When will Stephen Kokx stop lying about Br. Bugnolo?

Editor’s Note: In the above article, there is a passage which links to me, under the words, “Boomer Catholic”, with no social media following, who supports the heresies of Cardinal Prevost:

I have seen a lot of dishonesty in my 30 years on the Internet, but this is obscene. If you are on substack, you can compliment Stephen Kokx — whose surname is Jewish — for having grossly and unethically lied to his “vast” following on Social Media.

I have no following on Social Media because I am NOT on social media. But let’s not allow facts to get in the way of propaganda. As for the accusation that I am “attention seeking”, I think that speaks of itself of the low moral character of an accuser who can muster no argument in his own defense.

I will also omit the obvious, that of all the sources Kokx cites in his article, I am the only one who has demonstrated forensically and canonically that Prevost is not Leo XIV, a thing “true opposition” Kokx won’t even touch, precisely because he is a classical sedevacantist, whose ideology cannot permit or tolerate any popes after whatever date they say the Church’s hierarchy all fell into heresy simultaneously.

Kokx linked “Boomer Catholics” to my article on the New Trad Inc.: an article which unmasked him and his fellow sedevacantists for running a fake opposition operation against Trad Inc. to keep Catholics in the “Leo XIV is certainly the Pope” narrative, and who are backed by “Catholics for Trump”, the organization founded by the apparently British foreigner, who seems to be of Jewish descent, Chris Jackson (an anonymous writer who has concealed his identity for more than a decade, while writing for numerous Catholic publications).

In related news, Candace Owens mentions at the end of this video that it has been a goal of Frankist Jews to fake conversion to the Catholic Faith, frequently change their names, and start publication apostolates to destroy the Church from within:

UPDATE: I apparently received a communication from Stephen Kokx — the authenticity of which I cannot confirm — in which he seems to want to claim that “Our critics” in the above cited screen shot, does not refer to the persons mentioned by name or linked to in the previous paragraph, even though the link under the word, “Boomer” goes to an article where I do criticize him. — I really do not know how to respond to someone who wants the English language’s rules of denotation and context to change so as to exculpate himself. That would not even pass evidentiary rules in a civil court. — Note, I have added a link to the origin of the surname, “Kokx”. —  For the record, in his communication to me, the author of the comment seems to want to accuse me of lying about him, and seems to make the claim that he has said nothing untrue about myself. — I say “seems”, because I do not want to impose standard rules of English grammar and syntax on the words of another person who already claims to follow other rules of signification. — However, if the comment I received is authentic, then Mr. Kokx needs to not only correct his article to conform to standard rules of English signification, wherein it is not possible to classify me as a supporter of Cardinal Prevost, AND explain to his readers how he knows about FromRome.info, but is hiding from them the fact that for more than 100 days, I have being demonstrating that the election of Prevost is canonically invalid, despite the fact that he, Mr. Kokx continues to call him “Leo XIV” and the “pope”, which, I will admit, is a far greater deception and unethical treatment of his readership, than saying or implying that I support Prevost.

Kokx interviews Mazza & they both fall into numerous errors

Leave a comment

A Critical Review by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

I really should not waste my time wading through videos which are full of errors. But as the fake “opposition” “Catholic” grifter media won’t allow the truth to be spoken, but rather attacks it either openly or by a back door in which they only interview persons who misrepresent it or make it appear foolish,* I see that it is necessary to publish a critical review of the above video, wherein Stephen Kokx, recently let go from LifeSite News and Dr. Edmund Mazza, the Catholic historian who nearly always gets it wrong on questions of ecclesiastical jurisprudence or theology, speak about the invalid Conclave of May, 2025.

Right out of the gate, Kokx shows he is a modernist who does not admit the existence of objective truth, when he asks Mazza, “Why do you believe that” Pope Benedict XVI validly resigned.  This is the standard tactic of framing a discussion in the wrong way, to prevent anyone from even daring to admit that there is an objective factual and legal reality about Pope Benedict XVI’s Declaratio and how he acted thereafter.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that Stephen’s surname is Dutch for “Son of Jacob”.

As for Mazza, he responds to this question in entirely the wrong way, with a historical textual journey into the past, rather than offering a juridical answer, the only answer which has any forensic validity to conclude the debate. For in a legal dispute, you begin with your strongest argument, not your weakest.

Then, Stephen calls Mazza a “sedevacantist”, which while Mazza objects initially, naming himself a “interregnumist”, end ups agreeing with, which just gutted his position as objectively rational and put it in the categories of conspiracy theorist or ideologue.

Then, Mazza quotes McCusker, quoting Billot, and attempts to limit the notion of heretics to those who also deny the Magisterium of the Church in addition. But he fails to realize that every pertinacious denial of a de Fide Catholica includes such a denial.

Then Stephen says he is willing to consider hearing out others who say all the popes since Pius XII heretics; doing this in such a away that clearly shows that he is probably a sedevacantist himself.

Then Mazza wrongly states that the Cardinals of antipopes in 1417  were allowed to vote for Martin V by reason of the principle of Ecclesia supplet, which is false, since it was by approval of the previous pope before his death.

Then, Stephen claims that opposition to Prevost’s magisterium is “starting now”, in the first week of August?  Talk about historical revisionism.

Then Mazza says, “papa dubia, papa nulla”, which is incorrect, the correct phrase is “papa dubius, papa nullius” or “nullus”. — A doubtful pope is the pope of no one, or is no pope. — Next he says, “I personally believe that Amoris Laetitia contains heresy”, and thus puts the entire discussion into the frame of relativism, rather than objective truth. — Then he says that “Cum ex apostolatus officio” was published by Pius VI, when it was published by Paul IV.

Then Stephen jumps to say that that Constitution of Paul IV was abrogated in with the first Code of Canon Law in 1917, which is false. — Then Stephen seems to claim that no one else is arguing that Prevost is not the pope, even though he and Mazza know that is a lie.

Then Mazza says “you have to speak the truth”, even though they just agreed to a lie.

Then Stephen calls the antipope, “Leo XIV”, rather than, “Prevost”, just to make clear that he has been faking it throughout this interview. Later he calls him the “predecessor” of Pope Francis, just to make clear he accepts his claims to be legitimate to have been validly elected.

Then Mazza says that those who oppose Leo XIV need to collaborate, even though he and Stephen just showed they are totally in favor of living by lies and collaborate with liars, which is exactly what the Russian author he quotes says NOT to do. — Which is a crazy principle to suggest that all Catholics accept, since it is so masonic.

Then Stephen concludes by saying we have to wait for a “true Catholic Pope”, but says it in a way to make clear that he is waiting for the Cardinals, after the death of Leo XIV, to elect one.

So you can see how this video is a complete and very excellent piece of masonic propaganda, which holds your hand and brings you back into the dominant narrative of lies. — If you want to know where Stephen Kokx is coming from, he took off his mask in this recent interview with Mazza: they are going to pretend to be Alt-Trad inc, but they are really Pro-Prevost Big-Narrative and they are committed to psychological manipulation of their audience to get you hooked back into that. Or, in other words, they are acting just like Globalist Freemasonic bought-and-paid-for intelligence operatives. That is why they appeared out of nowhere, when Francis 2.0 took to the stage.

** For example, in the U.S.A., back in 2008, when there was a very public debate over whether Barrak Obama was eligible to run for the office of President of the United States, since the Constitution of that nation requires that candidates be “natural born citizens” — a definition given by Der Vattel — that is born on the soil of, of two parents who were also citizens at time of the child’s birth; but never interviewed anyone except those who spoke about his place of birth and studiously avoided and avoid to this day, the fact that his father was never a U.S. citizen.

The new Trad Inc. lists its members

8 Comments

Editor’s Note: Here at FromRome.Info, which began back in the fall of 2013, I have made how media reports the news a continuous object of analysis, watching what the Main Stream Media say and do not say, and what “Catholic” Media are willing to admit and not talk about, so as to distract you and keep the narrative on useless, ineffective topics.

Recently, I called to the attention of my readers the rise of the Neo-Sedevacantists, who appear to be a limited hangout to keep Catholics under control, after the obvious self-contradictory reaction of Trad Inc. to the selection of Cardinal Prevost.

This group has now coalesced into a membership organization and listed their members. I share Stephen K.’s post about this, so that you may know who they are and be aware of how they are going to spin the news. — I expect that they will soon list Barnhardt, O’Reilley (pensioned CIA agent) and Dockerty before Fall.

Their goals are to insist that Prevost is the Pope, while occasionally saying, “if” or “maybe” about that to keep you thinking they are honestly concerned about whether the rules for the Conclave were kept. But unlike Trad Inc. they will be pushing open separation from Rome and a new form of ecclesiology which does not require the Apostolic succession. Indeed, nearly all their writers are highly anti-clerical and continually post outrage and victim-rage articles on a daily basis to keep you addicted to reading them, and from acting as a Catholic to defeat the CIA sponsored takeover of the Church. — Many of their members are known pro-Russian propagandists, who are probably on board since Prevost is a CCP asset.

It’s bizarre that they use the term, “Alt-“, because as everyone knows the “Alt-Right” is a leftist pro-sodomy operation to infiltrate and flip the Right. — As for the gimmicky sort of way the article reads, “cannot be stopped” and “establishment is afraid”, it is obviously attempting to play your emotions and insert a narrative into you mind.

I will leave it to my readers to comment on what the real value of all of these “news” services will be to the Church. — But my prognostication will be that they attack the “Save Rome Project” either directly (defend the Cardinals) or indirecty (won’t solve the problem), and when the new Catholic pope is elected be more fierce towards him or attempt to censor all news about him.

As for the presence of Viganò among this group: this may indicate that they are being created to promote his Alt-SSPX version of an independent church. There are many strong indications that the Archbishop is running a Russian version of the French Intel project to create as much division among faithful Catholics in the West as possible.

The readers of FromRome.info, therefore, will have to prepare themselves accordingly to expect a long game to be played by all of them, quoting one another and attacking those outside. — All the characteristics of a propaganda operation have now taken their positions.

It has been 90 days, and any one of these Trad Inc. 2.0’s have had enough time to read a few paragraphs in the Papal Law for Conclaves, to see that the Conclave was totally and utterly invalid. But, instead, they have formed a group to lead Catholics away in exile from Rome.  This is not just a mistake or a lack of courage: this is a deeply evil and satanic psyop to dismember the Mystical Body of Christ.

Archbishop Viganò grants interview to Kokx week after he was fired

6 Comments

Editor’s Note: My my, how quickly everything is becoming clearer. LifeSite News which recently exploded with scandalous accusations against its principal staff members has been totally discredited in the English speaking world for being “unfair” to John Henry Westen, even though accusations from the board alleged what appears to fall into the categories of fraud, constructive fraud and malfeasances such as nepotism. Another fired staff member, who, however, is not returning, is  Stephen Kokx. I do not have any first hand testimony to why he was fired: if you do, share it below.

So the Catholic World wakes up this Sunday to a surprise even greater: that Archbishop Viganò, who nearly never grants interviews, has granted an interview to Kokx, who now calls his free Substack Page, “Kokx News”, even while a cloud hangs over his reputation and role at LifeSite News.

Even more curious,  since the Archbishop does not know English well enough to participate in an email interview, I wonder who else intervened to make it happen?

The Archbishop, though he worked in the Secretary of State for like 30 years, is also one of those clergy who presumed that the election of Prevost was valid, and insists that it remains so, even though he has seen the evidence that it is not. Like with Pope Francis, the Archbishop remains in the “He is certainly the pope” narrative, which serves the CIA agenda for the control of Vatican.

I had had high hopes for the Archbishop, when back in 2018 he demanded that Bergoglio resign, but I have to admit the reality which I see today, that he is gaming the public, because, being excommunicated under Pope Francis, there is no rational reason in heaven or earth for concealing the invalidity of Prevost’s election, if you are not controlled opposition or the member of a Masonic Lodge.

In any event, these two men are not part of the Church Militant, in the sense that they are not fighting to win — to say the least that could be said to clearly and definitively place them in their true positions. But they are willing to collaborate with fellow do-nothings.

Meanwhile, those who are called by such men as “unreliable” and “unstable”, proposed solutions in accord with Canon Law to undo the CIA plot against the Church and WIN.

Connect the dots, to see the truth, folks!

What kind of men call those who read and keep the law, “unstable” and “unreliable”?

If we consider the magnitude and depravity of what is being done to the Church since 2013 or 1958, it is beyond ridiculous how any Catholic could take the position of watching Holy Mother Church be raped and 100s of millions of souls let to damnation, while  chit-chatting about it, and doing nothing. It is not cruel or impolite to say that such men have no real love for Christ, because if they did, they would want to liberate the Church by any licit means.

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.

LifeSite Board of Directors dumps Weston & Kokx

8 Comments

Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo, Editor of FromRome.Info

Catholic Laymen have in recent decades amassed massive influence in the Church through their independent journalistic endeavors, which range from YouTube Channels and websites, to quasi media-empires, of the kind that Mike Voris ran.

But since Pope Benedict XVI’s incomplete resignation, nearly all of these “apostolates” chose to sustain and support the dominate Narrative of lies, that Bergoglio was the Pope and Benedict was not. Those of them who were “conservatives” then began, though slowly at first, pointing out the errors of Bergoglio, while insisting that he was the true Pope.

I can still remember the day back in April of 2016, when one of the editors of Life Site News, upon receiving the Press Release about Veri Catholici’s upcoming Conference at Rome, to denounce ‘Amoris Laetitia’, sent me a very angry letter demanding that I give up the names of the members of Veri Catholici as a condition for even obtaining a consideration — no promises — of running a news article about the Conference.

I felt like I was being shaken down by a Mafioso. LifeSite never mentioned Veri Catholic again to anyone ever. That group and myself were put on an eternal blacklist, along with FromRome.Info.

For the record, the real reason is that Veri Catholici had decided to break from the controlled media pack of controlled opposition voices and speak like true Catholics.

So today’s news, while it saddens many, is actually a good thing for Catholic Social Media, for it shows what happens when you but narrative control in the driver’s seat, rather than the Catholic Faith and love for Holy Mother Church.

Don’t believe for the moment the spin on this news by Chris Jackson, who would have Weston’s outting due to the fact that he was the true independent Catholic voice. He never was, and never tried to be. He was always withing the Globalist Narrative. — Since the “selection” of Cardinal Prevost, LifeSite like nearly all the other grifter controlled opposition sites flip-flopped in 24 hours, from being strong vocal critics of the Bergoglian agenda, to being loud supporters of the legitimacy of Francis 2.0. — REMEMBER, you can criticize an antipope till hell freezes over, but if you keep calling him the true pope, you are serving Satan. Chris Jackson wants you not to think about that. And in that, he too has pledged himself to the Big Lie.

But this cozying up to Leo, even with criticism, was evidently, for the readership of LifeSite the last straw. The Board of Directors seems to have made a decision for financial survival, but the wrong kind of decision: they want to be more pro Leo XIV!

Weston and his editors were taking 125 to 250 thousand dollars a year in salaries, in recent years. So the Board of Directors might just have realized that that those donations received could be better spent. — Also, now that USAID has been cut, LifeSite might have lost major financial support for their protection of Pope Francis, who was clearly a Hilary Clinton choice for pope.

And indeed, the “Leo XIV” narrative is failing so fast, and so much money is at stake, since the Vatican has a major liquidity problem, that it might be possible that the Vatican donated though or asked a major supporter to/of LifeSite in return for dumping Weston. Another possibility is that the Board of Directors of LifeSite has persons on it capable of being influenced by groups which are working with the St. Gallen Mafia, such as the Legionnaires of Christ or Opus Dei, which are known to use their influence to shut down opposition to the St. Gallen Mafia.

FromRome.Info has seen this in its own regard: it is viciously attacked by pro-Russians and those affiliated with the Italian Ministry of Defense, who never attack directly but through fake opposition influencers, while being blacklisted by Gladio affiliated outlets.

The destruction of fake opposition sources is good for Catholics in the English speaking world: the implosion of Voris’ Church Militant TV and now LifeSite will force Catholics to search for news sources which are truly Catholic and independent, and can at least balance their budgets.

FromRome.Info survives, because it is published by a Franciscan hermit, who lives by alms, and just tries to get by, month to month; on which account he knows that without a constant service of Christ the Truth and advocacy to defend Holy Mother Church from the Bergoglian heretics, he would be a total apostate from everything he vowed to God 33+ years ago, and lose God’s assistance.

Finally, to all the grifters out there and fake opposition Catholic news sources, all I can say is that I pray for your conversion, to tell the truth, in season or out of season, since that is what Saint Paul gave us an example to do. If not, expect bankruptcy when you speak rather in the service of the Father of Lies for the sake of filthy lucre.
