PUBLISHED FROM SUTRI ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2023 A.D.
By Br. Alexis Bugnolo
TRADUCTION FRANÇAIS — VERSIONE ITALIANA — TRADUCCIÓN AL ESPAÑOL
Yesterday, I explained from Sutri, Italy, (here) how the First Provincial Council or Synod of Sutri put an end to the horrible chaos of the Roman Church in 1046, when 3 different men claimed the office of the Pope: one a predatory sodomite, another an outright usurper, and still another a flagrant simoniac.
Today, I ask all the faithful in the whole world to please listen to a voice of sanity: to do what the Faithful of the 11th century did and call for a Provincial Council to be held once again, to put an end to the years of scandals, blasphemies, heresies and schism, not to mention persecutions, perpetrated and promoted by Jorge Mario Bergoglio who claims to hold the office of the Roman Pontiff.
The Sutri Initiative is the only juridical and real solution to put an end to the crisis in the Roman Church since it addresses the problem directly and in a canonical valid and facile manner.
But to achieve the convocation of such a Council, we the faithful must make our voices heard, and petition the Bishops of the Roman Province to convoke it.
These Bishops and Auxiliary Bishops belong to the following 20 jurisdictions. By clicking on the links below you can find the addresses of the Bishop or Auxiliary Bishops. I urge you to write them all, individually, a personal letter.
Roma {Rome}: Albano (Suburbicarian See), Anagni-Alatri, Civita Castellana, Civitavecchia-Tarquinia, Frascati (Suburbicarian See), Frosinone-Veroli-Ferentino, Gaeta (Archdiocese), Latina-Terracina-Sezze-Priverno, Montecassino (Territorial Abbey), Ostia (Suburbicarian See), Palestrina (Suburbicarian See), Porto-Santa Rufina (Suburbicarian See), Rieti (-S. Salvatore Maggiore), Sabina-Poggio Mirteto (Suburbicarian See), Subiaco (Territorial Abbey), Tivoli, Velletri-Segni (Suburbicarian See), Viterbo — The Diocese of Sora-Cassino-Aquino-Pontecorvo may also be a member.
Since in 4 cases, one Bishop rules 2 diocese at the same time (As in the cases of Frascati & Velletri, and Porto-Santa Rufino & Civitavecchia-Tarquinia and Tivoli & Palestrina, and Frosinone-Veroli-Ferrentino & Anagni-Alatri), and since one Diocese no longer exists (Ostia) separately from Rome, the actual 15 addresses of the 15 Bishops to be contacted by letter are as follows. Here I write them in the style accepted in Italy.

Proposed Letter
We can do this by writing letters or speaking in person. But in this we can act in two different ways: one by listing all the errors, heresies, blasphemies and persecutions perpetrated by Jorge Mario Bergoglio during the years he has claimed the Papacy; or we can enlighten the Bishops as to the correct canonical way of proceeding, most of whom perhaps have no clear idea.
This second aspect of the problem is the most crucial since it is the one which is less patent.
And thus, in the Sutri Initiative, I urge you that to make your letter effective, you should see to it, that it contain the correct canonical justification and argumentation.
I present a proposed text, which you can address to each bishop and sign with your full name and address. You can write in Italian, French or English, or if you write in another language, please include a translation of your letter in one of these 3 languages.
Proposed text:
Your Excellency,
I am writing to you in accord with my rights in Canon 212, §2, to demand an end be put to the scandals, heresies, blasphemies and doctrinal and moral confusion being promoted by Pope Francis and those appointed by him in the Roman Curia, on the grounds that this is causing the loss of tens of millions of souls who are thus put in the gravest spiritual danger, confusion and disorientation by the constant affirmation of things which are contrary to Divine Revelation, Sacred and Apostolic Tradition, Catholic Doctrine and the defined dogmas of the Councils of Trent and Vatican I.
Thus, in accord with canon 1752, which affirms that the salvation of souls is the greatest good and highest end of all juridical ordinance in the Church of Jesus Christ, I beg you to recognize that by the continuous grave scandals perpetrated by Jorge Mario Bergoglio the Apostolic See has been put into a state of impediment, since millions of Catholics cannot reconcile his pertinacious errors and heresies as compatible with being a member of the Catholic Church, without which quality he cannot be a legitimate holder of the Petrine Munus or claimant to the Apostolic Dignity.
Therefore, since according to Canon 440 ff., the Provincial Council in the Ecclesiastical Province of Rome is empowered to judge and discern all questions which regard the common good of the Church, and since the positive doubt as to the Catholicity of a claimant to the Apostolic See makes it impossible for the Church in good conscience to remain in communication with a doubtful claimant, because a papa dubius papa nullius est, it becomes your grave duty before the Living God and the entire Church, to urge the convening of such a Provincial Council according to the right expressed in canon 440 §1.
Such a Council can be legitimately convoked according to the norm of canon 442 §2, because a positive doubt regarding the claim of a man to the office of the Roman Pontiff creates such a conflict of interests that he cannot legitimately forestall its convocation nor has he a right to so long as he persists in grave moral and doctrinal errors, as this man has done for years in the judgement of millions of souls. The state of impediment exists as a fact on account of his failure to recant his public errors, the list of which grows weekly.
I therefore demand that for the salvation of souls, the removal of all scandal, and to obtain the possible grace of the conversion of the man, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, from his errant ways, that such a Council be convoked according to the norm of canons 443 and 444, and that it exercise its plenary authority in accord with canon 445, by pronouncing whether the man who claims the office of the Papacy rejects the Catholic Faith, has broken from communion with the Church, or is an apostate and idolater. Let the man accused be summoned to explain himself. Let the Council Fathers question him on matters of Catholic Faith and Morals; let his public scandals be listed for him to hear. Let him be recalled to the Catholic Faith, right morals and a sane pastoral care of the faithful. Let it be demanded that he recant his errors and if he does, let him be begged and counseled to withdraw his ruinous decrees. If he refuse rebuke, let him be pronounced as being guilty of one or more of the crimes punished with latae sententiae excommunication in Canon 1364 and let the Council declare that the See of Peter be legitimately vacant.
The Provincial Council of Rome rebuked Pope Marcellinus for his act of public idolatry of the Roman god, Mars and the Provincial Council held at Sutri in 1046 deposed three unworthy claimants to the Apostolic Throne, for their gross immorality and unlawful claim: Benedict IX, Sylvester III and Gregory VI.
It is your duty before the living God to see to the salvation of souls. The Provincial Council in the Ecclesiastical Province of Rome has the authority in law and by precedent to act in this way. More than a billion souls hang in the balance.
Have fear of the Living God for what will be your judgment if you do not heed such a reasonable, juridically valid and honest solution to the greatest crisis in the history of the Papacy. And trust like Saint Paul the Apostle trusted, when he went to Antioch to rebuke St Peter to his face, for not holding to the decrees of the First Council of Jerusalem.
For if you believe the man to be Peter still, you must trust the Holy Spirit will lead him back to a Catholic state of mind; and if you do not believe him to be Peter still, you have the solemn duty to take action to declare the Apostolic See legitimately vacant.
Sincerely,
_______________________________________

Typo – third paragraph, you cannot have intended to write “facile”!
Yes, in the sense of “facile”, “in effortless manner”, “easy” …. which is how we Americans use the word predominantly.
Not the best choice for universal comprehension. Cambridge Dictionary:
“A facile remark or theory is too simple and has not been thought about enough:
a facile explanation
We must avoid facile recriminations about who was to blame.”
Ah, you Brits! With your spanners and coffins and lifts!
Italians won’t misunderstand, however, since facile has the same meaning in both languages.
Second paragraph is missing a period at the end “ to the Apostolic Dignity(.)”
Fourth paragraph “as this man (has) done”
Thank you.
Thanks be to God for this facile solution!
(Should we write our letters in Italian?)
If you are fluent in Italian, yes. I do not even trust my own knowledge of Italian to do this, however.

L’INITIATIVE SUTRI : METTRE FIN AUX HÉRÉSIES, BLASPHÈMES, SCANDALES PERPÉTRÉS PAR LE PAPE FRANÇOIS

Merci beaucoup!
Br. Alexis:
Please explain how such a council of Bishops would have the authority to depose the Pope when Canon 446 says that all their promulgations must be sent to the Pope for approval.
Can. 446 When a particular council has ended, the president is to take care that all the acts of the council are sent to the Apostolic See. Decrees issued by a council are not to be promulgated until the Apostolic See has reviewed them. It is for the council itself to define the manner of promulgation of the decrees and the time when the promulgated decrees begin to oblige.
Because the Council does not meet to prove something. The Council meets to hear if Bergoglio can prove he is a catholic, and if not it declares the fact. So it does not have to have it acts approved, since it exercises only its power of collegial discernment, not a power of jurisdiction.
Again, when the Apostolic See is vacant, the obligation that its decrees be approved does not oblige, since there is no one to approve them. Canon 446 gives the Council authority to decide when and in what manner to promulgate its decisions. And the election of the next Roman Pontiff by the Cardinals in Conclave would be the de facto approval.
How does the Apostolic See become vacant? Who decides if the Pope is Catholic or not?
Have you read the article? Have you understood the article?
I have written to all the emails for the above, excepting Ostia. I couldn’t find a website for them.
Thank you, Paul, for your good example.
Please could you share the list of Bishops and Auxiliary Bishops and email addresses for those that you were able to find, to save others repeating your work?
Sorry for the delay Paul, but if you click on the link on the above diocese there are website links which then give the email links to mainly the secretary or archbishop, and sometimes to the clergy. Needless to say I didn’t get any replies, but it is at least an action I can carry out from my keyboard.
Paul, I believe Ostia is the diocese of Rome. When I clicked on the link from the list Bro. Alexis gave us, it took me to the Vatican website with photos of Mario Bergolio and the Cardinal.
Ostia is now effectively part of the Diocese of Rome, but you can write the Cardinal there anyhow.
Brother Alexis, in an earlier video you briefly gave the definitions of the 5 kinds of heresy. If I recall, they were:
1. written statement
2. assent of the mind
3. consent of the will
4. public act (spoken or written)
5. pertinacious (which is the canonical crime of heresy).
What exactly distinguishes the 2nd and 3rd type, and what kind of test would prove one but not the other?
Thanks.
Assent of the mind is when intellectually you agree the proposition is true.
Consent of the will is when you make decisions to live according to that error and/or promote it.
One evinces assent, by asking the person what is the truth about the matter.
One proves consent, by external acts which promoted the error or incorporated the error.
Brother Alexis, I was going to send letters to these addresses, however, I found it would cost approx. $60. So after watching your video today about the suspension of Bishop Strickland, you mentioned you had provided email addresses. So I went back and clicked on the website links and was able to find emails.
I do not speak Italian so it was difficult to find the correct emails for the bishops offices/secretaries. I hope I got them right. I’ll be sending them out today. Thank you for your faith, perseverance and guidance for your less-informed followers like me. God bless you!
Eva, sorry for not seeing this earlier, but if you see what I wrote in reply to Paul earlier, by clicking on the link to each diocese you can find the Archbishop’s email address, and even the clergy email.
Hi Br Bugnolo
Should we also send the letters to the Bishop’s Emeritus?
Yes you can. But remember, only the ruling Bishop has the right to vote to call the Council. So in a letter to a bishop emeritus or auxiliary, one asks them to intercede with the Bishop of the Diocese to urge such a council.
Thanks. I guess the same can be said of sending a letter to the auxiliary bishop?
Yep.
Where is the advent miracle brought to you by the Holy Spirit and faithful Catholics. .I can’t find it ,all people should know God is listening to us. Stand up and be counted as soldiers of Christ. God loves you open your mouth, the truth will set us free.

I hope it is ok, if I’ll copy this letter? Thank you.
Sorry, I went to those “Suburbicarian See of …”, and found no e-mail addresses. There are mail addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, but no e-mails. I clicked the web addresses but nothing opened, it said “Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found”. Could someone, please, post e-mail addresses, so I could send those letters too?
The web addresses must be copied and pasted into a browser to work.
Ok, so I need a computer, not just phone, or can I copy and paste on a phone too? Sorry, my computer skills aren’t that great. Maybe I should read about it first. Thank you Brother. I will do some homework first.
On most cellphones, you can also copy and paste urls.
Negative, Brother Alexis. Could there be something in my settings I should see? I straight googled it and it says the same “Safari cannot ….” My search engine is DuckDuckGo, but just to check I switched to Google and the same happened. I will go to library tomorrow, and try there. Thank you for your help. I learned “copy and paste” on my phone, which is a good thing.
You Safari browser may have some sort of security setting preventing copy and past of links, turn that off.
Yes, probably that’s it. I will work on it tomorrow. I decided I will print couple of those letters, and send them via regular mail. Just to make sure not all of it is electronic. The rest i will e-mail, after getting those addresses from those websites. Than you Brother Alexis. Good job on this, you probably had to do lots of research.
Decided to send my letters by post with an Our Father offered for each of them upon sealing the letter. May they prove to be fruitful.
Wonderful!
I sent mine by post with a prayer asking Our Lady to intercede for them.
Finally mailed the 15 letters this afternoon – the first weekend day in Lent.
Took quite a while to get my manually typed certificates of posting!
A great way to begin Lent!
I sent letters by email, earlier this year but have not had any replies.
