Gänswein attempted to stop the immediate publication of his “tell-all” Book

8 Comments

Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

This news reveals that what is going on is either complex or the attempt at narrative control is multi layered. This report would have us accept as credible, that after signing a book deal with a major publisher run by the daughter of one of the leading political figures (allegedly corrupt and a freemason), that Pope Benedict XVI’s minder then attempted to block its publication immediately after the funeral of the late pope. Perhaps this is true, because he feared retribution from Bergoglio. Perhaps this is just another cover story to make the Archbishop look like he was truly respectful of Pope Benedict XVI.

But the contents of the book are damning as Cionci has shown in his recent review, where he expounds the attempts by the Archbishop to completely deny that Benedict XVI remained the pope, while avoiding the obvious insult implied upon the character of Benedict XVI, that he was either totally ignorant of what he did, or did not care for the salvation of souls or to do his duty.

Theses which are both incredible and incoherent with the statements of the late pontiff. Clearly then, it is the Archbishop who is trying to manipulate the historical record.

But it will remain a question for history, why the late Pope kept him so close. My only theory is, who is the best to guard a secret, but one who does not believe it ever existed or wants to deny it. For certainly someone allied with the St. Gallen Mafia would not engage him in a conversation to explain it.

Many wrote to the late Holy Father and never got responses, and now I think we all know why.

This morning, the Catholics of Rome admonished the College of Cardinals

Report by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

This morning, at 11:30 A. M., the Catholics of Rome, gathered in front of the Basilica of St. Peter in Chains, near the Colosseum, in downtown Rome, publicly admonished the College of Cardinals for not calling a Conclave. In their monitum, they warned the Cardinals of their grave error in deviating from the Papal Law Universi Dominic Gregis.  The following text was read and handed out to the press corps present. I present that here in this PDF in Italian. An English translation, follows. — I will report the Italian News coverage of this event, later today. — POLISH TRANSLATION below.

Solemn Admonishment
of the College of Cardinals

in regard to their duty to convene in Conclave
to elect the successor to Pope Benedict XVI

Given on January 11, 2023

In front of the Basilica of St. Peter in Chains, Rome, Italy

The Church of Rome is the Church which received the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, the Church presided over by Saint Peter throughout his entire life, the Church which he brought and planted in this ancient terrestrial imperial capital, so that from Her the light and grace of Christ’s Heavenly Kingdom might flow out to all nations for the salvation of the many.

The Church of Rome is the Immaculate Bride of Christ who has washed Her garments through twenty centuries of persecution, trials, tribulations, betrayals, always supported by the Hand of the Divine Providence Who has intervened, intervenes, and will intervene with marvelous signs to assist Her in Her trials, and Who has raised up servants of God who have led her by the hand ever forward toward the end of times, when Christ Her Spouse and Lord shall return to take Her into the Heavenly Wedding Feast and celebrate there the eternal nuptials of the Beatific Vision.

The Church of Rome has known many changes and turns of events: her 170,000 martyrs, virgins, pontiffs, priests, religious and saints chant forever before the Throne of the Divine Majesty enjoying a particular and singular privilege for having served the King of Kings at the footstool of His Throne in life and in glory.

The Church of Rome is the Church of which the Fathers of the First Vatican Council declared infallibly, that She will have perpetual successors in the Apostolic See, as Bishops to shepherd Christ’s Flock which lingers here in this vale of tears.

These Successors of Saint Peter are the institutionalized guarantee of the Promise of Christ Our Lord, that the Gates of Hell shall never prevail over His Church. These are the sure guarantors of the Faith of Christ which the Divine Lips passed down to the Apostles and through them through the Sacred Hierarchy for the salvation of all generations of Christians.

As members of this One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church, we Christian Faithful, to make it known to all our brothers and sisters in Christ, and throughout the world, that we will not stand by an allow the gates of Hell to prevail over this Immaculate Bride which we recognize as our Holy Mother Church, do solemnly now declare to one and all, that

Given, that the Living God Sabaoth, Yahweh Adonai, has declared: Thou art Peter and upon this Rock the Gates of Hell shall not prevail,

And given, that the Same Lord Our God and Redeemer, has magisterially taught of this Peter and his successors in Apostolic Succession: Whatsoever you bind upon earth, shall be bound in heaven. And again, “My Words shall never pass away”.

And given that this same Apostle Saint Peter, the Fisherman, came to Rome, planted the Church of Christ and watered it with his teaching and the blood of his martyrdom, leaving to Her the perpetual and inalienable right to validly elect his successor.

We declare that it is of the divine and catholic Faith that the Church of Rome has a perpetual right to elect her own Bishop, Successor of Saint Peter, Vicar of Christ, and that this right is of Apostolic ordinance and part of the Sacred Tradition of the Church, and can not be abolished by any custom or law, but exists forever as a font of right and law.

Now, having seen with our own eyes, that Pope Benedict XVI never did renounce in life the Petrine Munus which he was elected to receive in April of 2005, in accord with the Papal Law, Universi Dominici Gregis, n. 53, as is juridically proven in the Latin text of the Declaratio he gave on February 11, 2013, when compared to the Latin text of canon 332 §2 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, promulgated by John Paul II, Successor of St. Peter, and as demonstrated also to be his intention, by many authors and studies, We recognize as an objective fact of history, that His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI was the unique, sole, single and only legitimate successor of Saint Peter from the day of his canonical election to the date of his death on Dec. 31, 2022 A. D..

Wherefore, since that moment the Church of Rome has been in sede vacante and the College of Cardinals has been gravely obliged to fulfill the terms of the Papal Law, Universi Dominici Gregis.

However, to our dismay and shock and great displeasure, this College of Cardinals has already begun to deviate from the prescribed Papal Law for the burial of the Roman Pontiff, even though this Law is written in Heaven and is regarded by the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings as binding it all its details whereby the Vicar of Christ, John Paul II, specified this same college as the exclusive electors of the Successors of Saint Peter, under specific conditions, the non observance of which would render any election undertaken null and void, conferring no right upon the one elected, as per n. 76 of the same law.

For this reason, Jorge Mario Bergoglio was never validly elected and obtained no right to be the Bishop of our Church. For this reason, also, the College of Cardinals, if they fail to enter into conclave by the 21st day after the death of the Roman Pontiff, lose all right to validly elect another.

To save Holy Mother Church from the eternal tragedy of no longer having Bishops of Rome, validly elected, there is no other solution based on the principles of right, than that the Faithful of Rome, in absence of action by the College of Cardinals, to have recourse to their Apostolic Right to elect the Faithful.

Thus, we now solemnly declare, that if the College of Cardinals fails to enter into Conclave by the 21st day, that the Faithful of the Church of Rome, that is, of the Diocese of Rome and of the Suburbican Sees, will have the grave duty before God and Saint Peter to come together to elect the legitimate successor of Saint Peter and Pope Benedict XVI.

Hence, we resolve, declare, pronounce, announce and testify, that we shall urge that this be done if such a circumstance does prevail and we call all the Catholic Faithful of the Church of Rome to join us in this holy, religious, upright, just and true Resolution of Faith.

For the honor and glory of the Most Holy Trinity and the exaltation of the Catholic Faith and the preservation of the Apostolic Succession, let us all remain united together in prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to illumine all the Faithful of the Church of Rome, so that we might be guided to do that which is the will of God. Amen. Fiat. Fiat.

How Bergoglio’s permanence means the apostasy of the Flock

15 Comments

From Rome has been ahead of many issues way before the general public confronted them. One of these regards the problem of having a man whom you think is the Pope be a man whom you know is a heretic.

From Rome answered this in an editorial of May 12, 2016, nearly 6 and a half years ago. Back then nearly no one took notice. It was too politically incorrect. But now many, having seen the unending monstrosity of Bergoglio who is willing to publicly slap and excoriate with the most foul language a woman merely for pleading for the help of fellow Catholics who were being persecuted by his Marxist allies in China, and his total lack of insouciance at the publication of a book by Pope Benedict on Celibacy, the barriers of non-think have, are or about to fall in the minds of the general populace.

Some readers have remarked that From Rome does not speak so much about the heresies or errors of Bergoglio anymore, but this is not because he has stopped, or that this publication finds them tolerable, but because the solution to the problem of Bergoglio is simple: Restore Benedict XVI because he was robbed of the Papacy, and we were robbed of his Pontificate! And now, we say, Elect a successor to Pope Benedict XVI, so we may have a true Pastor for the true sheep of Christ!

In this editorial, written when the pretensions to the Papacy of Bergoglio were still commonly held, hope was held out for his repentance. But now after nearly 4 years, that is clearly never going to come about. Those still hoping for it, are deceiving the faithful.

Nevertheless, we share with our readers now in January of 2023, what we published in May of 2016, for your edification and thought, and to share with your fellow Catholics who are still struggling to understand Bergoglio and why the clergy are obsessed with remaining in communion with him.

How Bergoglio’s Permanence means the apostasy of the Flock

Rome, May 12, 2016 A.D:  There is no greater and more radical challenge for the Christian believer than to take another as his Master.

Indeed, Christians are recognized by the fact that they regard Jesus Christ, and Him alone, as their Master, in accord with the scripture verse, in which Christ condemned the religious leaders of ancient Israel, Matthew 23:10 ff:

10 Neither be ye called masters; for one is you master, Christ. 11 He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Indeed, its very tempting, in today’s world in which truth is up for grabs and violent political clashes are being waged on all sides, for the Christian to take an “I’m ok, you’re ok” view, that is, a “get along with everyone” kind of attitude, in which truth does not matter, only co-existence.

The Loadstone of Hope

The only problem is, that there is a vast difference between the man who thinks Christ is a religious teacher and the man who is loyal to Christ no matter what.  First first regards Him as one might regard a philosopher:  taking the man’s teachings here and there, according to his personal tastes and likes, but not as a rule of life.

The second regards Him as the Incarnate Son of God, apart from Whose teaching No man on Earth can escape eternal and perpetual damnation in the fires of Hell.

As St. Augustine said, “If you believe what you like in the Gospel, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself.”

Indeed, what distinguishes the Christian from all other men is Hope.

Hope is that theological virtue least spoke of today, because in modern times a proper understanding and appreciation of it has been so attacked in the minds of men, that nearly nobody appears to have it or cultivate it or use it.

Hope is that theological virtue which puts full faith and confidence in the promises of God for those who keep them.  Its the most essential and key Christian virtue, given to us in Baptism, but cultivated only with good works.  If you do not really hope that God will reward you for fidelity to Christ, then obviously you will not be faithful to Him.  Likewise, if you think that you can manage for yourself the rules by which you will get into Heaven, there is no need for you to have hope in God’s promises, you can presume for yourself — a presumption which is both your ultimate self-deceit and the absolute guarantee of your own damnation.

All of this has an ecclesiological impact, that is, all of this effects the Church, what She is and your place in or outside of Her, who alone is the ark of Salvation, the Pillar of the truth, apart from AND outside of which no man woman or child can be saved.

The Temptation of Bergoglio

The great temptation presented by the election and presence of Bergoglio on the Apostolic Throne, then, is precisely this: the offer of a Church, of a Christianity, in which Christ is no longer The master, but merely a guide post from which one can wander here or there and remain a “christian” without fidelity and without the need to practice hope.

This temptation is offered the Cardinals, the Bishops, the priests, the religious and the laity, is offered thus to the whole Church, because in Bergoglio they have, without any shadow of a doubt, a man who does not believe in Christ as his Sole Master, who does not love or tolerate the Church as Christ founded it or gave it, does not suffer the rules the Apostles, the Faithful Disciples of the Lord handed down to us, and is filled with compassion and love for the traitor who sold Christ for 30 shekels of silver.

To have a public manifest heretic on the throne of the Apostle Peter, and tolerate him, presents for every true Christian, the opportunity of pretense, to keep the name “Christian” or “Catholic” without any more obligation to Christ.  Its the ultimate game-plan of Lucifer.

Either Bergoglio must Change or the Church has changed

Finally, if one were to accept this situation and the principles which erroneously lead to it, as have been briefly described here, it would be enough to end this article with the usual lament.  Because with faith it is possible to lament these things, but with hope it is not possible to tolerate them.  Nearly every author on the Internet today, and as far as we know, all the Cardinals and Bishops of the Catholic Church since April 8, 2016, the date on which “Amoris Laetitia” what released, do not have or are not acting faithfully to Christian Hope.

For the man with Christian hope, would declare and manifestly insist and demand that Bergoglio be canonically reprimanded, and if refusing 3x, be declared to be in open schism with Christ and His Church, and self-deposed by reason of his malice and heresy against Him and His Bride, the Church, whose first duty is to keep herself immaculate and worthy of Him.

Either Bergoglio must change or the Church has in fact changed, because if he repents, the Church is saved in Her fidelity to Christ, and Christ is glorified above all human whim, even the human whims of the Roman Pontiff. But if Bergoglio does not change AND the Church tolerates him, it is the Church which has changed, She has committed adultery with Bergoglio, accepting him rather than Jesus Christ as Her spouse, the God above all other gods…

Benedictine Archbishop Lenga: Every word of Bergoglio is a nail in the coffin of the Church

10 Comments

Editor’s Note: In honor of the late pope, His Holiness Benedict XVI, FromRome.Info, which has called the partisans of Bergoglio, Bergoglian for years, will now call those who recognize that Benedict XVI was pope until death, “Benedictines:. Please note that traditionally, the members of the Order of St. Benedict, who are monks and oblates, are called Benedictines in the proper sense. Lenga is a Benedictine in the first sense, not in the second. He is the only Bishop in the world, who, during the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI was given the personal dignity of Archbishop in reward to his services to the Church. — That speaks volumes about what the late, great Pope thought of him.

VATICAN: During Pope Benedict XVI’s Funeral a Luminous Cross appeared in the Sky

11 Comments

Editor’s Note: I have it from Andrea Cionci, that the photograph of the luminous cross was taken by a professional journalist-photographer who is known to him. The Cross appeared in the sky to the south of the Piazza of St. Peter, over the hill of the Janiculum. It was barely visible to cameras, but quite visible to the human eye. Many thanks to Carlos, for publishing this photo in his article on The Closing of the Age. — While I knew of this event moments after the Mass — I did not see it from where I was standing, because I was looking the other way — I have delayed reporting it until I could verify it was legit and not a photoshop, and until I could find a copy of the photograph which was high quality enough to publish.

On the grave and reckless presumption being perpetrated by the College of Cardinals

31 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

In every controversy there are differing opinions, but one must never lose track of the fact, that in legal controversies, what the consequences would be if the other side is right.

For that reason, I reckon that the College of Cardinals is acting in a wholly reckless manner by not entering into a Conclave. They are risking their entire legacy as an institution on the bet that in renouncing ministerium, Pope Benedict XV renounced the petrine munus.

They are betting against Jesus Christ, the Living God, Who solemnly declared, “Thou art Peter and upon this Rock I will build MY Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against her. I give to Thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heave, WHATSOEVER YOU BIND ON EARTH SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN.” A declaration He made in regard to Canon Law itself.

They are rushing into that juridical no man’s land, where Angels do not even dare tread, by not fulfilling the Papal Law, Universi Dominici Gregis, which requires them to enter into conclave after the death of every pope, who has not renounced the petrine munus.

A no man’s land, because once they violate that law, there is no going back. They can never elect another Roman Pontiff validly again, since the law specifies that they can only do so after the election of one who receives the petrine munus.

Whereas, if they did enter into a conclave in these days, they could always re-elect Bergoglio, so that he have the petrine munus.

Thus, to fail now is truly a diabolic misadventure.

It is a diabolic misadventure, because for those with good will or bad, in the College, it is to risk being part of a Church the head of which is not Peter, has not the benefice of Christ’s prayers. In short, it is de facto the will to belong to the Church of the Anti-Christ, which stands in opposition to Peter and the Church of Christ.

We often hear Catholics lamenting the lack of any signs of supernatural faith in the hierarchy.  This present folly of the College of Cardinals is the very summit and epitome of that spiritual blindness.

Thankfully, this week will see some true Catholic spirituality and charity manifested, with two public remonstrations to be given to the College. These will be historic and, God willing, may wake some of these blind and foolish men from their sleep.
