Editor’s Note: I warned against counterfeiting “Vaccination” status as a way out of the Scamdemic, because of the risk of legal proceedings. But many chose this route, since they could not risk losing their jobs. Now the Biden regime is “quietly” hunting them out and prosecuting them for fraud. Just thing about the inherent logical contradiction between the words, “Biden” and “prosecuting” others for fraud. — This is not how a Catholic should act.

Don’t forget the Christian refugees of the Artsakh Genocide of 2023
Editor’s Note: The very first response to this genocide, internationally, among humanitarian organizations, was that of Ordo Militaris Catholicus, who has a special appeal to assist these refugees. More help is needed, as international response has failed to raise the more than 100 million needed.
Sadly, and very sad indeed, the above article does not solicit help for these Christians who faced slaughter at the hands of the Azeri dicatorship. Nor does it report the names of any agencies helping these victims of ethnic cleansing, even though many writers at that electronic journal are readers of FromRome.info, which covered this story extensively, here.
I my opinion, Catholic publications which talk of the plight of persecuted Christians act unethically if they do NOT inform their readers of a way to help, because, after all, that is what the religion of Jesus Christ is all about.
But you can continue to help through the Armenian Artsakh Refugee Fund, here:
May the 216 Catholic Martyrs of the Easter Attack in Sri Lanka, 2019, pray for us!
Editor’s Note: The attack was perpetrated by radical Islamic terrorists who wanted to cleanse the Island Nation of Sri Lanka of Christians. Two individuals wrapped in bomb belts entered Catholic Churches in the nation’s capitol on Easter Morning of 2019. It is horrors like this that inspired AJ Baalman and myself in 2016 to found a private Catholic initiative to help persecuted Catholics who are threatened by Islamic terrorism.
King Charles III has been struck by his ‘god’ with cancer
Editor’s Note: King Charles III of Great Britain is a firm believer in the DeathVax. But when you believe in a god of death, you reap the whirlwind. Let us pray that he repents before the end.
VATICAN: Pope Francis invites accused pedophile to participate in Council of Cardinals
Editor’s Note: The accused is Cardinal Lacroix. While he has stepped down from his duties as Archbishop in Canada, Pope Francis has not asked him to do the same from the Council of Cardinals, the highest advisory body at the Vatican. Perhaps Pope Francis thinks it looks good to break his own rules about how to handle cases of pedophilia. Perhaps he wants the counsel of a little-girl raper. Perhaps he loves the tension of putting an accused girl-abuser in the same room, where he invites a female Anglican “bishop” and catholic religious woman to speak about woman’s issues? Perhaps this has something to do with the message he wants to send to Italy, just a day after 7 Egyptian youth gang raped a 13 year old Christian girl at Catania? Lacroix’s alleged victim was not much older? What is the twisted mind of Pope Francis thinking? It’s disgusting. And Bishops who would tolerate such a monster on the throne of Peter, when there is ample evidence to remove him from office, are shameless and godless folk.
Meanwhile, the Bishop of Lourdes, France, cannot figure out what he should do about that august Marian sanctuary having been plastered all over by the sicko twisted art of Father Rupnik, S. J., the satanic, twisted serial nun-raper. This goes way beyond being incompetent. He actually wants to milk publicity out of indecision. This is like a priest sticking up his middle middle finger to the entire congregation during Mass. It is the pastoral practice of an antichrist.
Bishops who act like this are undoing the message of the Gospel by making it appear that they preach it, not because they believe it, nor because they think there is a God who will judge them, but simply to fool those who do. They need to be reminded by all of us, as frequently as we meet them, that the roads of Hell are paved with the skulls of Bishops — as Saint Alphonsus dei Liguori reminded us — is the teaching of the Fathers of the Church, due to the frequency of episcopal failures throughout the centuries.
Argentine Bishop Aguer: The pro ‘Fiducia supplicans’ Cardinals think Catholics are fools
Editor’s Note: Since the publication of the horrendous blasphemous and heretical nonsense contained the document on ‘Gay blessings’, known as “Fiducia supplicans” (With trust bending over), we have seen a large number of Bishops world wide issue statements, some in favor and some against. The Catholic Bishops who have spoken out against it have limited their remarks to the document, the occasions of its publication, the Catholic teaching on blessings and the teaching of Scripture, and how the Church nor the pope cannot change these things.
But Bishop Aguer is the first to name Cardinals who support it and in the same breath call them out for their inane argumentation in its support. This may seem, therefore, just another Bishop saying, “No”, because of the multitude who have spoken before him; but it will have a powerful influence in the next Conclave and will condition the rest of the College of Bishops to keep their mouth shut, since the argument of Msgr. Aguer is a solid one: where Bishops know how to increase the flock, there is 100% unanimity that ‘Fiducia supplicans’ is on the wrong side of history, morality and true pastoral care.
HOLY LAND: Jewish Scientists propose blocking Sunlight to cool Earth 2.7 degrees C
Editor’s Note: This is a mad idea by crazy people. Alas the globalists have the wealth and power to put it into effect. However, reducing the global temperature this much could start a permanent ice age. No problem for those in the Holy Land, though, since its climate change would improving the habitability of that land.
CIA agent still attempting to gaslight the world about “Benedict P.P. XVI”
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
I love to document the lies of CIA agents, especially of the habitual liar and disinformer Steve O’Reilly. Here I have caught him once again doing his tricks. See the article above, where he claims that Pope Benedict XVI never used the P. P. in a signature after Feb. 28, 2013.
And that the claim that he did so arises in March 2021, and that Andrea Cionci is its source.
But in his article he is clever. He attacks several leading authors on the question of Benedict XVI’s resignation, but omits any mention of myself or FromRome.Info. — While it is true I never made this claim, if he had mentioned FromRome.Info he would have found this article from Feb. 4, 2020, a full year before. I remember this, because I brought it to the attention of Andrea Cionci, who got many of his facts and clues from my articles at FromRome.Info.
But Mr. O’Reilley was deceptive in another way. Because since he is an avid reader of FromRome.Info he cannot say he was ignorant of an article which the search engine here at FromRome.Info delivers is you search for P. P..
My article only reported the article from Il Foglio, which is still available, which was written by the Editorial Staff at the national newspaper, Il Foglio, and was discussing Antonio Socci’s position in 2014, that Pope Benedict XVI was still the pope.
In fact, the article is dated September 23, 2014!
Moreover, in his final argumentation he does admit there is a photo of a letter signed by Pope Benedict in 2017, linking to the article which contains it here.
Click the image to see the full resolution, where you can discern that the Holy Father did in fact sign, Benedictus PP XVI.
Yet Stevie glosses over that, since he considers his gaslighting sufficient to prevent you from clicking on the link.
Seeing that Socci is a renowned author in Italy and that Il Foglio is a leading newspaper, is Stevie expecting that we believe him rather than the witnesses in Italy, and the photographic evidence, simply because he cannot find or refuses to publish the evidence or passes over it after publishing it?
I for one don’t believe him on anything. And this is just another reason that you should not also.
I have proven that he is not credible in his claim or trustworthy in his research.
Once a liar, always a liar. And once a CIA agent, always a liar.
But his article is disinformation sewn into a package of misinformation. Because Pope Benedict XVI remained the Pope after Feb. 11, 2013 until his death NOT because he still signed P.P. after his name, Benedictus, NOR because he continued to think himself the pope, BUT BECAUSE unless he did what canon 332 section 2 requires for a papal abdication — namely renounce the petrine munus — which can only be done by signifying the totality of papal authority, power and dignity, he remained the Pope, whether you use P. P. or not. Just as Pope Francis by not using P. P. does not unpope himself.
And this should be a lesson to Catholics, that for the CIA whatever we claim, has a different response, which is always negative on their part, even when we are right, because the CIA does not care about the truth, they only care about imprisoning minds in lies. And because you cannot refute the truth directly, you can only gaslight others so that they do not accept it. And the CIA are darn good gaslighters.
Q.E.D.
Finally never forget that the CIA has been at war with the Catholic Church since 1953, see the proof here.
For documentation, you can see the entire scree shot of Mr. O’Reilley’s argument here, just in case he erases it. Click to enlarge it.

Pope Francis claims Rothschild invention is a sin: antisemitism
Critique and Rebuttal by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
As I predicted in October, when Pope Francis allowed the World Jewish Congress to open an office in the Vatican, we are going to see more and more Jewish propaganda main streamed by Pope Francis. And the presence of the WJC office at the Vatican, where there are no Jews, argues strongly that the bribery of Church officials by this organization has now been institutionalized. So we will see much worse than this recent statement.
As most now know, “antisemitism” is a word which describes nothing, since the meaning intended by the word does not concord with the meaning of the word. Antisemitism, if it were a thing would mean being against the Semitic race for ideological reasons. But that race includes all Arabs, Syrians, Lebanese as well as Hebrews. But modern day Jews, who define themselves such because of matrimonial descent only. cannot be classified as Semites for solid reasons of anthropology, even if many of these are genetically indistinguishable from Palestinians. The first use of the word, by a Jew, in fact, only referred to prejudice against all Semites. But the Jewish Encyclopedia in 1881 popularized the more restricted and false meaning, as referring only to Jews, which was seemingly coined by Friedrich Wilhelm Adolph Marr.
But the word is used today by the MSM only as a narrative cover to defend, excuse or distract from the moral faults, crimes, conspiracies of the Rothschilds or any member of that group which today self identifies as Jews. In fact, even the government of the modern Jewish State claims that criticism of their brutalities is “antisemitic”. This trick was popularized by famous Rothschild agents such as Rockefeller.
Moreover, a sin is a moral fault which God has declared offensive or which is contrary to His expressed Goodness, which sin is imputable to a person because he was knowingly responsible. It is not something I or some group of men or women do not like, simply speaking. It is what God detests, simply speaking.
Thus, according to its meaning, then, “antisemitism” is not a sin; rather it is an ideology. But according to its use it is neither a sin, but is rather a term used for narrative warfare to cover for immorality promoting by a group attempting to perpetrate trans-generational fraud and pass themselves off as true claimants of the promises the God of ancient Israel made to Abraham and his descendants through the male line forever.
As Pope Francis also mentions, “Anti-Judaism”, I would also point out that the disinclination of those who are not of a claimed ethnicity against the claims of a group which claims on the basis of their ethnicity to have superior rights and humanity to all other humans is neither a sin, just as to call a racist a racist is not a sin, but honesty.
But the real reason for Pope Francis’s false affirmation is to justify the purge from the Catholic hierarchy and clergy all those who oppose the Rothschild narrative in the modern puppet state they have founded in the Holy Land, especially the continuous apartheid they have been promoting to justify their Godless fraud in claiming the Holy Land for themselves.
As for the reality, putting aside the ideological for a moment, we can see the problem in the Mideast is not antisemitism, but Jewish hatred of Christians and Arabs. I won’t even mention the 40 year blockade which the modern Jewish state has imposed upon Christian pilgrims from Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, who have been unable to visit the holy places in Jerusalem and throughout Palestine. According to the teaching of numerous popes, to block Christian pilgrimage to Jerusalem, has always been considered to give Christians the right to call a Crusade against those who are blocking them, as we have a Divine Right to visit the holy places sanctified by Our Lord and His disciples.
The ultimate irony here, is that Pope Francis, who is notoriously anti-American, has never considered his personal approach to the United States of America and her native citizens as a sin. This is part of his ideological agenda of “sin for thee and not for me”, by which he is involved in chronic attempted psychological abuse of the Catholic world and of the human race.
Br. Bugnolo was right? Emmanuela Orlandi was pregnant when she disappeared?
Br. Bugnolo expressed his views on the series about Emmanuela at OMC Radio TV, where he reasoned thus: if her body has never been found it means that it itself is evidence which no one ever wanted found; now what could that be, since its discovery would put an end to much speculation, unless of course it means she was pregnant at the time of her disappearance? Br. Bugnolo also speculated that the father must have been someone with the authority to obstruct the investigation, and of such a level of importance that until Pope Francis the Vatican would stall the investigation. And he supposed that it might be none other than Archbishop Marcinkus or Pope John Paul II, himself.
A.I. Creating new Religious Art for the One World Religion — Can you spot the difference?
Gladio, Pope Francis & the making of the One Religion of the New World Order
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
The recent trend in opposition to ‘Fiducia supplicans’, which is tending to grow ever more muted and conciliatory, demonstrates how strongly the CIA controls the Catholic Church, both interiorly through the members of the Sacred Hierarchy, from Pope Francis down to your local Bishop, and exteriorly through the way the MSM reports on events in the Catholic Church. There is a third pole of control, also, the fake-opposition, which consists in apparently independent Catholic media and infuencers who tow the CIA narrative, while pretending to oppose the interior system of control.
Let’s unpeal the multilayered onion of these three Globalist control systems to show how much 99.00% of Catholics are totally deceived into walking lock-step into the Satanic New World Order One World Church. It’s happening, and the speed of the march will increase in 2024, so it’s important to recognize the steps, who is in the marching band, and the marching tune they are playing.
First, one has to understand that the problem in the Catholic Church did not begin with Pope Francis, nor with Vatican II, but with the Lateran Pact of 1929, whereby the masonic Kingdom of Italy paid the Apostolic See 1 Billion Lira to settle their dispute with the Papal States for the forced annexation of its territories in 1871. Another nearly equal value was given in state bonds of the Kingdom.
These monies which were enormous at the time (roughly equal to $400 million U. S. Dollars), had to be invested. And so Pius XI entrusted them to a Freemason, Bernadino Nogara, who was a Rotchschild agent. To obtain his financial expertise, he required Pius IX to agree to allow him to invest these monies without regard to Catholic Doctrine. So he began to invest heavily in Rothschild concerns and during World War II even got involved in war profiting on the Nazi side by purchasing investments in companies which would profit from their confiscation of rivals’ concerns.
After the war, armed with information about war profiteering, the Skull and Bones controlled OSS (US Military Intelligence) leveraged this information to convince or constrain Pius XII to take $20 million a year to fund the new Italian political party, the Christian Democrats, which took the name of the previous Catholic party, but now would be run by conservative Freemasons. The Vatican Bank had become, de facto, a money laundering operation for CIA concerns.
Dependent now upon monies from the U. S. Government, the Vatican was ripe for being plucked. After the successes in overthrowing the governments of Nicaragua and Iran, the CIA decided that at the death of Pius XII it was time to move. Threats, bribes and outright coercion during the Conclave forced Cardinal Siri, the Catholic candidate to withdraw, and there was elected Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, who as Apostolic Nuncio to Greece and Turkey, a decade before, was convinced by the Freemasonic Patriarch of Constantinople to join a pact to convene an new Ecumenical Council to conform the Church to the spirit of the age, as the international Conference of Freemasons at Istanbul had requested months earlier.
With a promise of $2 million in funding from the U.S. Government, the newly crowned John XXIII faked an inspiration from the Holy Spirit (his own secretary said as much in his memoirs) at Saint Paul’s Basilica and convoked the Second Vatican Council. The ideological program for this council was already decided upon in the U.S. Department of Defense Program for Ideological Warfare written in 1953, and only declassified 60 years, 6 months (66) afterwards, during the first year of the CIA installed, Pope Francis.
Vatican II became thus the new Gospel, replacing Tradition and Scripture which comes from God through the Apostles. Inside the Church the Vatican began appointing Globalist agents and assets as Bishops round the world and promoting only those who would collaborate to Vatican offices and pontifical institutions world-wide: thus, the formation of priests and the training of theologians and canonists all came to be colored in the monotone of Globalist narratives. The culmination of this infiltration reaches its climax in Pope Francis, the Propaganda Due choice to oust Pope Benedict XVI from power in the uncanonical conclave of 2013. For this reason, the Catholic Church in nearly all its institutions and personnel today is incapable of resisting the march toward the Great Reset or is in fact working to advance it ever more rapidly by using the institutions of the Church in the causes of Globalism: from destruction of national identities, denigration of the human person with technologies and experimental injections, genocide of nations with the DeathVaxx, extermination of traditions and faith through the Aggiornamento and Episcopal suppression of any initiative which bucks these narratives. For this reason the Vatican has ever lauded the MSM, NATO, the UN and the WEF. And this is why opposition to the “Gay Blessings” document, Fiducia supplicans, is generally limited to those dioceses in those nations where influence of USA, NATO, CIA & MI6 are weakest.
At the same time the U. S. Government founded a multi layer control external system for the Church, which was based on NATO and a system of stay-behind-groups (known collectively as “operation Gladio“, the name for the organization in Italy), composed of NAZI and Fascist assets (personnel and monies), which ostensibly prepared Europe to defend against Soviet Invasion, but which really consisted in an ideological and political control system for the West, in which criminal organizations, far-right special operation teams and journalists and publications collaborated to control the narrative on all topics. This is why the MSM misinforms, disinforms and outright lies. They do not do this of their own will, but at the request and directive of the CIA and of all the western intelligence agencies under their control. And even unlikely people are waking up to this truth. — The cupola of power, however, was vested in the World Economic Forum, founded by a Gladio asset, a Hapsburg, and the son of a Nazi industrialist, Klaus Schwab. They are the “brain” of the system of control.
The third system of control, that of the fake opposition (which I call the “Grifter Collective“), has been frequently criticized and exposed here in the pages of FromRome.Info. This consists in Gladio controlled network of publications and influencers recruited by intelligence agencies directly and indirectly, if not working in government offices themselves, which lament the march toward apostasy and globalism but use their influence to stifle any effective opposition and character assassinate any Cardinal, Bishop, Priest, Religious, Layman or publication who calls for uprooting any one of the prior two systems of control. Their mantra is “Recognize and Resist”!, which means “Whine but do nothing!”, and their principal founders and faces, most of whom are “converts” and “reverts” or who descend from Jews, either were hired in Washington D. C. (e. g. Peter Skojec of 1 Peter 5), attended institutions which were founded by the CIA (e.g. Michael Matt, Christendom College), MI5, or are themselves members or had parents who were members of Intelligence Agencies (Archbishop Lefebrve’s father was MI6, Steven O’Reilly is CIA), have close ties to individuals who founded or attended WEF meetings, or were recruited by the Gladio Network in Spain (e. g. Citizen Go & John Henry Westen) which funds dozens of Catholic Newspapers, Websites and TV and Radio Stations (more than 70 through Opus Dei alone). This third network runs and or controls 99% of all Catholic media world wide, and is the secret arm of the Gladio system of control.
FromRome.Info is one of the very very few Catholic news and commentary which exposes and opposes these three networks of control. Along with OMC Radio TV and a few bloggers and writers, these should be your sources of information if you desire truly to serve Jesus Christ and break free from the Globalist narratives and control systems. We are few, but with your support we will hasten the triumph of God against these Antichrist agencies.
We hold that the overthrow of the Great Reset requires the removal of Pope Francis from office, the dismantling of the fake opposition and the rejection of Vatican II on ideological grounds. And we do not just say this, we propose concrete effective and direct means to do this, such as the Sutri Initiative and the Committee against Apostasy.

KOREA: Bishops’ Conference bans Louisa Piccarretta Group
Editor’s Note: Louisa Piccarretta taught that she was the eldest daughter of God the Father, superior to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the one who would open an era of revelation and spirituality in salvation history. She was clearly a heretic and possessed by the devil. The Korean Bishops have done well to ban her writings and any associations which promote them.
InfoVaticana pushes Gladio narrative of “Whine and Do Nothing” (aka ‘Recognize and Resist”)
Editor’s Note: When any site claims that doing nothing is the best solution for the heretical profession of Pope Francis, you can bet your salary that they are part of the Gladio system of U.S. government control, because that position like like “Whine and do nothing” to stop your own wife being raped next door. What kind of men would espouse such cowardly nonsense? — Notice how they totally relevatize truth, too, by saying “More Pascendi and less Fiducia”, that is more doctrinal stricture but don’t dump all of that homo heresy! — InfoVaticana has won a Misfire award.
ITALY: Vittorio Emmanuel, last son of last King of Italy, dead at 86
What does not appear in his official biography, in English, at Wikipedia, is that in 2006 he was accused of being involved in a criminal racket. The accusations were so credible that one member of the family, at least, declared he was no longer a noble.
He also admitted responsibility in the death of Dirk Hammer, who died of a gun shot wound on the prince’s yacht years before, according to his Wikipedia article on the House of Savoy:
When incarcerated in June 2006, Vittorio Emanuele was recorded admitting with regard to the killing of Dirk Hamer that “I was in the wrong, […] but I must say I fooled them [the French judges]”,[23] leading to a call from Hamer’s sister Birgit for Vittorio Emanuele to be retried in Italy for the killing.[24] After a long legal fight, Birgit Hamer obtained the full video.[25] The story was broken in the press by aristocratic journalist Beatrice Borromeo,[26] who also wrote the preface for a book on the murder Delitto senza castigo by Birgit Hamer. Vittorio Emanuele sued the newspaper for defamation, claiming the video had been manipulated. In 2015, a court judgement ruled in favor of the newspaper
Italian Farmers protest the imposition of Taxes upon Agricultural Diesel
And,
And,
and,
and
Editor’s Note: This is just a small drop of the protests by Farmers across Italy today. On Tuesday they hope to convince the Government to withdraw its plan to impose taxes for truck diesel upon agricultural diesel, a thing which would cause commercial agriculture to collapse. The same scheme is being used in France and Germany, where protests have raged about this the entire month of January.
Shock has run though the Italian political class. Giorgia Meloni has withdrawn the proposal to impose higher taxes upon small businesses and farmers, probably because she rules by such a small margin in Parliament, she cannot avoid defections.
Meanwhile, the Meloni government is hastily deploying Police everywhere to prevent the Farmers from entering the highways and shutting down commerce the length of Italy. Protests became violent, as can be seen here:

VATICAN: Cardinal Fernandez issues Doctrinal Note to justify future alteration of the Sacraments
A Critique and Summary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
Beyond the curiosity that the document never cites a footnote from Pope Francis, but only from “Francis”, thus admitting his past statements as Anti pope have no authority, the document is pernicious for its assertion that a “rigid uniformity” of the Sacramental forumlae has never been the tradition of the Church — A BLATANT LIE — but calls for a variety of forms suited to times, places, cultures and situations — THINK Pachamama cults in the Andes and at Santa Marta.
The horrid “Note” issued by Cardinal Fernandez calls the liturgies of the Church mere “ornaments” for the Sacraments, as if a Sacrament could be worthily received outside of a context of faith, prayer, contemplation and renewed allegiance to God through humble praise, thanksgiving, and gratitude. — This basically will allow liturgies to become satanic orgies, because, what, after all, would be more an ornament to Cardinal Fernandez’ and Francis’s kind of clergy than that?
The document is also rife with numerous theological and philosophical errors, such as confounding the priesthood which is conferred in Baptism with the priestly ministry at the altar.
Needless to say, for the readers of FromRome.Info, with the Apostolic See impeded by the heretical profession of Pope Francis, and with this Dicastery not existing by any decree of a Pope holding the petrine munus, the document imposes no obligation on the believer both from a subjective and objective basis and ought to be entirely ignored. — However, like a bill in a legislature, it manifests clearly the political agenda of its authors.
Pope Francis approved this note and ordered it published, so he has to take full responsibility for it. But it is written in such a clever and subtle manner, that it will fly under the radar of all the fake opposition (cf. NCR here), who undoubtedly will praise it for quoting Vatican II and the Council of Trent more than “Francis” (cf. Father Z’s introduction here). — While laying down no ordinance, rule, precept or command, it ostensibly decries unauthorized manipulations of the Sacramental formulae by priests motivated by “ideologies” or wilfulness. And says the Sacraments should always be celebrated according to the liturgical books approved by the Church.
The article at Gloria.TV about this “Note” is incorrect when it claims that the document declares all variations from the approved formulae “render the Sacrament invalid”, however, for to say that “observance has always been required for validity” does not mean ‘non observance of the precise formulae was always held as rendering the Sacrament invalid’. In fact, Saints such as Saint Thomas or Saint Bonaventure taught authoritatively that if the changed formula no longer signified the same thing essentially, it would render the confection of the sacrament invalid, but if it did not change the essential meaning, it would not. — This error at Gloria.TV is due to the fact that the one writing has not the proper formation in Sacramental Theology to comment on this document. Indeed, most Catholic influencers have no knowledge or understanding of what they speak, sometimes even when they have the academic credentials (e. g. as is often the case at “The Pillar” and “Roma locuta est”), and sadly, even Vatican News (here). — For those who are not aware, “require” means to seek out as a necessary. This differs in signification from “be necessary”. As such it refers to discipline, not being. And for this reason, the document is very clever, because by using this distinction (and not that regarding essential signification), it opens the door for declaring all traditional formulae illicit for a valid consecration, because they are NOT contained in the current liturgical books approved by the Vatican! So out with the Missale Romanum of 1570! — Though it does not say that openly, it says that by making no mention of liturgical history at all, while pretending that Vatican II restored the liturgical life of the Church and made the Sacraments shine with a new splendor. — What baloney!
The “Note” looks like a draft found in the dustbin after cleaning out the documents of Pope Benedict XVI’s pontificate, and freshened up with quotes from “Francis” as another Peronist, one step back to appearances of the conservative Aggiornomento, after the two-step forward into apostasy and heresy of ‘Fiducia supplicans”, to make Pope Francis appear not to be monster and false prophet that he appears to prefer to be.
The utter preposterous quality of the document comes from its context: because it is precisely the priests who do not say the “rigid” unchanging Traditional Latin Mass, who are changing the Sacramental formulas according to the ideologies and bad example of “make a mess” Pope Francis.
The English translation of the document is not yet available. The Vatican may publish one next week.
