It seems that COVID-19 vaccine mandates are inevitable. According to Reuters,1 the U.S. government is planning to launch an “overwhelming” COVID-19 vaccine campaign come November, and many — especially Bill Gates — have suggested that vaccination of the entire global population2 will likely be necessary to get COVID-19 under control. Some have even suggested that the vaccine be mandatory.3
Billions of dollars have been invested in vaccine development, and one would be foolish to imagine these companies and investors are not going to do everything in their power to turn COVID-19 into a profit maker, and that may well include the use of force. It’s still unclear exactly when a vaccine will be available, but it could be as early as October, or as late as January 2021.
Prepare for Massive Brainwashing Campaign
Yale University is also conducting a trial4 to determine the type of message that will maximize acceptance and uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine. Messaging slants under investigation include:5
Personal freedom message — A message about how COVID-19 is limiting people’s personal freedom and how working together to get enough people vaccinated can preserve society’s personal freedoms.
Economic freedom message — A message about how COVID-19 is limiting people’s economic freedom and how, by working together to get enough people vaccinated, society can preserve its economic freedom.
Self-interest message — A message that COVID-19 presents a real danger to one’s health, even if one is young and healthy, with the idea being that getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the best way to prevent oneself from getting sick.
Community interest message — A message about the dangers of COVID-19 to the health of loved ones. The idea to promote is that the more people who get vaccinated against COVID-19, the lower the risk that one’s loved ones will get sick. The idea: Society must work together and all get vaccinated.
Economic benefit message — A message about how COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on the economy and the only way to strengthen the economy is to work together to get enough people vaccinated.
Guilt message — This message is about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one’s family and community, with the idea that the best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated, and that society must work together to get enough people vaccinated. Then it asks the participant to imagine the guilt they will feel if they don’t get vaccinated and spread the disease.
Embarrassment message — This message is about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one’s family and community. The idea to promote is that the best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and by working together to make sure enough people get vaccinated. Then it asks the participant to imagine the embarrassment they will feel if they don’t get vaccinated and subsequently spread the disease.
Anger message — This message is about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one’s family and community. The sales idea is that the best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and by working together to make sure that enough people get vaccinated. It then asks the participant to imagine the anger they will feel if they don’t get vaccinated and spread the disease.
Trust in science message — A message about how getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most effective way of protecting one’s community. It promotes the idea that vaccination is backed by science, and that anyone who doesn’t get vaccinated doesn’t understand how infections are spread or who ignores science.
Not bravery message — A message which describes how firefighters, doctors and front line medical workers are brave, and infers that those who choose not to get vaccinated against COVID-19 are not brave.
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. (The Life and Revelations of Ann Catherine Emmerich, Book 2)
(Prayers will be said in Italian, Black, and English: Blue)
In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.

Address to the French People on the Feast of St. Louis IX, King of France
by Louis Alphonse de Burbon
(Louise Alphonse is descendant of Bourbons who renounced their claims to both the thrones of France and Spain. He styles himself Duke of Anjou and Louis XX, in his claim for the French Throne, however.)
English translation.
With the responsibility imposed on me by eight centuries of Capetian royalty, of which I am the heir, the current seriousness of the state of France , leads me to express myself, on this day when the Church celebrates Saint Louis, the model of rulers.
I have to admit that our country is sinking into more and more serious days, while I would like my statements to salute the renewal, that all faithful French people who believe in the destiny of their country, which they hope for with all their heart.
Affected for several years by a moral crisis which makes Her doubt Herself, Her mission, and Her identity, France is forced also to undergo numerous attacks from the outside, so diffuse and perverse that it is difficult to always identify them well.
It is difficult to find the right responses. The difficulty is all the greater as the truth is no longer looked at in the face and words are disguised by ideology to the point of losing their meaning.
Those who resist valiantly without losing confidence, often animated by a deep faith, are not enough to redress the situation.
Likewise, our soldiers engaged in many areas beyond our borders, note that their sacrifice and their abnegation are not enough in isolation to recreate a winning dynamic
The battles are certainly won on the ground, but it is first of all in the hearts and minds that the conditions for victory are forged, which must find its political expression.
It would take only a few things to give Her back the taste and the sense of victory that France had, sure of Herself and of Her mission; and remind Her of the great moments of Her past which remain examples for tomorrow.
This state of mind, which could arise again if the French wanted it, seems forgotten, annihilated. The “elites” since the Revolution have acted only out of self-interest. When will we return to the Common Good, to justice, to the protection of the weakest?
When will we agree to give words back their meaning and forget that there is no incivility, no young savages, but gratuitous violence and new barbarians without faith or law that we must fight and punish. Indeed, each of their crimes ruins social life?
Social life is already very difficult for many French people who are already faced with an often critical economic and social situation.
The last health crisis has shown how much our compatriots were capable of bursts and initiatives when the State does not oppress them; when it does not overwhelm them with increasingly heavy and unfair taxation since it no longer provides public services.
The French, in increasing numbers, realize that the institutions no longer meet their legitimate expectations.
How many more crises will it take? how many sacrificed for the eyes to open?
Lucid minds have asked the question of whether these events, with the accumulated errors that result in hundreds of thousands of deaths all over the world, were not the occasion to reflect on the disorders of the last decades.
The beautiful symbol of the “day after” seemed to hold a future. In reality a few months later, bad habits have largely triumphed over good resolutions and the days after seem even more catastrophic than those before.
The vote, in front of an almost deserted assembly of the so-called bio-ethics law (approving abortion up to the 9th month) is the most striking manifestation of this… It is at the same time contrary to the natural order and to ethics.
This law combines the denial of the current representative system by the way in which it was developed and the break with the foundations of humanity.
Manipulations against nature are taking a new step towards a society of the chimera where no limit seems to hold back men. The society of fear and constraints is now also that of planned death.
What world awaits us? What world will we leave to our children?
I am speaking here as heir and successor to the Kings of France, but also as father and husband. I know how many young couples are worried about the future of society; the future of their children; of our children.
Fortunately, centuries of history teach us that the most terrible situations are not irreversible. France has escaped other dangers and this even when it almost lost its sovereignty as in the time of Charles VII.
Joan of Arc’s mission saved him from a peril all the more eminent as the enemy was already installed on our soil. The one who in 1920 became the patron saint of Patriotism saved the country and restored the legitimate monarchy.
May Saint Louis, model of sovereigns and rulers, protect the France and help him find the meaning of his mission.

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. (The Life and Revelations of Ann Catherine Emmerich, Book 2)
(Prayers will be said in Italian, Black, and English: Blue)
In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.

E per mezzo degli infiniti meriti del Suo Sacratisimo Cuore e del Cuore Immacolato di Maria, Ti chiedo la conversione dei poveri peccatori. O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly! and I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles on earth, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And through the infnite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.
O Santissima Trinità, Ti adoro! Mio Dio, mio Dio, Ti amo nel Santissimo Sacramento! O Most Holy Trinity, I adore thee! My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament!
O Gesù, questa è per amore Tuo, per la conversione dei peccatori e in riparazione dei peccati commessi contro il Cuore Immacolato di Maria. O Jesus, this is for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
O mio Gesù, perdonaci, salvaci dal fuoco dell’inferno. Guida tutte le povere anime in Cielo, specialmente quelle che ne hanno maggiore necessità. O My Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of Hell. Lead all poor souls to Heaven, especially those who are most in need.

* Salus populi Romani, is Latin, for The Salvation of the Roman People. It is the ancient title of the Icon of Our Lady see at the top of this article.
Being a hermit with no earthly superior but Pope Benedict XVI, my bishop, I tend to go on some unusual missions. Here is a short report on what I have been doing for the Lord Jesus and what I am about to do for His people in Lebanon.
A Report on My Mission to Italy
Since Oct. 19, 2019, I have been here in Italy, promoting the cause of Pope Benedict XVI. I have attended an Academic Conference where I gave 2 papers demonstrating that he is still the Pope, and I wrote 700+ Members of the Clergy of the Diocese of Rome, sharing with them my Scholastic Question proving the same. I also shared that tract with 500+ students of theology from November 2019 to January 2010. I sought to meet with Cardinal Burke and Bishop Arrieta. The former evaded my requests, the latter granted me my request on the first asking and spoke with me in person on Dec. 11, 2019.
These efforts demonstrated clearly that the Roman Curia knows that Pope Benedict XVI is still the pope, but that they prefer to pretend that not words but intentions matter, in a juridical act, even though they presume the words to have an intention which is not objectively certain or provable. They simply have dumped Canon Law into the dustbin of their own prejudices and clericalism, and run riot alone their own desires to be rid of Pope Benedict XVI.
This first part of my mission here at Rome was supported by two Romans who donated $150 and my brother, John, who loaned me $12,000 for expenses and then forgave the debt, when no one else came to help me repay it.
In January, after coming down with a bad winter flu, I looked back on life to see how little I’ve done for the Lord and I considered soberly that I could not constantly ask my brother for help. So I asked the readers of FromRome.Info and upgraded the blog to an electronic newspaper. This was just in time for the Scamdemic. And I am very thankful that throughout it all, you my readers have supported me in everything. THANK YOU!
In response to my coverage and expose of the Scamdemic readership exploded at FromRome.Info, which got 3x more readers in 2020 than in all previous 6 years
Considering how dangerous the politics of the Scamdemic is, I encouraged Catholics in Italy to form a Catholic political party, called L’Italia per gli Italiani (Italy for Italians!). The party will be legally founded in September, and then the Italians will have to take control of it and run with it.
In June, I saw the wisdom of founding a Radio TV station to promote the defense of persecuted Christians. A. J. Baalman, co-founder of Ordo Militaris Catholicus had urged me to this for several years. So in June, he began Ordo-Militaris.Net with a grant by the Order, and he and I have been doing an hour long show nearly every weekday and Saturday since.
On the Feast of Saint Bonaventure I decided to revive an apostolate come Academic colleagues of mine and myself attempted to start in 2016. The Scholasticum is an attempt to revive the Scholastic Method of education which made Saint Thomas Aquinas and Saint Bonaventure such great lights for the Church. This Fall I will be teaching telematically a course on the Trinity. There are currently 8 students, and I expect many more before class begins on Oct. 5.
On August 4, as you may know, a terrible explosion took place at Beirut, Lebanon. In response, as head of Ordo Militaris Inc., a Catholic NGO dedicated to the humanitarian aid and assistance of Christians, I established the Beirut Humanitarian Relief Fund. So far about $13,500 has been raised, by the generosity and charity of the readers of FromRome.Info, my benefactors here in Italy, the followers of the Order and readers of other blogs, especially Canon212.com, the only Catholic publication in the USA which would take an advertisement to help them.
Preparing to go on Mission to Lebanon
So now my duties as president of Ordo Militaris Inc. will take me to Beirut. When I will return to Italy or the U.S.A., I do not know. I put that in the hands of God.
But on Mission I will need help. Because I cannot rely on either the NGO nor the Fund for my expenses. I have to pay my own expenses, which will be about $2500 USD a month. Everything is much more expensive in Lebanon due to the crisis, and it will be a challenge to live in a country where I do not speak Arabic.
Before I go, I also have to pay the remaining rent I owe, 1800 euros. And purchase a air-line ticket to Lebanon.
In my apostolic work I like to be frank and sincere with everyone. I do not have a salary, I live like Saint Francis and put all my trust in God that he will provide. But Saint Francis also told us, his sons, to beg without shame, so that God can through good souls send us His providence.
So if there are any of you who would like to help me on my Mission to Lebanon, please consider making a donation by clicking the donation button below.
As always, there are 2 ways to help me, either through the FromRome.Info banner, which takes your payment through Stripe and sends it to Ordo Militaris Inc., or through the PayPal Button, which takes your payment through PayPal and sends it to the US Charity, Save Old St. Mary’s Inc., which supports me in my religious works.
