The real reason behind the Corona Stunt is something much more than simple control. It has a purpose. Here in Italy, most every activity is prohibited other than those who work in necessary sectors of the economy (Politicians and journalists are, obviously, considered necessary), buying groceries and walking your dog!
Walking your dog?
Did you know that the dog is considered sacred to Freemasons?
They get their dog, and we are denied our God?
At the supermarket, no one is afraid that in exchanging coins or bills, that they will catch Coronavirus. But we are told that the Catholic Mass is a possible source of contagion, so distribution of the Eucharist must be suspended?
Mammon is O.K. to handle? But the Eucharist is dangerous and unhealthy?
Something does not add up.
I can understand if the Bishops or some priests have AIDS, but surely they do not all have AIDS? There are also many young priests who are in good health, what are they afraid of?
“But I have to obey my Bishop!” they are saying. Really? What could your Bishop do to you which is worse than not being able to act as a priest?
Suspend you a divinis? You are already suspended, you cannot act as priest!
Reduce you to the state of a layman? What do you think you have become?
Excommunicate you?
Oh, Lord, forbid that! You would not want to be excommunicated for acting like a priest, for then you would be denied all the Sacraments of the Church, like the rest of us!
Over at Forge & Anvil, Laramie Hirsch has written an excellent essay to wake us all up about what just happened and what is happening. I reprint the first 3 paragraphs here, as a teaser, to get you to read the whole thing over at his website.
While he writes in reference to the USA, you can replace every reference to the United States with your own nation, and it will be just as valid a commentary, because it is all coming down from Bill Gates through the World Health Organization.

The U.S. Expiration Date: The Future of the U.S.
We are in the midst of a lockdown. The word “lockdown” is a prison term designated for prisoners in prison. When a prison lockdown is lifted, prisoners are allowed back into the yard. And that is where we are at right now. One could call this a quarantine. But the fact is that all of our society has been scraped away in one, big, grand biopsy. By now, more people (although, still only a minority) are starting to catch up to where a tiny fraction of us were a week ago—that this circumstance will be permanent, that American society will never be the same, and that all of this isolation is severely damaging us to a degree that we do not yet understand.
By the time that half-to-a-majority of Americans realize that this is the new normal, that the prosperous American society has been destroyed, and that we are now living in a scientific medical dictatorship, the noose will have been tightened quite a bit. While it appears that President Donald Trump has placed these controls with hesitation, other powers-that-be greatly enjoy this clampdown. These elites I speak of are none other than the oligarchs who have always scowled down on the American proletariat. And after three years of striving and failing to destroy our best representative in the halls of power, this elite has come to utterly hate us. They hate us with a passion, and they celebrate and cheer as they count up our rising fatality numbers in a daily “death count.”
This atomized prison we now live in is our present and our future. The frightening thing to realize, however, is that not everyone is realizing this just yet. Law enforcement powers have only recently released criminals from our jails and prisons. Only recently is it the case that police are deciding en masse to not uphold our laws and make arrests. We’ve only just begun to “eat into our seed grain.” But weeks from now, Americans will truly begin to see what is happening. They will understand that the world they enjoyed before Christmas is gone. They will see new and authoritarian controls being imposed upon them from above. And they will realize that the future is dark and offers little hope. When the masses understand these things, then we will behold true panic. That is when things to boil over.
Ominously, at 17:40 in this Video, Bill Gates implies that the Catholic Religion will remain outlawed until all can be certified to have received a vaccine, if even then!
He is talking about suspending the Mass for 18 months or forever!
And not only mass, all professional sporting events, like Football, Baseball, Soccer, Basketball, Hockey etc. etc..
Melinda Gates is a Roman Catholic, and Bill and Melinda have raised all their children as Catholics. However, I some how think there is something big missing in their lives, if they think like this: God.

From someone who believed all the initial reports about Coronavirus, without examining the claims, to one, who has examined numerous statistical reports about the so-called epidemic or pandemic, I have come to doubt completely that Coronavirus is killing anyone. I think it is a complete stunt. This is because all the evidence being presented in numbers shows that either no one is dying from Coronavirus or that the authorities really do not care who is dying from it, so long as they can be claimed to have died with it. And that is the most perverse national and international mendacity possible!
So let us take a closer look at the statistics for Coronavirus cases in Italy, published yesterday by the Italian Government (Source of graphic):
Click the image to enlarge. Yellow is active cases. Green is total cured. Red is total deaths, Orange is total persons with Coronavirus infections. Grey is total persons who were tested as to whether they had Coronavirus or not.
Now, let us examine the numbers in the bottom row of the table, which are the totals for all of Italy.
Let’s start with the grey
657,224 persons were tested, and of them only 124,632 were found to have Coronavirus. Numerous reports, however, claim that the test is only 50% effective. Yet, if we assumed the test were 50% effective, then we would assume the total cases known would be twice as much as 124,632, and if the Coronavirus is real, that means that all the other numbers in Yellow, Green and Read would need to be doubled. But where are all those patients? They are not in the hospitals. They are not reported sick. They are not reported dead.
The conclusion is, then, that either there are 15,000 dead people living alone whose bodies are rotting in closed houses, of which no one in all of Italy knows about, or that the test which is only 50% effective, and is known to give false positives is a lot less than 50% effective, and that many of those 124,632 never had Coronavirus.
So now let us look at the Yellow
29,010 recovered who had symptoms. That is no kind of scientific way of knowing if you have the virus. I know this from experience. Because after visiting some benefactors from my days as a hermit in Sicily (2009-2011) over the holidays, I returned to Rome on January 3. The next day I wen to the photocopy shop to make more copies of literature demonstrating Pope Benedict XVI was the pope, and one of the workers sneezed nearly in my face. On the bus, a woman from China, with a face mask on, also sneezed near me.
Sure enough, the next day I felt a soar throat coming, in the afternoon. The day after, a fever came on. A strong fever with a dry cough. The next day I had to remain in bed, and I was in bed 10 days. First there was a dry cough, then diarrhea, and then loads of mucus in the lungs, so much that I felt I was choking to death. So I went to the pharmacy and got some over the counter medicines which prevent mucus formation in the lungs and assist in helping it be coughed up. I also omitted all dairy products from my diet, since it is those proteins which the body uses to make mucus.
Whatever I had it floored me, It wiped me out. I had nearly no strength even to go to the bathroom to cough up the mucus which was as thick as comerical mash-potatoes or at think polenta or flour gruel, if you can imagine that. I never had seen such mucus in my life. And I am sure that if I had not gone to the pharmacy when I could still walk, I would have been in a serious situation.
After the fever broke on about the 10th day, I had to spend about another 10 days inside to regain my strength. I barely had the strength to walk to the nearest market and get some food. I ate a lot of panetone and that helped me regain my strength.
Now if you read what symptoms I just described, they are nearly identical to Coronavirus, COVID-19. But I had them from January 5 to about the 26, long before anyone in Europe was known to have Coronavirus, which, according to the Ministry of Health, here in Italy, came to Italy through a worker at Codogno, in Northern Italy, who had visited Munich from January 21-22, 2020.
So if you had to judge on the basis of symptoms, then, if I had the common winter flu, then you would think that most persons with a bad case of it, as I apparently had, had Coronavirus. Or else, you have to conclude that this year’s Coronavirus was already in Italy at the beginning of the winter and did not come from China at all.
In short, symptoms this year might not be at all an accurate determination of who has or does not have Coronavirus, if the winter flu gave you the same symptoms. Or else, Coronavirus is being claimed to be something it is not.
The 55,270 of those who are on home quarantine, represents 44.34% of all claimed to have the Coronavirus. Evidently, medical experts in emergency rooms do not think that Coronavirus is life threatening, or else they would not simply say go home and get over it as they do with the common cold. So either these patients have the common cold, or they have corona. And that means either the tests are totally unreliable, or the Coronavirus is the common cold! In fact, 44% is close to 50%, which is the known accuracy of the test. So it seems that all of these may have never had corona to begin with.
Of the numbers in Yellow, perhaps we can be more certain of the 3994, the total cases in intensive care, IF we assume they have Coronavirus. Because a lot of medical reasons can cause you to end up in intensive care. And there are a lot of kinds of bacteria and viruses which can all you to be on a respirator.
So from the examination of the numbers in yellow, I think we can have a healthy doubt that anyone is really seriously infected with corona virus, except a few thousand in all of Italy, who are in intensive care.
Now let’s look at the Green
The green represents the total cases claimed to have Coronavirus who were determined to be cured. I will suppose the number is true and that the cure means they no longer have the coronavirus or that they have now the antibodies against Coronavirus, and that coronavirus is now in the body like very other bacteria or virus which is under control.
But the 20,996 represents 16.84% of those claimed to have Coronavirus, which, on account of the test not being accurate and as we have seen from the numbers in Yellow, is probably already 44% too high, at least. But, think about it for a moment. If a test is 50% right and 50% wrong all the time, and you use it to determine if someone is infected and you use it to determine if someone is cured, what would the results be?
They would be that of all the people tested you have a 50% chance of finding those really infected and a 50% change of saying someone is infected who is not infected. That means the test will say about 50% of the population is infected, and perhaps slightly more, if there are really large quantities of really infected.
And of those who are claimed by the test to be infected are tested again, what will be the results? That 50% are infected and 50% are not infected, or about 25% of the total. But 25% is very near the total number of cured, the 20,996 or 16.84%. This means that there is good reason to believe that no one ever had Coronavirus, and that these numbers are merely the results of an inaccurate test. Those tested inaccurately as being infected are admitted to hospital or surveillance, and when tested again, have of those are rightly or wrongly identified as being cured and are dismissed as cured!
Finally, let’s take a look at the red
If we assume that the total deaths are true — and at this point that is getting difficult to believe, because of all the lies which are patent in the numbers already presented — that would be 12.32% of all diagnosed as infected, which would be 4 times greater than the mortality of Coronavirus in any other place of the world, even though the strain here in Italy is not particularly more lethal.
And that means either they did not die because of Coronavirus, or that the Italian socialized medical system is very efficient in helping you die with Coronavirus.
Now there are three possibilities, other than that the death numbers are faked. The first is that these deaths are not caused by Coronavirus. And in fact the Ministry of Health has admitted that only 12% of those claimed to have died from Coronavirus, have a death certificate where the doctors who cared for the patient list the death as caused by Coronavirus. The other 88% died from something else, but were diagnosed as being infected by Coronavirus.
The second possibility is that these patients were euthanized in great numbers, such that roughly 75% were put to death intentionally or allowed to die out of neglect in a failed medical system.
The third possibility is that they had a bad winter influenza like I did and died from that, not Coronavirus, though they may also have had a Coronavirus infection.
Conclusion
Sixty-five Million Italians have been effectively put under house arrest to prevent the plague of Coronavirus. But after more than 9 weeks of the virus being in Italy, as the authorities claim, the numbers show that we can have little confidence that more than 1,843 persons (12% of 15,362) have died from it, when the normal winter flu in Italy kills 17,000 to 25,000 annually.
That does not make sense. No rational person could justify such a shut down of the national economy for such a small number of persons. But people are rational by nature. Therefore, we must assume that the leaders of Italy are acting for some other reason, some other goal and some other purpose, and that the Coronavirus is a complete political stunt.
There was much interest, the other day, when I made reference to the warning given by Don Alessandro Minutella, pastor of the Church of San Don Bosco, Palermo, who has been admonishing Catholics, and clergy especially, for more than 2 years, that Bergoglio is a heretic, and thus cannot be the Vicar of Christ or the Pope. He has always said that he was acting on the basis of a special interior inspiration from the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom he is very devoted.
Last weekend, he gave this warning to the world (see below English translation). I publish this for its news worthiness, not because I have seen any evidence that Don Minutella has or does not have a special grace of inspiration. But his discourse reminds me of Revelations 18:4-8.
But he is absolutely correct, Pope Benedict XVI according to the norm of Canon Law, and thus the will of Heaven, is the only true Successor of Saint Peter, Vicar of Christ, Pope and Bishop of Rome, as I and many others have demonstrated with never-refuted arguments of canon law, logic, philosophy, and common sense. (see my Index to the Renunciation of Pope Benedict XVI for more information).
So for the sake of those who do not speak or read Italian, here is an English translation of the transcription of the warning he gave in Italian on live video, last weekend.
+ + +
Dearly beloved brethren,
.. there writes to you, in order to reach you, a brother of yours, possibly the smallest and, perhaps, the most unsuitable, to give you a message from heaven.
There is no more time to waste getting out of the false church. You are offered a last, precious supplement of time, which will last until April 12, the Solemnity of the Resurrection of the Lord.
Humanity has entered into the last times. The sin of idolatry accomplished by Bergoglio with the placing of pagan and satanic idols, has given the official start to the chastisements of Heaven, already predicted many times, both in Fatima and in other apparitions.
Scripture speaks to us at length of the last times and of the final clash between good and evil, with the advent of the Antichrist and the kingdom of perdition. Do not let secular voices and even atheists notice this, while the shepherds pretend not to understand it!
I come to plead with those of you who, and you are not few, have followed my story in one way or another in these years. I have been sent by God on an important mission. Believe me, if only for the constancy in the trials I have shown so far: the final time has come.
To those of you who have had doubts about the validity of the 2013 election, to those who still look to Benedict XVI as the Pope, to those who are aware of the apostate and multi heretical drift of the false church, the Blessed Virgin makes a final appeal: GET OUT!
Come out, dear priests.
Make a video or any other public gesture to make it known that you are not in communion with the false pope, forerunner of the Antichrist, and that instead you will celebrate, from now on, publicly (because you already do it privately), in communion with Pope Benedict XVI.
Our Heavenly Mother says to you: can’t you see how many people are dying now? Do you not see the beginning of the great warning promised? What still, now, is holding you back? You will lose everything, if you hesitate, but you will also lose yourself if, even now, while the breath of the Apocalypse deserts the world, you hold back from coming out for fear of losing something. And do you not see the signs of the times? The closed churches, the private masses at home, the forbidden sacraments, St. Peter’s Square empty, in a word the Catholic Church become a desert. As Jesus says in Lk 21:22: “they will in fact be days of vengeance, that all that has been written may be fulfilled”.
Do you wish, perhaps, to remain blind to the signs of the times? Remember, I pray you, the Lord’s words: “Look at the fig tree and all the plants; when they already sprout, look at them and see for yourselves that summer is near. So also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near” (Lk 21:29-31).
Dear confreres, I invite you to enter openly and officially into the Marian Priestly Society, in open communion with Pope Benedict XVI. You will save yourselves and the souls entrusted to you.
There is no more time.
This time of crisis will soon cease, but only for a pause. It will serve to compact more and more the small Catholic remnant around Pope Benedict who, by now, is increasingly on his way to God.
Afterwards, when it will seem to fall into oblivion over the pandemic virus now underway, more terrible punishments will come again. What we are experiencing is the beginning of the great warning, but what, after the pause of a few months, will happen, will be the entrance into the time of punishment.
You know that I have been considered mad, and yet the things I have prophesied in this three years, so far, have all occurred, as it is before your eyes.
Come out!
The time has come. Do not delay. It’s heaven’s last chance. By April 12th.
After that you too will be marked with the sign of the beast.
The Holy Virgin is waiting for you…
And, if nothing else, you will not be able to tell God that you were not warned, even though the instrument He is using, that is, me, is the least suitable and the most inconvenient. But that is God’s logic.
I pray for you, forgive me, give me your blessing, especially believe me. And finally come out!
This is an exact reproduction of the front page article in the Bulletin of the formerly Roman Catholic Diocese of Thunder Bay, Canada, for March 30, 2020:
Bill Gates has said the coronavirus reminds us we are all equal
But multi-billionaire Gates, 64 – who donated £85 million to combat the virus last month – believes that despite the chaos, there is ‘a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens’. In an open letter, entitled ‘What is the Corona/ Covid-19 Virus Really Teaching us?’, he wrote:
‘A SPIRITUAL PURPOSE’
“I’m a strong believer that there is a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens, whether that is what we perceive as being good or being bad.
“As I meditate upon this, I want to share with you what I feel the Corona/ Covid-19 virus is really doing to us.
1) It is reminding us that we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, occupation, financial situation or how famous we are. This disease treats us all equally, perhaps we should to. If you don’t believe me, just ask Tom Hanks.
2) It is reminding us that we are all connected and something that affects one person has an effect on another. It is reminding us that the false borders that we have put up have little value as this virus does not need a passport. It is reminding us, by oppressing us for a short time, of those in this world whose whole life is spent in oppression.
3) It is reminding us of how precious our health is and how we have moved to neglect it through eating nutrient poor manufactured food and drinking water that is contaminated with chemicals upon chemicals. If we don’t look after our health, we will, of course, get sick.
4) It is reminding us of the shortness of life and of what is most important for us to do, which is to help each other, especially those who are old or sick. Our purpose is not to buy toilet roll.
5) It is reminding us of how materialistic our society has become and how, when in times of difficulty, we remember that it’s the essentials that we need (food, water, medicine) as opposed to the luxuries that we sometimes unnecessarily give value to.
6) It is reminding us of how important our family and home life is and how much we have neglected this. It is forcing us back into our houses so we can rebuild them into our home and to strengthen our family unit. ‘OUR TRUE WORK’
7) It is reminding us that our true work is not our job, that is what we do, not what we were created to do. Our true work is to look after each other, to protect each other and to be of benefit to one another.
8) It is reminding us to keep our egos in check. It is reminding us that no matter how great we think we are or how great others think we are, a virus can bring our world to a standstill.
9) It is reminding us that the power of freewill is in our hands. We can choose to cooperate and help each other, to share, to give, to help and to support each other or we can choose to be selfish, to hoard, to look after only our self. Indeed, it is difficulties that bring out our true colours.
10) It is reminding us that we can be patient, or we can panic. We can either understand that this type of situation has happened many times before in history and will pass, or we can panic and see it as the end of the world and, consequently, cause ourselves more harm than good.
11) It is reminding us that this can either be an end or a new beginning. This can be a time of reflection and understanding, where we learn from our mistakes, or it can be the start of a cycle which will continue until we finally learn the lesson we are meant to.
12) It is reminding us that this Earth is sick. It is reminding us that we need to look at the rate of deforestation just as urgently as we look at the speed at which toilet rolls are disappearing off of shelves. We are sick because our home is sick.
13) It is reminding us that after every difficulty, there is always ease. Life is cyclical, and this is just a phase in this great cycle. We do not need to panic; this too shall pass.
14) Whereas many see the Corona/ Covid-19 virus as a great disaster, I prefer to see it as a *great corrector* It is sent to remind us of the important lessons that we seem to have forgotten and it is up to us if we will learn them or not.
THESE PRAYERS ARE SAID EACH MIDNIGHT
IN FRONT OF THE BASILICA OF SANTA MARIA MAGGIORE AT ROME
This devotion is inspired by the request made by Our Lady Herself in Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich’s Vision of
August 25, 1822: “I know not now how I went to Rome last night, but I found myself near the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. Around it I saw crowds of poor, pious souls, in great distress and anxiety on account of the Pope’s disappearance and the agitation and alarming reports throughout the city. Led by one common impulse, they had come to invoke the Mother of God. They did not expect to find the church open, they intended only to pray outside. But I was inside, I opened the door and they entered, astounded at the door’s opening of itself. I was standing aloof where they could not see me. There was no service, only the chancel-lamps were burning, and the people knelt in quiet prayer. Then the Mother of God appeared. She said that great tribulations were at hand; that the people must pray earnestly with extended arms, if only for the length of three Our Fathers, for it was thus that her Son had prayed for them upon the Cross; that they should rise at midnight to pray thus; that they should continue to come to Her church which they would always find open; and that they should, above all, pray for the extirpation of the Church of Darkness. … I know not whether the people saw the apparition or not, but they must have been impressed by something supernatural for, when the Blessed Virgin said they should pray to God with arms extended, all lifted up their arms … It seemed to be an association of prayer.” From this time Sister Emmerich assisted nightly at the pious exercises at Santa Maria Maggiore.

I will quote here, only one section, that which regards the fifth allegation, which begins on p. 24, that COVID-19 is an Act of Biological warfare against humanity. What follows is a direct quotation from the legal brief:
5. COVID-19 is a Bio-Weapon created in Wuhan
The Chinese government has meticulously planned the execution and spread of the Novel Coronavirus and the same can be inferred in the way China has taken regard of the situation as also of the curious case of the spread of the virus all over the world. As pointed earlier, it remains a mystery as to how the virus has not spread in all provinces of China but at the same time, has spread to all countries in the world.
According to an ET Prime Report, a group of Chinese scientists in Canada were accused of spying and were stripped of their access to Canada‟s National Microbiology Lab, sometime in August 2019 and the said lab is known to contain some of the world‟s deadliest pathogens. These scientists then were sent to a High security biochemical Wuhan Lab, which is one of the world‟s most heavily guarded labs. That these scientists later developed the COVID-19 virus and released it to the outside world somewhere in the early days of December 2019 in Wuhan, from where the virus spread. (as reported in the Economic Times article (dated February 11, 2020):
The purpose of developing such a potent and deadly virus remains a secret. However, there are solid evidences to show that the Chinese government intends to utilize the same to take control of the world‟s economy.The hypothesis of biological warfare behind the global pandemic had already been raised by Russian experts some weeks ago.
Like any opinion that is slightly different from the official version of Western governments and their media agencies, the thesis was ridiculed and accused of being a “conspiracy theory”. However, as soon as the official spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the second largest economic power on the planet publishes a note attesting to this possibility, it leaves the sphere of “conspiracy theories” to enter the scene
of public opinion and official government versions.
In addition to making the explanation of biological warfare official, Zhao Lijian raised important questions about the pandemic data in the USA: “When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!”
The supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini, ordered on the same day of the declaration of the Chinese Ministry the creation of a unified center of scientific research specialized in the fight against the Coronavirus. The motivation, according to the Iranian spiritual and political leader, was motivated by evidence that the pandemic is a biological attack. These are his words:
“The establishment of a headquarters to fight the outbreak [of COVID-19] occurs due to the presence of evidence that indicates the possibility of a biological attack, signaling that it is necessary that all coping services [to the coronavirus] be under the command of a unified headquarters”.
These speculations only increase the likelihood of the COIVD-19 being a carefully assembled biological weapon, aimed at crippling major countries in the world leaving only China as the beneficiary.
If you have the faith which can see and the honesty and sincerity to admit, that Bergoglio is a heretic, blasphemer, idolater, apostate and schismatic, then you are forced to chose one of three possibilities.
Because it is written in Scripture, that Christ said of Peter and His successors:
Simon, Simon, Satan has desired to sift you all as wheat, but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may never fail. (Luke 22:31)
So, there is only 3 possibilities:
Christ Jesus is impotent: that is His prayer is not all powerful.
Christ Jesus is a liar: that is, He did not remain faithful to His promise to pray.
Bergoglio never was the Successor of Saint Peter, because of some canonical error or fact.
The comments by Dr. Fauci, seen in this video above, where made during his speech, “Pandemic Preparedness in the Next Administration”, at Georgetown University Medical Center, uploaded on Feb. 14, 2017, about 3 weeks after Donald Trump began his presidency, but given a few days before his inauguration on Jan. 20 of that year.
Here is the full talk. Pay attention at 3:33 into the video.
FromRome.Info has published a series of articles implicating such a possibility, that the Pandemic was planned by the world elites:
One of the great works of Catholic literature ever attempted, and certainly the greatest work of Catholic Theology on the Most Holy Trinity, Saint Bonaventure of Bagnoregio’s Commentaries on the First Book of the Sentences of Master Peter Lombard: On the One and Triune God is certainly a book for the ages and a book which merits its place on the bookshelf of every Catholic family and institution.
Actual Book Cover: click to know more about this book.
Saint Bonaventure of Bagnoregio was born Giovanni Fidanza, at Civita di Bagnoregio on the northern confines of the Papal States around 1217 A.D., just as decade or so after Saint Francis of Assisi had founded his order of Friars Minor. Raised by his father, the town doctor, with the finest education money could buy locally, he was sent by his father to the University of Paris to study medicine. There, he studied logic and philosophy under the greatest Scholastic masters of the day, and followed them into the Order of Saint Francis, when they took the habit in admiration of the evangelical perfection of the Saint. He thereupon took the name given to him by his mother, as a child, when having fallen into a grave fever, she asked Saint Francis to cure her son, and upon the miracle, exclaimed: Che bonaventura! that is, what a good outcome!
Marvelous for both his erudition and personal sanctity, Friar Bonaventure studied under the renowned medieval philosopher Alexander of Hales, was ordained a priest and after Alexander’s untimely death, went on to study for a doctorate in theology, which in those days, was called the Magister Sententiarum, a Master of the Sentences of Peter Lombard, the name of the text book used in theology at the University of Paris since the 1220’s.
From 1250 to 1252, to obtain his doctorate, Saint Bonaventure lectured upon and wrote his commentaries on the First Book of Lombard, which discusses the One and Triune God, the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity, an argument which in modern seminaries is dispensed with in one semester or in passing, which explains not a little why the clergy of today lack such a sense of the sacred, if they can even explain the things of God correctly, which is usually not the case.
Now more than ever, when the apostasy of the clergy is nearly universal, the Catholic layman or laywoman has a greater necessity to defend their souls and their faith by informing themselves and relying upon the very best sources of doctrine and spirituality.
Br. Bugnolo, working on his translation in 2013, at his desk here at Rome.
To assist them in this and to open up to modern man and to the English speaking world the riches of wisdom and doctrine which God gave to Saint Bonaventure, Br. Bugnolo spent 12 years translating the works of Saint Bonaventure in a study which was nearly unending. So far he has translated Bonaventure’s Commentaries on the First Three Book of Lombard, more than 3000 pages of Latin text, or the equivalent of 18,000 pages of letter sized sheets.
Published in 2014, Br. Bugnolo’s English translation of Saint Bonaventure’s Commentaria in Quatuor Libros Sententiarum soon was recognized as the most authoritative modern translation of the work, and is in fact the first complete vernacular translation of Bonaventure’s Commentary ever published in any language in 800 years. Dr. Claudio Mayeregger of the Fundacion, Santa Ana, Argentina, was so impressed he wrote a public letter of commendation on the work.
The book is published by The Franciscan Archive, a publisher founded by Br. Bugnolo, which has consigned the printing and storage and distribution of the books to Save Old St. Mary’s, Inc., a US 501 (c)(3) non profit charity, which currently has more than 2500 copies of the book in storage. The non profit, no longer being able to store these books, must distribute the remaining quantity in the next 10 months, or pulp the remaining copies.
The book is 996 pages: and measures 9.25” by 13.56”, by 2.625″; it is bound in green cloth hardcover, and comes with a Laminated full color jacket (as seen above). It is printed on on acid-free 50lb-paper, with a sewn library quality binding, and comes with a green ribbon. Each copy is shrink wrapped and boxed separately, in a package weighing about 9.1 lbs. or 4.14 kgs.
The book is distributed for a donation of $ 92.50 USD in the USA (shipping and handling included) and internationally for $ 130 USD in Canada or Mexico, or $150 USD elsewhere.
This book is a wonderful Encyclopedia like resource, which answers very conceivable question about God.d It is a beautiful gift for your favorite priest or religious, and a monumental addition to any personal library or institutional collection. The book is already present in more than 200 Catholic University Libraries throughout the world.

As we continue our perusal of the repertoire of the sacred polyphony of Tomás Luis de Victoria, the most famous composer of 16th Century Spain, we feature today his Salve Regina, the Marian Hymn known in English as, the Hail Holy Queen.
FromRome.Info features at 5 P.M. daily, Rome time, a selection of sacred music for the edification of our readers, so that they can better grasp how contrary to the very nature of Catholic liturgy were the so called “reforms” of Vatican II.
With the flick of the switch, Italy has moved from one of the countries where the Catholic Faith enjoyed the greatest civil liberty to a nation with more persecution than Marxist China. To merely list the stories of the outrageous things happening is sufficient to show how the so-called stay-at-home decrees implemented by an illegal Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers (the Italian Prime Minister) at request of the World Health Organization, are not about preventing the spread of the virus which apparently kills no one but those already sick, but about suppressing the Catholic religion completely.
Don Domenic Cirigliano, pastor of Rocca Imperiale, decided to do what he could to give his parishioners some comfort, seeing that the Decrees forbade him to distribute the Sacraments. So he carried a large Crucifix — in which in 1691 human blood miraculously gushed forth from the wounds of the image of Christ — through the streets of the town and blessed the homes of the faithful as he passed. The Police fined him 400 Euros and the Mayor put him under house arrest for 2 weeks! He was officially charged with inciting a procession, because some faithful followed at a distance behind him, during his walk through the town with the Cross!
Don Cirigliano is a great priest. As an example to all of Italy, he has publicly stated that he will not pay the fine! When asked why he thinks he was fined, he said, “They want to fine the Church!”
On March 25, the pastors of four parishes and the Mayor of Giulianova held Mass at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Splendor, and afterwards the Mayor consecrated his city to the Blessed Virgin. All the rules for social distancing were observed and the event was televised to 4000 residents. There were less than 10 persons present. The next day, those participating in the Mass were informed that they had been denounced to the local Prosecutor who was opening a misdemeanor case against each of them, including the Mayor!
But by far the worse outrage so far, was the sacrilege of the Mass at the Parish of Saint Francis of Assisi in Civitavecchia: a large church build in the round, below the town in a residential quarter for upper scale housing. The Mass was broadcast on live streaming and the faithful gathered in small numbers on their own initiative outside the Church looking through the open doors. The Mayor, as soon as he knew of it, ordered the police to break it up. So two officers of the city police entered the Church in violation of the Lateran Pact and arrested the priest as he sat in the Sanctuary, even though he had violated no aspect of the Decrees for Coronavirus. — However, later it came to the fore, that the Mayor is a radical pro LGBT advocate and had battled with the priest for years over the issue. He apparently saw his opportunity to take vendetta and he did.
In October, the Catholic world was witness two 2 extraordinary events: one revolting and one inspiring. The one revolting was Bergoglio’s adoration of pagan idols in the Vatican Gardens, on October 4, 2019 and the reverence he and many others showed them in Saint Peter’s Basilica, the Sunday following. The one inspiring, was the clandestine snatching of 5 idols of Pachamama from the Church in the Transtevere, on Monday Morning, October 22, by unknown Catholic men.
The scene was video taped and edited.
Here is the video.
The video was a multimedia sensation, being viewed by more than 200,000 individuals world wide.
Subsequently, the Baron Alexander von Tschuggül admitted to be one of the key perpetrators. He was universally praised for the heroism and faith displayed in this historic act of Catholic counter-apostasy. Here is the video of his confession:
On March 27, Dr. Taylor Marshall admitted he participated in the planning and funding of the deed. He now admits to be the editor of the Part II narration of the event, which editing was done very well, in my opinion. Here is that video.
Some are praising Dr. Marshall for being a protagonist. Others are condemning him for orchestrating a media event. Some because he financed it, but mostly because of his mental reservation or deception — depending on what point of view you take — in publicizing the Pachamama snatching after the fact.
While, from my training an anthropology and archeology, I see value in preserving ancient artifacts, even if they be idols, because their conservation in a museum, where they are no longer worshiped, helps understand human history, I agree with the Saints and Scripture, that an idol used in a house of God for the worship of a demon, should be removed and can licitly be destroyed or disposed of.
However, while that is the teaching of the Saints, it is not the law in Italy, which has a secular constitution and is a masonic state.
In Italy, the theft or destruction of private property is a crime. And worse, the collaboration or conspiracy to engage in the theft or destruction of private property is a special kind of crime, called associazione a delinquere. We would call it organized crime, in English.
And it is punished in the Italian penal code, Article 416, with imprisonment for 3 to 7 years. Solely for participating in the conspiracy, but not in the crime of theft or destruction of property, the punishment is 1 to 5 years imprisonment. If committed in violation of immigration laws by foreigners, the punishment is 5 to 15 years.
So, my humble advice to the Baron and Doctor, is this: lawyer up and plan on taking your vacations to some other country, than Italy, for quite some time, as, if you should enter Italy, you might be arrested on the spot for criminal conspiracy, now that you have publicly admitted to the crime in all its particulars.
Also, if the Italian government wants to be nasty, they can ask your native countries to extradite you to Italy, so be prepared to fight extradition requests.
But, for my part, I say, God bless you for your good work.
Our Lord Jesus Christ teaches explicitly that Christians have the right to bear arms. Nay, He not only teaches we have a right, He instructs us that it is our duty. He does this on the very night He was betrayed by Judas Iscariot, so as to teach us not to misinterpret His willingness to be Crucified, as an unreasonable renunciation of natural right to self defense or unreasonable submission to unjust authority.
The words of Our Most High and Divine Lord are these, and you find them in the Gospel of Saint Luke, chapter 22, verse 36: I quote from the Douay Rheims translation of the Clementine Vulgate:
But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.
These words, Our Lord said to the Apostles. Thus they are understood immediately in reference to the Sacred Hierarchy, that they have the right to defend themselves and thus to bear arms. But by extension, since Christ’s sacred representatives should be men of peace and reconciliation, if they have the right and duty to bear arms, then all the more so, all other members of the Church.
This is not why the Church is called the Church Militant. That title refers to our spiritual struggle against the forces of darkness, which as Saint Paul reminds us, are spirits not men.
But this is why, we need to understand rightly how much true Catholic doctrine differs from what the Marxists and Secularists want us to understand it to be. Indeed, the fear non-Christians have of these words of Jesus is evident over at Wikipedia, which has an entire article on Luke 22:36 to attempt to convince you to be a pacifist and interpret the words of Jesus as not having to do with physical armaments. And they laughably try to convince you that Pope Boniface VIII would support such an idea.
The Natural Right to bear arms
Every living thing has the right to defend it’s life. This is a law of nature. It is said to be a law because it is in the very order of the created world, that we can see that living organisms defend themselves. Since non-rational beings cannot sin, their self defense cannot be a sin. And since God endowed them with a means of and or instinct for self-defense, their doing so must be part of the law which He wrote in the natural order of things.
Consequently, since man is a rational being capable of artifice, he can make tools and instruments for self-defense and use them for that purpose. Thus every man, as an individual, has the right to make and bear arms.
I will speak, below, about bearing arms, for brevity sake, but please understand me in regard to the manufacture, bearing and use of arms, since the right or duty to each implies the duty or right to each.
The Natural Duty to bear arms
Every individual human being lives by the gift of God, the Author of all life. This gift of life is a gift, and thus must be protected. We cannot licitly ignore this duty. Thus every individual human being, has not only the right to self defense but the duty to defend himself. And when this requires the use of arms, he does well to use them and is obliged to use them, except in those cases where to testify to the faith, he submits to those who hate Christ so as to win the crown of Martyrdom. Yet this is by special inspiration, not something to be sought out. Because to be a Martyr you have to be willing to forgive your enemies who put you to death. And that is a very rare grace among those who are unjustly put to death.
This duty becomes even more obligatory when a human being has the duty to protect others, such as children, parents, the weak or the innocent who are defenseless. It is also a graver duty when the society to which one belongs is threatened as a community. Because according to the natural law we owe collaboration in self defense of our own, by ties of affinity, blood, society, and alliances.
The Divine Right and Duty of Christians to Bear arms
A Christian, therefore, on account of his membership in the Mystical Body of Christ, by Baptism, is bound to defend not only his own life, but the lives and faith of all Christians, when they are threatened unjustly or out of hatred to the Faith or out of hatred of Christ. This is a fundamental duty of the Communion of Saints here on Earth.
While many Catholics have strong habits of prayer for fellow Catholics and Christians who are persecuted, few of us realize that our duty goes much beyond prayer.
For this reason, the right and duty to bear arms for Catholics regards himself, his family, his relatives, his parishioners, all Catholics everywhere, the Church, the clergy, and all who are persecuted out of hatred of Jesus Christ.
For this reason, it is more accurate to speak of the Rights and Duty, than of the right and duty, because by Faith and the teaching of Our Lord, this Duty encompases many persons and therefore the right to act in each case has its own species of justification.
Those who deny that Catholics have the right and duty to bear and use and manufacture arms are simply heretics, and should be regarded as such, because they deny the teaching of Our Lord Jesus Christ. They should also be regarded as cowards and mad, since they are attempting to counter common sense and subject the Church to the wicked of this world.
When to exercise your Rights and fulfill your Duty
The right and duty to self defense obviously exist at all times, but the actions which flow to fulfill or execute this right and duty arises only when a threat is perceived.
It is important to note that I say, when a threat is perceived, not when a threat arises. This is because when a threat arises, there may not be time sufficient to procure the instruments of your self defense. Of course one must use this principle sanely. A paranoid can certainly fear many things to excess and build himself a military bunker and arm himself to the teeth and think he is justified in that. But his excessive fear causes him to go to an excess, which may actually be dangerous to himself or others, financially as well as physically, even if it must be conceded that he is not acting without or in violation of his rights or in neglect of his duty.
The use of arms, however, can only be in accord with one’s rights and duty when the threat exists and when the use is capable to thwarting the threat and when it is required to do so.
Thus, in times in which the civil authorities or the State are sufficiently controlling the threat against oneself or ones family or the innocent, a private individual has no necessity to resort to the use of arms. But when the government fails in this, or when the civil authorities themselves threaten the lives or liberty of the individual or public or the Church, then an individual and indeed the whole society has the right to use and organize for the use of such rights.
Indeed, it becomes the grave duty of everyone to resist their own enslavement or their persecution for being Catholic or acting or worshiping as a Catholic. For this reason, the mere fact that the leaders of your nation are your legitimate rulers, by law, does not give them the right to enslave you. And any attempt to do so is a grave and imminent threat.
Just War Theory
Under the name, “Just War theory”, Catholics for centuries have discussed the moral question of when it is licit for a sovereign power to begin hostilities. There has to exist a just motive: that is a grave threat of hostilities or the grave violation of the order of justice, already perpetrated. There has to be a good probability of victory. There has to be due use of force, not excessive nor insufficient, directed against combatants, not the civilian population. The Moral Law must be observed in all matters during the conduct of hostilities.
Unlike secular concepts of just war, the Catholic concept allows for pre-emptory actions, because the purpose of a just war, in Catholic teaching, is to restore the order of justice, and as soon as unjust men begin to prepare for war, a Catholic power can intervene to reduce them to submission, because it is never just that unjust men bear arms capable of harming others. Obviously, in such cases, prior unjust actions must have been perpetrated.
But just war theory in Catholic teaching requires a complete understanding of that in which justice consists, for it is easy to justify an action on the basis of a partial review of information, facts, motives or goals. For this reason, while non-Catholic nations are capable of engaging in just wars, they often fail to do so justly, because they ignore the teachings of Jesus Christ in principle and a priori, that is, before all other considerations are made.
For this reason, Catholic teaching would disagree fundamentally with many of the so-called Rules of Engagement used against terrorists. We can see this in the decision by Pope Sixtus V to put to death 5,000 individuals as brigands, who were found in the possession of arms, on Papal roads, after, inan extraordinary decree to suppress brigandage, he forbade under pain of death the bearing of arms on the road. His ban was only for a time, but during that time all who violated were arrested and executed as brigands. Thus, we can see from this example, that sufficient advance notice to all is sufficient grounds to regard those bearing arms in a war zone or terrorist zone, as combatants. An actual, live use of force is not the only rational basis to determine a threat.
Moreover, there can be just wars even by Catholic powers against Catholic powers, not because our Faith has nothing to do with war, but because being Catholic does not guarantee that you are just in all things. Likewise, there can be just wars by a Catholic power to a rebellious province or region, when that rebellion threatens the Catholic Faith or the stability of the state, and is not based on just cause but on brigandage and treachery.
Finally, I have written this essay for the edification of the faithful, not because I am either in favor or opposed to the use of arms, but simply because it is a topic upon which nearly no clergy speak, and in which so many clergy speak contrary to the teaching of Jesus Christ, or against the natural law.

During the so-called Corona pandemic, the Vatican and China have engaged in a curious exchange of medical supplies.
According to reports, the Vatican sent 700,000 medical masks to China. According to Asianews.it this shipment was sent in February, and a tenth of those masks were designated for the people of the Wenzhou Diocese, which is governed by a Catholic Bishop, not by a government-approved bishop, Mons. Peter Shao Zhumin, who was nominated by Pope Benedict XVI and consecrated in 2011.
IlFattoQuotidiano.it, however, reports that the medical masks were shipped to China by the Vatican Pharmacy, but were donated by the Chinese Catholics of Italy. The collection began on January 27. They were shipped from Fumicino Airport, here in Rome, bearing the seal of the Papal Almsgiver.
The need for the shipment was not clear, since according to Il Fatto Quotidiano, more than 50% of all medical masks manufactured in the world, are made in China.
Mons. Peter Shao Zhumin, then called upon the faithful of his diocese to return the favor. This was also done in many dioceses throughout the People’s Republic of China and in Hong Kong. You can see a photograph of him in the Featured Image of this article. Bishop Shao Zhumin is 57 years of age.
Then, on April 1, there arrived from China, 100,000 medical masks, according to AgenSir.it. The Catholic Charity organizing the shipment is Jinde Charities (Ed. Note: Warning, this link goes to a server in the PRC), founded by Father John Baptist Zhan.
Fides.org is reporting that the value of the masks and equipment sent from China, by Jinde Charities, amounted to 450,000 Euros. The shipment which was sent from China to Milan, by plane, was stored in the warehouses of Caritas Ambrosiana, at Milan, before being distributed to hospitals in Italy and the Vatican.
The material sent from China is described by Fides.org as the following: 10, 000 masks (model N95), another 500,000 disposable masks, 27,000 surgical gloves, 8,000 coveralls and 6,000 protective glasses.
Fides.org also reports, in the same article, that earlier this year, the Vatican donated 200,000 Euros to China to help with the Corona epidemic and did this through the same charity, Jinde Charities, which is now sending medical supplies to the Vatican.
However, Avvenire.it, the official daily newspaper of the Italian Bishops’ Conference is saying that this 200,000 euros was sent to various organs of the Catholic Church in China.
But LaStampa.it says, rather, the Vatican sent $100,000 USD, before Christmas, the payment being made to Jinde Charities by the Vatican Department for Integral Human Development, but destined for the poor of mountainous regions of Hebei and Guizhou provinces. In passing, La Stampa also reveals that Jinde Charities in 2017 held a fundraiser at the Cathedral of the Patriotic Church in Peking, which was attended by many political organizations of the Marxist government. La Stampa’s report glories in the collaboration of the Vatican with the Marxist government.
How the Chinese government can be so bitterly persecuting the Church in China but allowing Catholic charities to operate and engage in such large scale shipments, is not clear. It is also not clear whether the entities in China accept or not the Vatican-China accord which illegitimately subjected the Church in China to the governmental authorities demands: an accord which is, till this day, secret, and not even revealed to Cardinal Zen, as to its precise terms.
THESE PRAYERS ARE SAID EACH MIDNIGHT
IN FRONT OF THE BASILICA OF SANTA MARIA MAGGIORE AT ROME
This devotion is inspired by the request made by Our Lady Herself in Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich’s Vision of
August 25, 1822: “I know not now how I went to Rome last night, but I found myself near the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. Around it I saw crowds of poor, pious souls, in great distress and anxiety on account of the Pope’s disappearance and the agitation and alarming reports throughout the city. Led by one common impulse, they had come to invoke the Mother of God. They did not expect to find the church open, they intended only to pray outside. But I was inside, I opened the door and they entered, astounded at the door’s opening of itself. I was standing aloof where they could not see me. There was no service, only the chancel-lamps were burning, and the people knelt in quiet prayer. Then the Mother of God appeared. She said that great tribulations were at hand; that the people must pray earnestly with extended arms, if only for the length of three Our Fathers, for it was thus that her Son had prayed for them upon the Cross; that they should rise at midnight to pray thus; that they should continue to come to Her church which they would always find open; and that they should, above all, pray for the extirpation of the Church of Darkness. … I know not whether the people saw the apparition or not, but they must have been impressed by something supernatural for, when the Blessed Virgin said they should pray to God with arms extended, all lifted up their arms … It seemed to be an association of prayer.” From this time Sister Emmerich assisted nightly at the pious exercises at Santa Maria Maggiore.
