by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
In 1909, during his audience with the Franciscans, Pope St. Pius X fell into an ecstasy.
When he came out of it, he was asked, “What I have seen is terrible! Is it I or one of my successors. I do not know. I saw a pope flee from the Vatican, walking upon the cadavers of his priests.”
Of a second vision, sometime before his death on August 20, 1914, the Saintly Pope said again, now with more precision: “I saw one of my successors, with my same name, who fled, walking upon the cadavers of his brothers. He will take refuge in a hidden place. But after a short rest, he will die a cruel death.”
The source of this testimony is repeated by several Italian authors, such as Antonio Socci, as something which was considered credible by even those who work in the Vatican, but I can find no certain person or source for it.
As for what these words of the Saintly pope mean. First, let me explain that the term, “brothers” in the mouth of the Pope in those times refers to his brother Cardinals. Second, the Italian, which I have translated as “with my same name”, means one who has the same name. This could be Pius or his baptismal name, Joseph.
Well since Pope Pius X there have been 2 popes named Pius: Pius XI and Pius XII, but neither of them had to flee the Vatican, nor did either die a cruel death — a phrase which I translated literally from the Italian, and which means a death in which there is a shedding of blood.
But Pope Benedict XVI’s baptismal name is Joseph.
So if this vision pertains to him, then it not only foretells a horrible end for him, but signifies that in the mystical visions of Pope Saint Pius X, God had revealed that Pope Benedict XVI will be the true successor of Saint Peter unto the very day of his death. And that means Bergoglio was never the pope.
Did Mr. Church not allow the sharing of the video and be able to set it at the specific time the Fatima Author mentioned Pope Benedict? Thank you for clearing it up and properly translating it.
No, I chose not to embed that video, because it is very offensive that Mr. Church calls Bergoglio Holy anything.
As you have consistently attested PBXVI did not resign the Munus of the Papacy only the Ministerium. It doesn’t matter if he did this designedly or not, the fact that it did not conform with Canon Law governing such papal resignations made it invalid. Consequently, the conclave was also invalid in that it was held when PBXVI was still our living Pope & as it also did not comply with the Rules set down by PJPII applying to papal elections it also was invalid & illegal.
This fraudulent usurpation of the Holy See by Modernists is the most devilish & conniving assault on the Deity of Christ & we must release ourselves from its dominance come what may. We are in grave danger of losing the Holy Mass & Sacraments of the Church if no-one in authority steps forward to denounce corrupt Antipope F & his cartel. I cannot understand how practically our entire prelature is willing to sit on the fence & hope for one or other to die before taking any action to proclaim that PBXVI is still our Pope & AF is an Antipope, most likely the False Prophet. His outrageous words & actions must be made null & void so that we can at last look forward to the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary & know the content of the Third Secret of Fatima.
A CONFIRMATION OF THE REVELATION GIVEN TO PIUS X THAT BENEDICT IS THE TRUE POPE IS FROM WHAT WAS HAD BEEN SHOWN TO ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI NEARLY 700 YEARS PREVIOUSLY.
Shortly before he died in 1226, St. Francis of Assisi called together the members of his order and warned them of great tribulations that would befall the Church in the future, saying:
“Act bravely, my Brethren; take courage, and trust in the Lord. The time is fast approaching in which there will be great trials and afflictions; perplexities and dissensions, both spiritual and temporal, will abound; the charity of many will grow cold, and the malice of the wicked will increase”.
“The devils will have unusual power, the immaculate purity of our Order, and of others, will be so much obscured that there will be very few Christians who will obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church with loyal hearts and perfect charity. [THERE WILL BE TWO POPES REIGNING WITH MOST CATHOLICS FOLLOWING THE FALSE POPE]
At the time of this tribulation a man, not canonically elected,* will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavor to draw many into error and death.” [THE PREVIOUS FALSE POPES WERE IN THE 1400’S BUT NONE OF THESE TRIED TO SUBVERT THE FAITH. THIS THEN IS A PROPHECY OF FRANCIS AND BENEDICT, THE TRUE POPE AND CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THE SEDEVANCANTIS ARE WRONG IN SAYING THE PAPACY IS VACANT.]
“Then scandals will be multiplied, our Order will be divided, and many others will be entirely destroyed, because they will consent to error instead of opposing it. [Literally fulfilled in 1998 and 2014: See page 11]
“There will be such diversity of opinions and schisms among the people, the religious and the clergy that, except those days were shortened, according to the words of the Gospel, [The End Times Tribulation!] even the elect would be led into error, were they not specially guided, amid such great confusion, by the immense mercy of God. [SHOWS THIS IS AT THE LAST DAY AT THE TIME OF THE TRIBULATION / CHASTISEMENT.]
“Then our Rule and manner of life will be violently opposed by some, and terrible trials will come upon us. Those who are found faithful will receive the crown of life; but woe to those who, trusting solely in their Order, shall fall into tepidity, for they will not be able to support the temptations permitted for the proving of the elect.
“Those who preserve their fervor and adhere to virtue with love and zeal for the truth, will suffer injuries and, persecutions as rebels and schismatics; for their persecutors, urged on by the evil spirits, will say they are rendering a great service to God by destroying such pestilent men from the face of the earth. But the Lord will be the refuge of the afflicted, and will save all who trust in Him. And in order to be like their Head [Jesus Christ], these, the elect, will act with confidence, and by their death will purchase for themselves eternal life; choosing to obey God rather than man, they will fear nothing, and they will prefer to perish rather than consent to falsehood and perfidy.
“Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it under foot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor, but a destroyer.”

Dear Brother Alexis,
Thank you so much for your great zeal for the sanctification of souls!
I must confess that as of right now, I do believe that Francis is the pope and that Benedict XVI did resign for he said on February 11, 2013, “as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is. ”
I find you a venerable servant in the vineyard of the Lord, Brother Alexis, but I can’t find myself to go against the judgement of Cardinal Burke, Cardinal Bradmueller, and Bishop Schneider who consider Francis as the true Pope. More importantly, I don’t think my spiritual director would allow me to do much research into whether or not Benedict is pope. That being said, I only want the truth. Even Taylor Marshall said in one of his recent videos with Timothy Flanders that if he finds out that a group of cardinals stormed Benedict’s apartment with guns and forced him to resign, he would accept that Benedict is pope. But until then, he considers Francis as pope.
I had a question concerning this vision. I have heard from Christopher Ferrara and others that this vision is legit. It seems to parallel the vision of the third secret as well. However, could Benedict still be the pope mentioned in this prophecy even if he validly resigned? I seem to believe he could be, but I value your wise judgment.
To close, my faith is being shaken the longer masses are banned and countries become more totalitarian. My neighboring province just introduced a tracking app and while they have let masses return, singing and communion is banned. I would truly love it, Brother Alexis, if you, Bishop Lenga, and Bishop Gracida have a friendly discussion with Cardinal Burke, Cardinal Bradmueller and Bishop Schneider if at all possible on whether Pope Benedict actually did resign. As things get worse in the church and as more is known about Benedict’s latest biography, more people will flock to Benedict as the true pope for better or for worse. I now say in my prayers, “I pray for Pope Francis and Pope Benedict, whoever may be the true pope.”
God bless you, Brother Alexis! May the truth be clear to all!
Josephat,
I think you still misunderstand the nature of truth in a canonical argument. It does not regard opinion. Opinion is truth when it comes to polls and votes. But in a canonical argument, truth is found in the words used in the legal act.
Here are two articles to help you understand why in appealing to the opinions of anyone, you are erring gravely in the nature of the dispute:

https://fromrome.info/2019/12/11/viva-guadalajara/
This second article I read aloud to Bishop Arrieta, in the offices of the Pontifical Council for Legal Texts and he agreed that it represented a valid argument.
Thank you, Brother, for posting this! I am sure you and most reading your post realize the concurrence of this vision of such a great Pope, Pius X, with the supposed vision aspect of the 3rd Secret of Fatima.
Dr. Maria Desjardins
Thanks Brother Alexis. Your posting today rings of truth and rings more loudly as the reality of the evil in the world and the Church unfolds day by day.
I pray, that I am wrong. I do not want to see Pope Benedict XVI suffer such a cruel fate.
I think Pope Benedict is suffering a cruel fate now.
Such a beautiful reminder of just how important the role of our current Pope Benedict XVI truly is and why we MUST pray for him. Despite his so-called “old age”, God may be allowing his apparent “old age” and “frailty” to serve as a shield, making his enemies think that he’s no longer capable of anything, so they don’t see him as a threat, but just like God gave Sarah and Abraham a child at old age, God could give Benedict XVI the strength of a gazelle to flee if it were to happen.
Also, didn’t Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich also have a vision of how the True Pope would suffer greatly during this time of the “two popes”?
No-one wants to see PBXVI, an old man by any account, suffer such a fate, but what he did by his inaccurate act of resignation, bifurcation of the Papacy & inventing the title Pope Emeritus, was a very grave error that has torn apart the Catholic world into factions & has smashed the unity of the CC which held strong for 2,000 years. Cardinal against Cardinal, Bishop against Bishop, families in disarray about the Truth of what exactly occurred. Most people just want to be led in the right direction – they don’t have time or expertise (or maybe the interest) to read the Canons which takes years of study & even then we have canon lawyers at each others throats concerning the outcome of what certainly appears to have been a false resignation, followed by a false conclave & election.
It is the duty of the Cardinals to sort this matter out & make the necessary proclamation. The fact that there is an enemy of Christ claiming to be Pope & who is seen to be a heretic, idolater, who doesn’t believe in Hell or the Deity of Jesus must surely be sufficient reason for the necessary denouncement.
Ana, if you still put any hope in the Cardinals, I cannot express my greater amazement as they are the principle criminals here, since they elected an antipope and hold fast to him. Do you think they are now going to say they did something criminal. That is not how human nature works. Their hearts are hard, their minds are closed, and they all have vicious motives for their behavior. The collapse of the Church is a direct cause of the Holy Spirit withdrawing from them. And that is a Divine Judgement already, which we cannot ignore, unless we ourselves be unjust.
I intended to call out the satanic intransigence of the Cardinals & Bishops in not carrying out their ecclesiastical duty to stand with Christ Our Saviour. At this point in time I do not expect them to lift us out of this Veil of Tears but they must also be fingered as Apostates alongside AF. It appears to me that they all have been blackmailed which supposes they are deeply imbedded in serious sin which they fear will be made public if they dare emerge from the stinking protection racket headed by Antipope Francis.
Thank you, I learn so much Church history, a blessing especially in this time.
Ana. I love your comments. I am no scholar, but my sensus Catholicus tells me that something is seriously amiss in Christ’s Church. Where does that sensus come from? My baptism? Common sense? I don’t know, but I held fast to that notion. Then I started reading about Francis being an antipope, that there were canonical irregularities in the conclave etc, then Father Belland’s thesis that Benedict deliberately fouled up the renunciation, Ann Barnhardt; and then reading Brother’s cold clinical exposition of how Benedict failed to renounce the Papacy. My belief that there was something amiss was reinforced.
Was it Benedict’s fault? We may not know that in our lifetime, but my belief is no. From the moment Ratzinger was brought to Rome he became increasingly aware of the stench, what he called filth, that permeated the Church, and the stronghold of the forces of evil ecclesiastical masonry that gripped the Bishops and cardinals. Then there is the thrice fold supernatural protection which is afforded to the office, nay charge, when every bishop accepts the election. An office that Christ instigated and charged Peter to head cannot be taken lightly. An office that Satan has sought to put one of his own to lead. It is of immense significance to the Church and the world. An office that Our Blessed Lord knew would be assailed throughout history, and particularly today. An office that has taken all human foibles, machinations and even evil intent of many holders of the munus, and yet it protected Peter. And yes that includes Ratzinger who has/had many strange anti Catholic views, and yet this erudite and yet fallible man was called to head the Church at the time of its gravest danger.
Brother talks about Christ being bound by the laws of Peter. I find it bizarre that JP2 would write into church law canon 332 so early on in his papacy, concerning a papal resignation/renunciation, when such an event has rarely happened, and not for seven hundred years. But JP2 accepted the charge knowing full well that the forces of ecclesiastical masonry had killed JPI. And yet, there it sits condemning the malign forces electing the antipope Bergoglio, and the pusillanimity of the cardinals. Just one canon has laid bare the malignant puss suffocating Holy Mother. Not since the Cross have events seemed so dire. Then all the bishops ran away, save one. Here we are again but, like Our Blessed Mother, we are called to the theological virtue of hope and trust in the Lord. As then, now events are proceeding when all will seem lost Including being without Peter when Benedict dies. But we will have the Holy Rosary, and then the Immaculate Heart will triumph. We are all are going to have to enter the tomb, and be tried in our faith to trust in the Lord, for the resurrection and restoration of all things in Christ.
If we cannot rely on the bishops or cardinals, then I believe Mary will reveal the Great Monarch, Henri V, to do as many holy kings have done in the past, and restore the Papacy and the Church. I fervently believe the time is imminent. When all else has failed. Logos is rising.
Well, I have never believed Antipope Francis was canonically elected & remembered the St. Francis of Assisi address to his fellow monks. It was the way in which PBXVI seemingly abandoned the sheepfold & his silence when AF betrayed the Chinese Catholics to the CCP, blessed Pachamamas & other Amazonian idols & had one placed on the altar during the closing Mass that made the Apostasy complete. So many other heretical events, blasphemies etc. would in past times have been more than enough to denounce AF’s claim to the PO but these days the prelature are completely supporting him & haven’t carried out their duty to investigate this grave matter. Their stance is utterly demonic!
Of course we must stay at the foot of the Cross & will continue to pray the Rosary & other entreaties until our Churches are re-opened (if ever), putting our Trust in God & His Blessed Mother. I am fearful, though, of rebellion breaking out in Italy that could easily spread rapidly to engulf the world very quickly, such is our revulsion of the NWO & its aim for a godless society. The fact that Conte is prolonging the lockdown for another six months doesn’t bode well for Italy & being another non-elected prime minister (following AF’s example) I cannot see them going along with this. We have our own problems in Spain with an Atheist prime minister & a communist party supporting him in government but Vox & the PP are closely watching & I’m hopeful that their pressure will result in the re-opening of our Churches & a return to normality quite soon. If not, then another general election may result & I should be very surprised if PSOE (left liberal) & Podemus (communist) will get back into power.

Holy Mother Church is going through Her Gethsemani. Judas Antipope Bergoglio has sold Her for thirty pieces of silver.
Our sins also have put Her their. Let us repent pray and fast for Pope Benedict; for our purification; for deliverance of Holy Mother Church; and to drive the Synagogue of Satan and his Antipope Bergoglio out of Rome.
In this month of May, let us invoke the Immaculate Heart to save our Church and ourselves. Neither Francis nor his Gay Coven here (USCCB) and abroad (from La Casa Della Fagola, I mean Santa Marta, to Berlin) stand a chance.
We must only fight.
Viva Cristo Rey!
P. S. I note the striking similarity of the visions of dear Beppo Sarto with Fatima, the vision part of the Third Secret. There too the Pope is driven from Rome, over the corpses of his brother bishops and priests, to execution in a rain of gunfire, arrows and bullets.
Chris, you are absolutely correct! I am praying for a cataclysmic moment in Divine Providence – to make all very clear -. We are in need of a “certain trumpet” at this time! The difficult moments in the prophecies of Fatima must come before the promised time of Our Lady’s Triumph!
Thank you Dr. Desjardins–
I agree the Triumph is near. When all appears darkest. A Mass Blackout! What could Satan love more!? Courtesy of and Thanks! to his ‘Pope’ Bergoglio.
