Cardinal Burke: The true purpose of Canon Law is not found in the private opinions of Pope Francis

5 Comments

Editor’s Note: Cardinal Burke makes many very important and well argued points in this essay, which all should read, his main point being the emphasis on the distinction between the man who is the pope, and the man as the pope, a distinction I myself have continually made these last 10+ years.

However, I would point out that the Cardinal’s essay contains several major canonical errors of fact: namely, that Pope Francis did not alter any part of canonical norms, since the alterations Jorge Mario Bergoglio attempted to perpetrate occurred while he still lacked the Petrine Munus. Likewise, that being the case, Pope John Paul II was never canonized by Pope Francis, for the same reason, since the latter only received the Petrine Munus on January 30, 2023, and no one but a Roman Pontiff with the Petrine Munus can raise someone to the dignity of Sainthood.

In the pages of FromRome.Info I have frequently criticized these errors of Cardinal Burke, as well as others (see here); but as the papacy of Pope Francis draws to an end, I consider it important to begin to frame the correct solution to the disaster his antipapacy has brought upon the Church, and this essay, is a partial, if imperfect, step in the right direction.

Canonized during the anti-papacy of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, many Catholics wonder if, besides canonical reasons, they have the right to refuse the public cult of a saint to Pope John Paul II. This show sketches the major reasons found in the historically verified facts of his life. —  The is the “Saint John Paul II” you will never read about in controlled “Catholic” media or diocesan newspapers.

Envy, Back-bitting and Gaslighting: how corrupt clergy defend themselves

17 Comments

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

If you have never read the history of the Church, you may be totally unaware that there have been corrupt clergy and bishops from the beginning. Have you heard of Judas Iscariot? or read St Paul’s Letter to the Galatians?

In the writings of the Saints and Fathers of the Church we usually only hear one side of the internecine war of words launched by faithful clergy and unfaithful clergy, in mutual criticism.

But with Pope Francis we have right out in the open a clear record and example of what corrupt clergy think of honest clergymen.

You can read the comments in the article below:

Of course, he has been speaking this way since March of 2013, so this is nothing new. But this is something new, because now he is saying it as Roman Pontiff.

The Lord Jesus gave Pope Francis an extraordinary grace, the change to do his papacy over right the second time. He has had more than 180 days to shape up. But it is clear from his recent interview, that he has totally rejected the tremendous graces the Lord Jesus has offered him as St. Peter’s successor.

Since I believe totally in the words of Christ and His power, and since I know how the Lord has treated anti-popes turned pope in the past, from my reading of papal history, I presage that this interview is the last straw, and that Christ’s patience is now exhausted, on account of its horrible international scandal given to all His priests and all His faithful world wide.

The restoration of the moral order requires that the fidelity to orthodoxy and its necessary union with a life of holiness be vindicated in the public forum.

And that requires and invokes a Divine Intervention.

I won’t be surprised at the outcome, but faithful Catholics have done their all to give this man a second chance.

Finally, I would point out that Bergoglio’s entire fundamental conception of the relation of morality to progress is more akin to Sabbatean ideals, than Christian ones. Because, while it is true that a man knows himself more to be a sinner and in the need of God’s grace, when he sins and learns humility from his fall, it is only licit to pursue such self-knowledge by the perfect and humble observance of the Divine Law, not by transgressing it. — So, I will throw out this question to my readers, “Was someone in the family or lineage of Jorge Mario Bergoglio a Frankist or Sabbatean Jew?” For those who wish to investigate, you can find the basic genealogical information about Pope Francis, here.

Mapping the Satanic Network in the Hierarchy: Fr. Guilherme, disk-jockey

10 Comments

Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Yes, there were many scandals at WYD 2023, not the least of which was the use of catering food boxes for pre-Consecrated hosts. Pre-consecrated hosts are always not advisable when the clergy involved might have satanic proclivities since there is no way to know for sure if they are consecrated, and whether to God or Satan.

But after that, one of the more visible scandals was the Disk Jockey priest, who led the music during and after the Masses.

https://twitter.com/LepantoInst/status/1688746517014650881

And yes, it is the same priest …

https://twitter.com/NeoReaccionario/status/1688628725321990144

This priest performed at the Castle of Montealegre, where on the 13th of each month, a Satanic party is held. And yes, that is him performing at the high altar for the WYD 2023 Mass pavilion in Lisbon. Though he did not play secular music during the mass, only before and after it. — The only way one could defend this, would be to say that “active participation” as intended by the Second Vatican council means participating in Black Masses. If no one is punished for what just happened, then there is no other conclusion about the corrupt pedophile sect which has been running the Church since then.

Things are bad in the Church, that goes without saying, but the laity cannot simply gawk at this scandal, but start digging. How is it that this priest was chosen to lead the music? Who knows him? Where did they meet? At a bar, a sauna, a Black Mass, a ritual satanic event, of the kind, the name of which for modestly sake, cannot be named?

And, all I can say, is that it does not look like the investigation is going to be able to whitewash this …

Plandemic Watch: 200 Scientists begin work on DeathVaxx for next “Pandemic”

18 Comments

Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

One has to be totally out in loo-loo land to think that scientists not only can predict a future infection by viruses, all of which have never been proved to cause it, but develop a vaccine for it even before it appears. We are in full-blown modern mythology here.

The reality is that this is a narrative balloon, to serve both as a signal and a preparation for the world-wide campaign of terror and mind games to be launched against humanity in the imminent future.

Every Plandemic requires but two things, control via terror and acceptance of a new DeathVaxx, each subsequent version of which will kill off millions more human beings  and make more and more of the survivors perpetual serfs of BigPharma.

Get ready to resist, and start making a list of the things you should never have done during the recent Scamdemic, and resolve never to do them again, as well as a list of the things you should so, and resolve to to them!

For more about the coming Plandemic, see here, here, here, and here. And how to prepare for it, here.

ROME: The Egyptian Obelisk that isn’t at the Vatican

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

imagine that British armies conquered Egypt and cut a stone in the likeness of an Egyptian Obelisk, and moved it to Piccadilly Circus.

And then centuries later, a tour guide published an article claiming it was an Egyptian Obelisk.

As a tourist, you would feel defrauded of your expensive ticket, would you not, when you found it was only a British copy of something ancient?

And yet that is what has just happened, in article by Travel.com featured by Microsoft’s news platform.

Only the “obelisk” is Roman and it’s known to the whole world as the Obelisk in the center of St Peter’s Piazza just outside Vatican territory. (Contrary to popular opinion, the Piazza is part of the territory of the Italian Republic, and only conceded to the Pope, during Papal masses.)

Because that stone was erected by the Romans at the Julian Forum, in Alexandria, in the Roman Province of Egypt, in the years 30-28 B. C., as a mortuary monument to Julius Caesar (it actually had a small metal sphere on its top until the reign of Pope Sixtus V, containing his ashes), and was later transported to Rome under the Emperor Caligula, where it was incorporated as the spina or principal central stone, of the Circus of Caligula — a circus was a horse-racing track. According to the most ancient accounts, St. Peter and his companions were crucified and burnt alive, having been doused with oil, there. — So, the above article is also wrong, in claiming that the obelisk is older than the city of Rome, herself, because the city was founded in 753 B. C., and the stone was in all probability cut sometime around 30 B. C..

Pope Sixtus V moved the stone, which had never fallen down from its original position to its present one: having first had it exorcised, and after its erection, decorated at its peak with a relic of the True Cross, in the year of Our Lord 1586, with an engineering method worked out by the Renaissance Architect, Domenico Fontana. The Franciscan Pope personally oversaw the re-raising of the stone, and forbade any swears to be uttered during its execution.

Thus, by all sane estimation this “obelisk” is not an Egyptian Obelisk, because the Egyptians never made it, nor does it have any Egyptian inscriptions upon it, which, according to Egyptian religious beliefs, would have had to been inscribed upon it, to dedicate it, as is the case with all other stones of the same shape from antiquity which were cut in Egypt. (Egyptians regarded their obelisks as symbols of the rays of light from Ra, their sun god, and thus it was unthinkable for them not to have a religious inscription upon them.)

Nor was the “obelisk” ever used in the worship of any divinity.

(Save this story to rebut the frequent charge by Protestants who know not history, and often cite this stone at St. Peter’s as proof that the Catholic Church is founded upon Idolatry.)

USA: Bishop Barron’s affinity with certain kinds of men raises questions

3 Comments

Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

As part of a series of reports on those invited to the Faux Synod on Synodality in October, I want to briefly comment on the public image displayed by Bishop Barron, who has been invited, see here. Because it is said by many commentators that the purpose of the Synod is to mainstream sodomy in the Church in a variety of ways.

So the above article which is from February is a must, if very distasteful topic, to read. It certainly seems that Bishop Barron, who has become controversial for his departure from Catholic teaching on a variety of points, including Hell, was invited for such a reason.

The article above is about the men which the Catholic Bishop has chosen to surround himself with, paying even one of them $130,000 and allowing him to live at the same address as the Bishop.

And if you are interested in investigating the “gay” network funding the Bishop, see the comments in the comment section of the above article, where names are named.

In addition to the above article, an even cursory investigation on the internet will uncover more untoward facts.

For example, the full tattoo on the back of Bishop Barron’s producer, showing two very sad Archangels piercing an offended Satan, and sadder looking virgins on the shoulders raises still further questions, especially since he has posed with Crucifixes in images which certainly appear to mock the Catholic Faith’s sense of the Sacred.

All the doctors and fathers of the Church, and all sound moral theologians of the Catholic Church, have always agreed that tattoos are a sign of demonic influence, and it is a mortal sin to have one’s flesh tattooed. The only exception allowed, is having a cross tattooed on the body, so that if one is killed when traveling, one can be identified as a Christian and get a proper burial (but this was in the age before IDs and passports).

Lest a man’s reputation be damaged by any possible misrepresentation due to silence, I add this story from last year, which mentions the producer, who has been accused by multiple women of sexual harassment, enabled by using his position with Bishop Barron to facilitate it.

In the most Dire moments of Church History, Catholics won’t lose faith in the Power of Christ

Traduction française

If you simply read the pages of FromRome.info or of any objective news source about the Catholic Church or the Vatican (they are two different things), you will readily agree that the Church has fallen into the deepest pit of immorality and corruption in Her 2000 year history. And that the fall did not begin in 2013, it began a century ago with the Lateran Pact (as was explained recently here).

“These are the times which try men’s souls”, wrote Thomas Paine, in the American Crisis, a series of pamphlets which was first published on Dec. 23, 1776 A., D., in regard to the political confrontation between the British Colonies of North America and the Crown and Parliament of the United Kingdom.

It is a phrase which can be even more aptly applied to the Catholic Church in the summer of 2023 A.D., as we see on all sides greater and greater steps to total apostasy and the grossest immorality by Catholic priests and the members of the Catholic Hierarchy at the highest levels, all the while accompanied by the most pathetic, imbecilic responses of the “conservative” faction in the Church.

But for us who know by Divine Faith, and not just by the force of human yearning, or our upbringing, that Jesus Christ is God and the Only Savior of the World, our great light of hope resides in the Declaration of Christ that the Gates of Hell cannot prevail, precisely because Christ the High Priest Who has obtained everything already from God His Father, in His prayer for Holy Mother Church, is praying unceasingly before the Altar of His Father, in Heaven, for Her.

So even if the situation gets worse and members of the clergy in public begin to engage in the most flagrant immorality as it seems, they are aiming for — the blessing of sodomitic unions for themselves, and the conversion of the Mass into an act of pure idolatry and perversion — the Church will remain Immaculate in Herself and will continue to exist in the Faithful who remain fast with Christ in the unchanging teaching which He handed down to us through the Apostles and faithful Bishops and priests of ages past.

What makes this crisis even more terrible is that Catholics are assaulted on every side by unscrupulous self-proclaimed “Apostles” who have gone from grifting for money to grifting for souls, and who are now on all side promoting false apparitions, false leaders, and false solutions, as they ride the wave of scandalous news, to rip and tear as many of Christ’s sheep away from Him and His Church.

Possessed by this spirit of madness and devilry, they belch out more falsehoods and disinformation in one week than Jorge Mario Bergoglio every did in a month, as they instrumentalize the rage Catholics have against error and vice, against Catholics themselves, in the attempt to slay as many souls with scandal as possible.

And I am not speaking about those who gaslight the Faithful in attempting to insist that nothing is really wrong or the problems are not historic, crucial or existential. This group is the flip side of the same coin of Satan.

We need to pray much and pray more. Christ alone can save the Church and we need to stand with Christ, giving Him the complete trust of our hearts and assent of our intellects, to all His teachings, while remaining in the full consent of love and friendship with Him as Our King. And we need to ask specifically for the grace to persevere to the end, a gift which cannot be merited but only obtained by prayer.

It seems almost certain now that things will get much worse in the coming year, than better, unless God enters into history and delivers the Church from this brood of vipers who pretend to religion.

All of this is already much worse than the past Scamdemic and the future Plandemic, because it touches more intimately upon the salvation of poor souls, who have not the level of virtue and who have not yet merited sufficient light to see the path in such darkness.

Since as a journalist, I have to daily report on the moral collapse of the sacred hierarchy, I have written this short editorial to remind all my readers, that no matter how bad it gets, Christ is God and the Church shall not be overcome.

Let us double, triple and quadruple our prayers that the Lord shall shorten the present days of tribulation, for the sake of the salvation of His little ones, and so that we ourselves be snatched from so many temptations on every side to despair, by sending the Church a generation of warriors to deliver Her from the regime of corrupt men who are raping Her day and night with their scandals and crimes.

B16 Sedevacantists stage publicity with support of Masonic MSM in Italy

Commentary and Summary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

The former Catholics who rode the wave of dissent regarding the non-abdication of Pope Benedict XVI, but who decided to go into schism from the Church of Rome, following the juridically valid election of Pope Francis by the Catholics of the Roman Church, are claiming to be the persons behind the recent stunt, in the skies above of Rome a fortnight ago.

On July 16, 2023, above the beaches of Rome, on the cost of Ostia, a yellow plane carried a long banner saying, “Benedict XVI never abdicated”.

Though the press at the time claimed that Cionci denied having anything to do with it, in the above interview by Radio Radio, the leading Marxist radio channel in Italy, Andrea Cionci, who belongs to a family with strong ties to the Italian Ministry of Defense, admits that the group behind it has informed him, and perpetrated the stunt to support him and the others who deny that there is a valid Pope governing the Roman Church.

This group calls itself Arbitrium, and in their press release read by Cionci in the above interview, the confess their opinion that the Apostolic Throne is in sede vacante. They offer no reason for their opinion, as much as Cionci admits.

However, though the Assembly of Catholics to elect the successor of Pope Benedict XVI according to apostolic right was announced with a press release to more than 100 TV, Radio and Newspapers in the Region of Rome, without any mentioning its advent or outcome, this plane flying over the beach, was covered in the major newspapers of Rome and TV channels, though few could see it clearly or photograph it in broad daylight.

Readers can discern for themselves why the Masonic Main Stream Media is pushing the thesis of Sedevacantism and ignoring that Pope Francis is the Pope. This never happened before his juridically valid election.

Indeed, since that time, he has juridically done nothing to continue his former harm to the Church, and that, in my judgement, is the reason that masonic controlled groups and authors the world-over have begun a more insistent and vicious campaign to misrepresent him and dethrone him, than when he was Anti-Pope.

Arbitrium (Arbitrium.org) is an Italian non profit dedicated to defending the constitutional rights of Italian citizens, which never before this stunt, made any statements in the debate regarding Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation. How funding this airplane stunt will be explained in their annual tax report, remains to be seen, since it has nothing to do with the reason for their legal existence. Their domain name, too, is registered in the U.S.A., not Italy, as most Italian non-profits do.

A lot of food for thought here.
