I want to take this occasion of the first Anniversary of the passing of Pope Benedict XVI to say a word to dispel the very thick propaganda which has been pouring out the Vatican since the reign of Pope John XXIII.

Even an objective observer can see it.

But if you are paid a salary not to see it, you will never admit you see it.

Just look at the facts that every statistician can see, when measuring the Catholic Church by the numbers of priests, religious and laity, etc.. since the year 1950.

All the indicators show a massive collapse after Vatican II. Vocations of all kinds disappeared. Hundreds of thousands of religious and priest left their vocations. Millions of the Faithful stopped practicing the Faith. — Why in the USA alone 50% of those who were baptized Catholic since the Council have left the Church forever.

But at the Vatican they have canonized the Popes who perpetrated the changes which cause this massive pastoral failure. And they seem hell bent on canonizing them all: from John XIII to Pope Francis I, even before he is dead.

And what these statistics cover is millions of souls lost, billions and trillions of mortal sins of sacrilege, impiety, despair.

In sum, the Vatican is in a very dark, dark place of the most arrogant, godless pride and vainglory.  And since no one who is not infected with these vices will ever be promoted by this evil crew of men, without a divine intervention, there is no human hope left for the Church.

Thankfully, Christ our Lord, promised us Divine Interventions.

In the meantime, let’s not regurgitate the lies that John XXIII was inspired by the Holy Spirit — when in fact it was suggested to him by the Freemason Patriarch of Constantinople — or that the “Spirit of Vatican II” is the Holy Ghost — this phrase was coined by Life Magazine at the direction of the CIA — or that there is anything wholesome in the Council’s documents — how could there be, since they were written by men under the direction of the US Department of Defense Program for Ideological Warfare against the Church.

Evil seed, brings forth evil plants, which give forth evil flowers and evil fruits.

The chief of which has been a 70 year campaign of harassment and persecution of good priests and religious by evil, bootlicking godless clergy and religious. Thus, it is no surprise to me that the acceptance of Fiducia supplicans is roughly co-extensive with CIA control of national governments world wide. Where their influence is weaker than the control by other major powers such as Russia or China, we see resistance and rejection.

Likewise, it must be remembered, that Pope Benedict XVI — and this needs to be said — was not the greatest theologian of our age. He was in fact a very confused man who never understood what the Catholic science of theology was about. This is because as a native German, he never understood the Latin tongue well and rejected Scholasticism, which is the very flower and brilliance of all theological discourse. This can be seen in his popular book, “An Introduction to Christianity”, which contains such absurdities as a criticism of the theology of the redemption, wherein he confounds the cause of speaking with the cause for being, and the instrumentality of the shedding of blood with the cause of merit by the Redeemer, and ends up condemning as absurd and offensive a very pious and inspired consideration of Saint Anselm of Bec, accepted by all Saints for nearly 900 years: namely, that for every drop of Christ’s Blood shed there was a measurable merit in the sight of God the Father. A thing which showed how little respect he had for his forefathers in the Faith.

This is why his Declaratio of Feb. 11, 2013 was and will ever remain the cause of endless debates about what Pope Benedict XVI’s intentions were. Because he acted as if he intended one thing, and he signified by what he wrote, something entirely different, theologically and canonically.

And because the Vatican is populated by men addicted to the vice of pride and vainglory, who got their positions by kissing hands and licking boots, Pope Benedict XVI was deprived of the filial and fraternal charity of having someone correct him before he went ahead with it.

But God permitted this Gordian knot as a punishment to this generation. For to a generation which thinks it can manipulate the meaning of words and the perception of reality to suit its own whims and fancies, God Himself arises as Avenger to sow confusion in their camp, so that the savior among men whom they sought becomes their own destroyer.

And Pope Francis is that punishment.

In the meantime, we Catholics are very limited in what we can do to stop this moral collapse in the Church. The confusion about the Renunciation led the Church to break from communion with the True Vicar of Christ for the last 10 year of his life. And this resulted in a horrible spiritual weakness which allowed an anti-pope to push through incredibly heretical documents, with little opposition. Indeed, where is the Bishop in office who dared say Amoris Laetitia, or Laudato si, or the Treaty with China were heretical or schismatic acts?

And this error of the Renunciation would have destroyed the Church forever, if the Catholics of Rome did not act and exercise their Apostolic Right to elect their own Bishop — a right which they legitimately had recourse to when the College of Cardinals failed to do so after the death of Pope Benedict XVI.

And few understand this, because true Catholics in the world are very few. 99% of the information you receive about the Church is from sources which want you to tow the CIA narrative and never question it. But especially never do anything to undermine it. And nearly every talking head and journalist out there is deeply involved in pushing the Big Lie about Vatican II or Pope Benedict XVI’s Renunciation.

Thanks to all the readers of FromRome.Info!

As this year of Our Lord Two-Thousand and Twenty-Three closes, I take this moment, to thank every reader of FromRome.Info who has helped me do my part, as a Franciscan and as a Catholic of Rome, to restore the unity of the Church with Christ’s Vicar and transform an uncanonically elected anti-pope into a juridically validly elected Vicar of Christ.

This is the greatest juridical work the faithful have ever done in the history of the Church, without the assistance of any Bishop or Cardinal.

When Christ called Saint Francis of Assisi to follow Him, He spoke from the Crucifix in San Damiano’s Church (a Saint who was a medic), saying, “Go an repair My Church which you can see is falling to ruin”.

And this is what was done on January 30th, of this year. But like any work of church restoration, bracing the structure to keep it from falling down is only the first step. Next the bad parts need to be ripped out (think, Pope Francis). Quality materials brought in (think a restorer Pope). And then the place needs to be swept out, cleaned and furnished with all new things, which are restorations of her glorious past.

Those who refuse to see this, don’t, in my opinion, have the Church as their Mother.

But for Her faithful sons and daughters, we can rest assured that soon God will send other faithful servants to do the rest of the work of restoration. Let us remember to praise and support them, when they appear.
