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle: and on their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold: and their faces were as the faces of men. 8And they had hair as the hair of women; and their teeth were as lions: 9And they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was as the noise of chariots and many horses running to battle. 10And they had tails like to scorpions, and there were stings in their tails; and their power was to hurt men five months.

The Vaxx campaign is faililng, because after about 5 months no one who has not yet taken it, wants it.  And what is the purpose of this campaign, to exterminate humanity, thus:

And they had over them 11A king, the angel of the bottomless pit; whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek Apollyon; in Latin Exterminans,

12One woe is past, and behold there come yet two woes more hereafter.

And now for the next woe, which will be God’s punishment upon all who took the vaxx willingly.

The Sixth Trumpet

13And the sixth angel sounded the trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the great altar, which is before the eyes of God, 14Saying to the sixth angel, who had the trumpet: Loose the four angels, who are bound in the great river Euphrates.

So watch carefully the news from Mesopotamia. The Horsemen cometh, and they cometh from the Euphrates river.

15And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year: for to kill the third part of men. 16And the number of the army of horsemen was twenty thousand times ten thousand. And I heard the number of them. 17And thus I saw the horses in the vision: and they that sat on them, had breastplates of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone, and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions: and from their mouths proceeded fire, and smoke, and brimstone. 18And by these three plagues was slain the third part of men, by the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 19For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For, their tails are like to serpents, and have heads: and with them they hurt.

Slightly more than one third of humanity has now taken the Vaxx willingly. And in the secret which Our Lady revealed to Melanie, Our Lord to punish “His enemies” will send His holy angels to slay them all. Whether by supernatural intervention or by sending a common cold which will kill those whose immune systems have been destroyed by the Vaxx, I do not know.

20And the rest of the men, who were not slain by these plagues, did not do penance from the works of their hands, that they should not adore devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood, which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21Neither did they penance from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.

This last is a warning to all of us who have not been vaxxed. We need to do a lot more than simply staying in good physical health. We need to repent of seeking and adoring anything else, but the Most Holy Trinity of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Get  yourself right with God. Make a good confession, as it may be your last.
