At Fatima, the Holy Theotokos, that is, the Blessed Virgin Mary, warned us about Russia and how wars, persecutions of the Holy Father and of the Church, the the slaughter of the Faithful in great numbers would result, if Russia were not consecrated to Her Immaculate Heart, as the Divine Majesty had requested.
But in this message, we often fail to pay attention to the warning of about the errors. And this is especially troublesome since these errors have been spread so far and wide in the last 100 years that many Christians and even Catholics accept these errors as truth, and reject revealed truth, as an error.
And this is the cause, in my opinion, why so many good intentioned Catholics have flipped into Russian trolls here at FromRome.Info, pushing every Russian talking point, or at least some of them, without any rational argument, and villfying anyone who disagrees, as we have seen during the Scamdemic, where many friends and family, even clergy and religious, began preaching the DeathMask or the DeathVax with religious fervor bordering on the fanatical.
So, I think it will be helpful to list some of the errors which Russia has spread, to get an idea of how corrupted our societies are by them.
Revolt against God, as King
This error is the genus of many errors, from promoting the overthrow of Christian Monarchy, hatred of Monarchy per se, attacks on Patriarchy, authority per se, or the proper role of men in society. And this because God has decided to rule the world through these things, and thus all who hate them, have accepted that revolting from God is something good, and submitting to the Divine Order of things is evil, backward or vicious.
Revolt against God, thus, does not only include Atheism. And we would be wrong to think, that so long as we are believers, we cannot be guilty of embracing this error.
Revolt against God, as the Good
This error is the genus of many errors, too, from promoting progress instead of sanctification, reform instead of justice, equality instead of distinction and hierarchy, and rights instead of duties, or will instead of honesty. And this is because God’s most proper Name is “the Good”. God alone is Good, says Our Lord, Who used words in their simple and absolute sense. But through the error of Russia evil is now called good and good evil, since rebellion against God as the Good is now called the only good, the form of love.
Revolt against God, as the Truth
With the Bolshevik Revolution, the rejection of God as the Truth has advanced throughout the world. And this should not surprise us since it was spearheaded and led by Jews who rejected not only Jesus Christ but the God of the Old Testament too. They took instead the Father of Lies who was a murderer from the beginning, and have fashioned the entire marxist political ideology on making lying a state-craft, and mass murder an instrument of government.
The denial of God as the Truth also leads to the denial of the truth of man. The concept of “the truth of man” is not a modern one, even Sts. Thomas and Bonaventure speak of it. This term refers to all that pertains to the right understanding of man’s nature, what he is and what he is meant to be. But with the Bolshevik revolution man is no longer a spiritual being, he evolves, and not by any providence, but by happenstance. So many Christians in accepting evolution, scientism and political ideologies are in reality denying God as the truth and the truth of man, simultaneously. That is why they are so vicious against those who disagree with them, because they are defending their “truth” which is now their “god”.
Revolt against God as Beauty
To look upon God is the most wonderful and sublime joy of man, but this is reserved in its fullness only to the Saints. The error of Russia against God, as Beauty, has led not only to a corruption of Theology — where in Catholic Schools God is completely ignored as its proper object — or to the corruption of philosophy — where the contemplation of being has been replaced by an analysis of terminology — but even to the destruction of culture, where the works of beauty are called ugliness and ugliness is exalted as beauty, and the promotion of true art is called a waste of time, while millions are spent to promote ugliness, to the denigration of mind, spirit and society.
And the result of all these errors is the unbridled surge in violence since the time of the Bolshevik Revolution, not only on the scale of mass murder, such as in the Holodomor, or against the most innocent, such as in the womb, but also in public and private discourse, where vilification and contumely is considered acceptable. Hatred of truth, goodness and innocence, is the consummate ugliness of the human spirit or of even the angelic. And one cannot tolerate it without love of ugliness itself.
While it is true, that these errors did not originate in Russia, it is still true that with the Bolshevik Revolution they spread to all the world and have insinuated themselves in institutions of learning and formation world wide.
Errors of Russia are the control switches of public debate today
And all these together explain much of the current political controversies against national identity, the right of self defense, the right to practice the Christian religion, the right to human liberty,a and lead unsuspecting minds, even among Catholics, to glorify tyranny, the persecution of the Church, the hatred of the clergy and religious, and the addition to things material and carnal as man’s only true joys and endeavors.
Pacifism is one of the worst errors today
Chief among these errors of Russia is the one which the Bolsheviks promote to disarm Catholics: pacifism. The pacifist is an angel of light, because while he pretends to be as angelic as a Saint who wont hurt a fly ever, he advocates that nothing effective be done against monstrous attacks against the innocent. So while advocating the extreme of apparent virtue, he enables the most devilish injustices.
The error of pacifism today keeps the victims of the Scamdemic neutralized and Conservatives ever to seek peace with Marxists, who want only to destroy them. It leads us to endure and elect Freemasons, and to reduce all opposition to the poignant lamentation which results in nothing.
Russian pacifists today want Ukraine to surrender and preach despair against all who would help her. They are like the perverted friends of a man who would rape his neighbor because she refuses to marry him, and argue against any intervention by anyone else, because “he will have her in the end, no matter what”. It is especially shameful to find such a mind among nations which should know better about the Russian menance for the last 100 years, such as Poland or Hungary, even though it is not surprising from nations which are totally infiltrated by socialists like the USA or the United Kingdom.
Pacifists are also, implicitly, atheists, who believe there is no value in the world to come or the dedication of human life to values which transcend or risk the grave. They despise heroism and hate those who would come to the defense of the innocent, because for them the only value is being “non violent” and for that they will gladly sacrifice your life and your nation.
This is why the Ukrainians are so hated today in so many halls of “Conservatism”. Because they are actually using gun rights to defend their borders, their Christian rights, and their right to vote as they will to determine their future. A sane Christian will see this and realize that Ukraine, despite all the faults of her present government is doing what all Catholic minds who have opposed the French Revolution have been saying for 200 years!
But the relativist, who judges the truth of everyone on the basis of what is contrary to their domestic political opponents will not see that, because he has already accepted the error of Russia about Who constitutes absolute objective Truth.
And the conservative who prances into social media to defend such rights, but never actually goes so far as Ukrainians to defend them, is incensed that they are stealing attention from his display of vanity and showing himself to be a wimp and pacifist, and worse of all, as a people who are not controlled by his theatrics.
For to act on the truth, will merit you today hatred from all who have accepted one or more of these Errors of Russia.
And so it is.
I’m surprised by many Catholics who have run to Russia and Putins defense over this war. Is shows people lack basic understanding in morality when comes to the use of war or just cause. Putin is sending Tens of thousands of muslims from across southern Islamic Russia that have volunteered to join the war against Ukraine. Because they wish to have to pleasure of killing and raping Christians( including about 5 million Catholics) wake up Catholics! I get the globalist mason bankers are evil and control the west but Russia isn’t doing us any favours either!
I’m surprised anyone has run to the defense of either side. The puppet government of Ukrainian is as brutish and thuggish as the Russia. If feel sorry for the innocent Ukrainian civilians caught in the middle of this mess that was instigated by the United States.
Brother, thank you for spreading the details about exactly what these errors are. May these corrections of Russia’s errors be spread, comprehended, acknowledged, and the errors repented from by concrete acts of reparation by all of those who have in any way participated in them. May they learn to love the truth in their souls and in concrete acts of virtue. Viva Cristo Re!
Whether or not you believe the recent act by Pope Emeritus Benedict XIV, Pope Francis, and all the Bishops of the Church was a valid consecration or not. It’s unfortunate that a request made over a century ago wasn’t done by the Pope shorty after receiving it. It allowed the Soviet Russians spread their errors throughout the world many decades ago an they persist unto this day.
I agree that complete pacifism against an enemy that is destroying innocent life is nonsense. However, until God raises up Catholics leaders who are willing to lead us, there’s little we can do. In order for a war to be just, there must be reasonable chance of victory.
The Maccabees eventually died in battle: we are not always assured victory. Those embued with authority bear responsibility to lead a defense: bishops failing to exorcise abortuaries will face a terrible judgment.
On the civil side of things, 1789 would not have happened had Louis XIV heeded Margaret Mary Alocoque (instead of his Jesuit advisors).
God it is Who permits the unleashing of The Horsemen & Who turns them back as well: it appears our lot to obtain the healing of the papacy that the true Pontiff effect the required Consecration of Russia. In addition to Mary’s Psalter, the Faithful have, of course, access to the OT Psalms: the Fifth begs God’s removal of unworthy power brokers. Including it in one’s daily prayers makes a worthy exercise, especially before the poverty of the typical soul’s resources.
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20
And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. Jn 1:5
The world will never be converted…..
Jesus has already pronounced the verdict..
Our duty as disciples of the Lord is to share the Gospel to a dying world in the hope that some will be saved.

Thank you for detailing exactly the errors of Russia. Throughout the whole world, Modernism and Moral Relativism have led the collapse and implosion of the Catholic Church. Freemasonry and Sodomy have destroyed the Church from within. Christ is no longer proclaimed as Sovereign King. The Social Kingship of Christ is replaced by Liberalism, and the full on effort to establish the evil NWO. Add to this an antipope who is doing his evil best to lead all men straight to Hell. Yes, the errors of Russia. And, an antipope who only cares about “consecrating” humanity to the devil. Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!
The abhorent videos and damning evidence on the Hunter Biden laptop should be sufficient to render Bugnolo’s polish campaign kaput. Otherwise 800yrs of the Franciscan Order will be dragged into the mud along with Bugnolo and his ally Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden’s laptop has nothing to do with this war, and if you think it does, you are transfering your anger as that perversion from Hunter Biden onto innocent Ukrainians. I think that would be more evil, so I find your argument absurd. Meanwhile, if you are so outraged by that, how many politicians in the USA have you called urging action to punish Hunter? Is that not more morally consonant with your rage, than throwing 44 million Ukrainians under the bus?
If you think the Bidens, Obama’s, Kerrys, and Clinton’s didn’t cause all this, then you have no idea what is going on in Ukraine the last 8 years. There’s been bribery, Human trafficking, Coups, and assassinations by US government agencies in the Ukraine for it’s benefit. It’s Evil vs Evil with the Ukrainian citizens stuck in the middle of their fight over more money and power. At least Russia is trying to not kill civilians, can’t say the same about the Ukraine military.
If you think Russia is NOT trying to kill civilians, I think you must not be watching the news. They are raping, drive by shooting, bombing and missle attacking residential buildins in all the eastern cities of the country. But as to your argument about causality, there are different kinds of causality. But as to moral causality, Russia alone is responsible for its war of agression. Whether Putin was tricked or goaded he is still responsible, since a nation cannot resort to war or invent reasons for war simply because it lusts for the territory and resources of a neighbor. That is barbaric and is rightfully condemned by the whole world.
A very comprehensive article Brother Alexis. The essential truth is that Russia has not been converted yet . The conversion Our Lady speaks about that will bring the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart is a conversion to the Roman catholic faith.
Despite the veneer of being a christian country, the reality is that Russia is still controlled by bolshevik jewish forces who determine the direction the country will take.
Russia’s war is against a predominantly catholic country, the Ukraine is highly symbolic. This is part of the masonic war against the catholic church, which began with the French revolution, and has continued ever since.
The slogans of the French revolution; liberty ,equality and ,fraternity are completely masonic and these concepts morphed into the bolshevik revolution in Russia, and the advance of liberalism and democracy in the west.
Russia’s errors infecting the west today are marxism, environmentalism ,atheism , feminism, abortion, sodomy, and the abomination of transgenderism that seeks to overturn Gods natural order.
The purpose of these ideologies is to destroy the Christian family and thus destroy the church.
Ukraine is 90% Orthodox and 3% Catholic — if I remember correctly.
