Editor’s Note: While the producers of this video do not accept the Christian Faith, their arguments are reasonably sound when used against a State which claims moral authority while denying that Christ is King and while establishing a legal system which claims the right to define what is moral and what is not immoral. — The Catholic position on the State is that it can only have authority when it explicitly and actually conforms itself to the Divine or Natural Law; and thus it must enshrine always that Law in its laws and have safeguards to prevent deviations from this ideal. Thus only the Catholic State, today, could have authority over men, because all other forms of the state deny either the existence of God’s authority in His Laws, as revealed, or as taught by Him in nature. But the video speaks well, and adopts the perennial Catholic position, that even in a state without authority, those of its laws which are conformable to the Natural Law should be complied with, not for the sake of the state, but for the righteousness of doing so.

Inauguration of Restored Notre Dame: Trump yes, Pope Francis no
Editor’s Note: What we are seeing here is the perfected theatre of the White and Black Lodges of Freemasonry, with the non-Catholic Trump (Skull and Bones Lodge adept) attending, and the Catholic Pope Francis (Black Lodge, Buenas Aires), refusing. — With Trump declaring the Cathedral is better than it was before [because it has a new dung-colored satanic looking novus Order altar?] Perhaps.
The purpose of this theatre is obvious: it is all part of the CIA/US Department of Defense’s declared 1953 Doctrinal Warfare program against the Catholic Church, to make the American experiment appear to be the true salvation of the world, and to discredit Catholic authorities, which they installed to discredit the Catholic religion and Church.
5 Ways the next Papal Conclave may give us another AntiPope
A SUMMARY OF CANONICAL HORRORS AND MONSTROSITIES
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
With the news of Pope Francis’ health always declining further (see here, here, here, and here), with no less than the popular ex-FOX News host, Judge Napolitano, saying last spring that Pope Francis was moribund, the speculation and anxiety of Catholics the world-over is at an all time high, regarding the next Papal Conclave and its outcome.
The tradition of the Conclave arose in the 13th century, when Cardinals gathering to vote for the Pope, at Viterbo, refused to come to a mutual agreement and spent months on end in negotiations, to the dismay not only of the Catholic world, but of the Mayor of the City, who locked them up and put them on bread and water rations to hasten the outcome. But the rules limited the vote to Cardinals comes from the Papal Law, In Nomine Domini, of Pope Nicholas III, in 1059, when after generations of conflicts among the prominent noble families of central Italy and Rome, he chose to remove the right of election from the general assembly of all the Faithful of the Roman Church, and restrict it only to hand selected clergymen.
The anxiety of Catholics arises from the fact that of the more than 250 Cardinals, only 30 were nominated by Popes John Paul II or Benedict XVI, and of those 30, there is strong evidence to show that 11 of them voted for Jorge Mario Bergoglio in the faux conclave of 2013, when they proceeded to elect a new pope even though the previous had not renounced the petrine munus. For more about that see, the Index to Pope Benedict XVI’s Renunciation and the Chronology of Reports on Team Bergoglio, which latter details the published evidence that a group of Cardinals conspired in violation of the papal law to canvass for votes. These two articles represent the most authoritative and complete collection of links and articles regarding the canonical debates on both topics; and they are read by nearly all the journalists writing on the topic, though they refuse to cite them as sources. So its worth your while to read them yourself, for 99% of the real news about the Catholic Church is never publicly reported.
Adding to this anxiety is that Pope Francis, having impeded the Apostolic See by a heretical profession when he signed ‘Fiducia supplicans’ in December of 2023, he has proceeded to name 21 new Cardinals, the majority of which have publicly professed the same heresy. These 21 Cardinals will be installed on December 8, 2024, at the Vatican in an official ceremony.
So there is frequent consternation and lamentation about the outcome of the next conclave, with many catholic writers throwing up their hands in despair, that the next Pope will even be a Catholic. For if he is not, then he cannot be the pope and will be an antipope.
The next Conclave is overshadowed by the gravest of doubts
While it is true that the laws of the Church allow any male celibate over the age of maturity to be elected the Roman Pontiff, it has been long time since a non-Cardinal was elected to the Apostolic Throne. In fact, it was Pope Urban VI in 1378, who was the last non-Cardinal so elected, and his election was shortly thereafter contested by the Frenchmen who were cardinals, who to the horror of the Catholic world proceeded to elect an antipope to rival him, and installed him at Avignon, thus beginning the Great Schism in the West, which would last until 1415 A. D..
So while it is still possible for the College of Cardinals to elect a non-Cardinal, it is scarcely likely.
Which means there is a 90% chance that the next Pope will be a man made a Cardinal by Pope Francis.
And that is the source of the anxiety. Because faithful Catholics who have been paying attention to the utterances of Jorge Mario Bergoglio are already convinced he is not a Catholic, even if they won’t openly call him a heretic.
And the heretical depravity of Pope Francis is so notorious, that clergy who publicly declare it are immediately punished with the most severe canonical procedures such as reduction to the lay-state or excommunication. There is no room for dissent in the heretical coven of Pope Francis.
Add to this the high level of doubt most Catholics have, that Pope Francis was never canonically elected, or even elected in a juridically valid manner — just to speak of those who still walk in opinions and have not examined the evidence and/or do not possess the intellectual formation necessary to discern any clear answer to such questions.
5 Ways the Next Conclave may give us another antipope
And for that reason, I would like to review in this article, the 5 ways the next Conclave may give us, not a successor of Saint Peter, but a destroyer of souls, a False Prophet, the Antichrist or simply an antipope.
1. What if the Conclave professes heresy before the election?
Conclaves never make public announcements before they elect a pope. Or at least that was the longstanding tradition until the faux conclave of 2013, where they interrupted their proceedings to issue a public condolence for the passing of the Marxist Dictator and murderous Tyrant of Venezuela, for no particular reason at all. Catholics upon hearing of this in March of 2013 shuddered, because the knew that it forebode the election of a corrupt marxist. And they were right.
So if the Conclave publicly endorse the acts of Pope Francis during his antipapacy or his heretical statements such as ‘Fiducia supplicans’ or his teaching in ‘Amoris laetitia’ which contradicted Apostolic Tradition, then Catholics will have the most sold canonical evidence that the Conclave has apostatized from the Catholic Faith and that the man they elect is an antipope and heretic himself, to be owned no obedience, submission or respect by the entire Catholic world — unless of course he immediately repudiates their public statement during the Conclave.
In the case of such a heretical profession by the College of Cardinals, Catholics from Rome, will have to again convene in general Assembly according to Apostolic Right and elect a true Successor of Saint Peter. I have explained this at length in numerous articles regarding the election of January 30, 2023. But in this case, they will have the right to do so, immediately with the heretical profession being publicized; that, is even while the Conclave remains in session and has no yet elected a candidate, since the public declaration by the College is sufficient canonical proof of apostasy, just as the one in 2013 was.
2. What if the Cardinals hold a conclave while Pope Francis is terminally incapacitated?
Next, since it is now a popular and current opinion among the supporters of Pope Francis, that a pope is impeded if he falls into a coma — so much so that they held a conference about the matter a few years ago — and that in such circumstances Vatican officials have the juridical capacity to judge that he has lost his office, it is highly likely that Pope Francis might still be alive when the next Conclave is convened.
In such a case, the election will be invalid, and the one elected another antipope. And the Catholics of Rome will have to await the death of Pope Francis, before they can exert their Apostolic Right to elect a valid successor.
3. What if the Cardinals hold a conclave after Pope Francis invalidly resigns?
Again, since those who support Pope Francis hold the erroneous opinion that a pope can abdicate by resigning the petrine ministerium, only, it could happen that they persuade Pope Francis to renounce like Pope Benedict XVI and thus fail to do so canonically, giving the appearance of a true abdication, but without any canonical validity to the act.
If they proceed into Conclave under such circumstances, the election will be invalid, and the one elected another antipope, just as happened in February-March 2013, with Pope Benedict XVI.
In such a case, again, the Catholics of Rome will have to await the death or valid resignation of Pope Francis, before they can exert their Apostolic Right to elect a valid successor.
4. What if the Cardinals hold a conclave to revolt against Pope Francis?
Again, since the obnoxiousness of Pope Francis is already at apocalyptic levels, it could happen that some, a majority or even all of the Cardinals eligible to vote, renounce Pope Francis and hold a conclave to elect a successor to Pope Benedict XVI or to Pope Francis.
In such a case, since Pope Francis was elected in a juridically valid manner by Apostolic Right on January 20, 2023 A. D., such a Conclave will result in another antipope being elected.
In such a case, again, the Catholics of Rome will have to await the death of Pope Francis, before they can exert their Apostolic Right to elect a valid successor, if no Cardinals convene at that time to elect one.
5. What if the Cardinals hold a conclave and elect someone ineligible to be the Pope?
Finally, to round out the possible nightmarish scenarios, what if the next Conclave, after Pope Francis’ death or valid abdication, would elect an hermaphrodite, or a transgendered or a woman or a trans-human, with AI implants? Or what if they elect an non-Catholic, such as the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, the Russian Orthodox Patriarch, or an Evangelical Preacher, or Bill Gates? or someone already canonically excommunicated? Or someone who is married to a woman or a man, civilly or not, or a siamese twin still connected to his twin brother etc..
In such a case the election would be invalid and the one elected another antipope, of the most monstrous kind. And the Catholics of Rome will have to exert their Apostolic Right to elect a valid successor, immediately upon knowing of the invalidity of the person elected.
+ + +
For more information about how the Faithful of Rome (all the baptized regardless of their station in life) have the right to elect a pope, when the College of Cardinals fails to do their duty, see here.
I have not considered the cases of unworthy men who could be elected, like a flagrant sodomite, pedophile, murderer, government agent, or even manifest but not-yet excommunicated Catholics who are manifest heretics etc.., because there is presently no law in the Church to prevent such men from being elected, strange to say and even more sadly to admit.
I have also not included the case, like that in 1378, in which part of the Cardinals after a valid election, enter into a second Conclave because they refuse the first. In addition, I have not included cases where there is such dissension among the Cardinals, that in the first Conclave they split into two groups and rush to announce the election of two popes nearly simultaneously or simultaneously, thus making it impossible to determine who is the valid pope or not.
Finally, I publish this now, so that, God Forbid!, if any one of these outcomes comes to pass, no one will be able to claim that I have invented rules to suit the circumstances; and so that all who side the the next antipope can be seen for what they really are.
ITALY: Widespread ATM, Bankcard outages disrupt Black Friday sales
Editor’s Note: It appears that the installation of new natural gas line in a small municipality in Switzerland accidentally cut one of the major data-links to Worldline, a Fintech company which handles in Italy and Europe the electronic communications for ATM Machines (called Bancomats in Italy) and most Bank Credit and Debit Cards, such as “American Express, Diners Club, Maestro, Mastercard, PayPal, Nexi, Visa. Nexi Payments” according to the report from La Stampa. Seeing that GooglePay is normally also linked to one or another of these Cards, it was also not working.
Other than La Stampa, most media outlets ignored the news, to prevent a rush of customers back to Cash payments. This disruption has caused numerous European companies to extend Black Friday sales until the problem is resolved, seeing that significant numbers of customers were prevented from taking advantage of the by-now-customary sales on the Friday after Thanksgiving (even though this day is not celebrated in Europe).

Msgr. Bux: Pope Benedict validly resigned, his letter to me proves it!
Y’a think so, Monsignor?
Breaking News & Commentary on the same by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
Recently, Archbishop Viganò brought to the attention of the whole Catholic world, a stunning claim made by Monsignor Nicola Bux, former advisor to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Cause of the Saints, that he possesses a letter from Benedict XVI affirming that the same did in fact intend to renounce the munus and ministerium of the Papacy.
Here is the excerpt of the recent letter of the Archbishop, published in English by Aldo Maria Valli, the renowned Vaticanista, who works with the Archbishop:
“During a meeting at the Renaissance Mediterraneo Hotel in Naples with Catholics from the local Cœtus Fidelium held this past November 22 [2024], Msgr. Nicola Bux mentioned an exchange of letters with “Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI,” dating back to the summer of 2014, which supposedly constitute the definitive denial of the various theories that are out there about the invalidity of Benedict’s Renunciation. The content of these letters – the first, written by Msgr. Bux on July 19, 2014 (three pages), and the second, by Benedict XVI, on August 21, 2014 (two pages) – was not released ten years ago, as would have been more than desirable. Instead, only today has their existence been barely mentioned. It so happens that I am aware of both this exchange of letters as well as their content.
Why did Msgr. Bux decide not to promptly disclose Benedict XVI’s response when Benedict was still alive and able to confirm and corroborate it, and instead to reveal only its existence, without disclosing its content, almost two years after his death? Why would he hide this authoritative and very important declaration from the Church and the world?
Evidently, therefore, the Archbishop possesses a copy of the correspondence. And to the knowledge of FromRome.info, so do many other persons who have worked in the Vatican.
The stunning claim of Msgr. Bux, I cannot find on any website or video platform, so I cannot quote what he is exactly saying or not.
The Letter of Pope Benedict XVI to Msgr. Bux, August 2014: Exceprt
But the Committee to Restore Pope Benedict XVI (@B16Restore), which has Vatican contacts has published an excerpt from the Letter of Pope Benedict XVI to Msgr. Bux, on twitter, which is as follows (I here include the image, not the tweet, lest Twitter erase the tweet):
The Letter of a Roman Pontiff is in the public domain and FromRome.info, being published in the USA, has the legal right to reproduce and translate it. I have chosen to do this as a journalist covering news of great public interest to Catholics in the USA, and for the good of the Church, and on the basis that the Msgr. Bux has already shared this letter freely with numerous persons in the hierarchy, thus forfeiting any right to privacy.
So here is my English translation of this excerpt.
Dear Don Bux,
finally I find a bit of time to reply to your writing of July 19th, left for me on the occasion of your visit to the Monastery “Mater Ecclesiae”. The true answer to the questions, aired by you, is found in the first six lines of number 1 of your text. The rest of the text — as you yourself say — is a “non objective but only our, mental, problem”. I would write, therefore, only a few brief observations.
The “authoritative historians” and the “other theologians” according to me are not true historians nor even theologians. The speculations proposed by them are for me absurd. To say that in my renunciation I had left “only the exercise of the ministry and not also the munus” is contrary to the clear dogmatic-canonical doctrine, cited by you in number 1. If some journalists speak “of a creeping schism” they do not merit any attention.
To point 2, second chapter on page 2 I would say, that the parallelism between a diocesan Bishop and the Bishop of Rome in reference to the question of a renunciation is well founded. I know that Pope John Paul II in …
What is Pope Benedict XVI trying to say?
Until we have the full letter from Msgr. Nicola Bux to Pope Benedict XVI and his full letter in response, one cannot say with certainty what he is referring to.
Is the letter authentic? How is it signed, Pope Emeritus, Pope Benedict XVI, Benedict XVI? These will be clues to whether to pay it attention and how to read it. — Moreover, I join with Archbishop Viganò’s perplexity and consternation that, having received such a letter in 2014 Msgr. Bux did not disclose it to the Catholic world then or thereafter! In addition, since it was Msgr. Bux who quipped in October of 2018, during a public conference, that it would be easier to prove Benedict’s renunciation was invalid than that Pope Francis is a heretic, what in the name of decency is he up to, if he now claims there is certain evidence in this letter of the validity of the renunciation?
But on the basis of what the excerpt of the Letter cited above says, it is clearly an equivocal statement (cf. The Ratzinger Code, by Andrea Cionci, for an encyclopedic review of such statements after Feb. 11, 2013). For to say, that ‘Anyone who claims that in my renunciation I split munus and ministerium is wrong or absurd’, is to say nothing: because it can equally mean that they are wrong to say this, because I did not do that for the reason that (1) I never renounced the font of power for ministerium, in that I never renounced the munus, or (2) I never intended not to renounce the munus when I said I renounced the ministerium.
In the former case, the renunciation of ministry is not an abdication of the papacy, and Pope Benedict XVI remains the pope as of the time of writing this letter. In the second case, the renunciation of the papacy intended to be effected by the renunciation of ministerium is canonically invalid as per canon 188 and juridically invalid by natural right, for reasons of substantial error, as I explained in my Scholastic Question on the Renunciation, published 6 years ago, here and as Ann Barnhardt has explained in numerous videos and blog posts since 2016. So regardless of how you read it, objectively speaking it means that Pope Benedict XVI by this letter has given canonical proof that he is still the pope and never abdicated. If this is true, I will bet that the Letter to Msgr. Bux is signed, “(Pope) Benedict XVI”, which is the real reason he has not published it along with his recent statement.
To write this way seem strange, but remember, that in his advanced age, this letter certainly went though many hands before it arrived at Msgr. Bux’s desk. And Pope Benedict XVI understood that. So he wrote what he could write, in a way an intelligent person could understand it. In other words, it is logically equivalent to saying “The owner of the house is one”, while being held hostage in the basement by the Mafioso who took possession of the house. To read it as the affirmation of the Mafioso being the rightful owner, is possible, just as it is possible to read it as inferring the hostage is the true owner.
Moreover it is more important to remember, that in the last analysis, what a man who was validly elected pope but “renounces” says years after his renunciation, means nothing. Because the act must be juridically valid in itself, not only in the mind of its author before, during or after the act is publicized. For the canonical validity is not judged on the basis of anything secret, such as in the heart or in unpublished letters years later, but on the public contents of the juridical act, expressed in word and/or in written form.
Msgr. Bux needs to publish the whole correspondence, and stop making false canonical claims (something he has been doing since at least 2020): because no matter what he has in these letters, they have no canonical value, since an interpretation not expressed in the words of a papal abdication, even if expressed before or after (outside of any juridical act), cannot be the basis of interpreting an act of papal abdication.
As for Archbishop Viganò, his letter basically says Benedict XVI intended to deconstruct the Church, and thus his abdication is invalid. I have written on the topic of his intentions, frequently, preferring to side with the presumption of innocence and good will, for it is a dangerous thing to condemn another man on the basis of what you or I think was his intention in doing this or that.

Cardinal Mueller condemns Pope Francis’ Agenda of total Apostasy
Editor’s Note: Cardinal Mueller’s critiques of Pope Francis’ destruction of the Church are always well stated and organized and have solid Catholic reasons. However, he never descends from the level of action to the level of action. But discernment is for action; and the more you know the truth, the more you are obliged to act. Thus, the more you realize who is destroying the Church and how, the more you are obliged to get these enemies out of the Church and removed from office.
That italicized sentence explicates the present de facto amorality of Cardinal Mueller. For if we only speak of the problems and never advocate an effective solution, how are we different from someone grifting on malcontent or someone who is a fake-opposition performing a limited hang-out operation to deceive his readers or viewers? Moreover, how can we fault others for not acting, when we ourselves who have much more power and influence and dignity in the Church continually refuse to act?
The answers are obvious. But nevertheless you can quote the Cardinal’s critiques and explain with that one sentence why the Sutri Initiative should be adopted.
Pope Francis’ Left Eye Problem is more serious than it appears
Editor’s Note: The problem must be serious, because none of the MSM outlets are talking about it, and Google is diverting searches to 2017, when Pope Francis fell out of the Popemobile and got a black eye, also on the left, even at the cost of breaking their own search engine: because if you set their search to reports only from the last 24 hours, they give results only from 2017!
This is something I have never seen before. Globalism usually devotes itself to erasing the past. But it appears that they are willing even to erase the present for special friends. — I wonder how much the Vatican has to pay for this kind of misinformation?
And contrary to those who say the words of the Bible are not applicable today; I counter with the perennial Catholic belief, that God’s words in Scripture are the very rules of the cosmos. And the case of Pope Francis’ left eye problem, just after he decreed the heretical reorganization of the Church, is a case in point that God’s curse, published in Zechariah 12:4 remains true even to today; and in this God is teaching us today two truths: that Catholic Church has replaced and superseded the Israel of old, as God’s family, and that the Lord God Himself regards Pope Francis as a war-horse of globalism.
“Never talk about Sutri” Barnhardt, excoriates Cardinals again
Editor’s Note: Ann who began in 2016 by being perfectly logical as regards why Pope Benedict XVI did not resign, has fallen abit since she decided never to talk about the Sutri Initiative. Now, she is excoriating the Cardinals for the upteenth time — the Cardinals who perpetrated the crime of electing the antipope in 2013 — by saying, “to prevent defense, only prevents winning”. — But as a boy, who played wars games, I know that the correct phrase is, “to only defend, is never to win”. And simply calling out a problem is neither defending or winning. Which is it O Ann?! — But she is honest in saying, “Bishops, Priests and Bishops seem to be operating in fear of being deposed”, because since she never advocates writing a valid canonical petition to end the crisis in the Church in a valid canonical way, she can only judge by appearances. How I wish, that from her vast experience in cattle-trading futures, she would figure out that her strategy has not been working since 2016, and that she might try investing in another solution, which she can buy cheap and sell high!
FRANCE: New Altar at Notre Dame looks like Video-Game Satanic Altar of Sacrifice
Here is a close up, from a twitter user:
Thankfully, this new “altar” between the Choir and the people is not the high altar. That was restored:
However, if you think about it, the Cathedral has now been prepared to accommodate two different religions, and one of them is not even Christian. Those who pretend Vatican II would lead us back to Faith must own this.
As for the “IKEA altar”, to make an altar for the Sublime Sacrifice of Christ out of stone which has the color of poop, is the ultimate middle-finger raised up against Almighty God. Notice also, how the steps around the altar are designed to prevent a priest from offering the Holy Sacrifice ad orientem. The monstrosity is without a doubt diabolic and satanic, and reeks hatred.
In related news, the noted fashion designer who was commissioned by the Archbishop of Paris to design the liturgical vestments for the restored Notre Dame chose to celebrate the destruction of the former Cathedral with pop-art style vestments.
Why it is useless to appeal to the Cardinals about the crisis in the Church
Editor’s Note: This 7th episode — which in the video I mistakenly called the 6th — of my documentary, “Pope Benedict XVI’s Renunciation: the Facts, the Laws & the Consequences”, I lay out the facts and reasons why the conspiracy to oust Pope Benedict XVI arose in the College of Cardinals and that some of the most “conservative” Cardinals were key members of it. All of which is the strongest reason why appealing to them to solve the present crisis in the Church is absurd and a red herring let loose to waste your time and make you feel good for wasting your time. For the entire documentary, see here, which I published in April 2020.

Father Amorth: Emmanuela Orlandi was victim of pedophile ring inside the Vatican
Pope Francis has decreed the Heretical Alteration of the Catholic Church
Translation and Rebuttal by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
More than 13 months ago, I warned the Faithful of the entire Catholic Church, that we could not silently sit by an allow the pertinacious, manifest and formal heretic, who is Jorge Mario Bergoglio, to continue to be recognized as the Pope by the Catholic Church without destroying forever the Church which Christ alone founded. I appealed to the Catholic world to join what I call “The Sutri Initiative”, which consists in petitioning the Bishops of the ecclesiastical province of Rome, in accord with canon 212, to recognize that by the perfidious heretical and schismatic words and deeds of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Catholic World could no longer regard his claim to the papacy as self-evident, but rather that they in good conscience must regard the Apostolic See impeded by his personal deviations from the Rule of Faith, and convene a provincial council to remonstrate with him and ask him to prove by documents and words that he has a valid claim to the papacy.
Many laity and clergy who read FromRome.Info responded, and with Pope Francis’ signature on ‘Fiducia supplicans’ even more saw the sanity of such an initiative. However, many Catholic influencers had not the courage or fidelity to Christ or love of His people sufficient to move them to join in this initiative, in the last 13 months.
Now with this new ‘doctrinal note’ by Pope Francis, by which he attempts to subsume the final document of the recent Synod on Synodality into the “Ordinary Magisterium of the Church”, the time has come to chose between Christ and Pope Francis. Since that Synod by the judgement of numerous Cardinals and Bishops seeks to overthrow the divinely constituted constitution of the Church, it cannot be that a Pope declare its final document part of the Ordinary Magisterium, because no pope can overthrow the constitution of the Church.
Indeed, since Pope Francis’s Synods (both those during his antipapacy and those since his legitimate election) all invited heretics to tell the Church how to depart from fidelity to Christ and the Apostles; it is clear that commanding that this process become part of the very constitution of the Church is tantamount to asking the Bride of Christ to fornicate with the enemies of Her Divine Spouse as a way of being faithful to that Divine Spouse.
Moreover, though Pope Francis does not promulgate this note with a Bull, nor use the pontifical “We” — a clear sign that the Lord Jesus is preventing this — nevertheless it is still a heretical schismatic act of apocalyptic proportions, as it attempts to erect an Anti-Church and replace the true Church of Christ.
Resistance, vocal or silent, is not enough any more. It’s a war over the very identity and existence of the Church. And if you cannot see that, you have not the Catholic Faith! It’s that simple.
The petitions to the Bishops of the Roman Province have already borne fruit in this, that none of them has publicly, on their websites, affirmed their adhesion to ‘Fiducia supplicans’. Therefore, I believe that they are giving the Catholic world a sign that if they start receiving thousands and hundreds of thousands of such petitions, they will act. — The ball is now in the court of all those Catholic YouTubers, Website owners, and Bloggers, to do their part in soliciting Catholics to join in this effort. Let it not be said that you hated me, Br. Bugnolo, more than you loved Christ and His Church. Let it not be said, that in spite or jealously, you remained silent in this the darkest moment of the Church, during the most diabolic attack on Christ’s Immaculate Bride, simply because I was first to call for a provincial council and demonstrate how it could be canonically and juridically enacted against a heretical pope. Don’t sit around waiting for the Cardinals to act, since they are the ones who gave this man power.
Here follows my English translation of the ‘Doctrinal note’, the original Italian of which can be found here:
Accompanying Note on the Final Document of the Pope Francis’ 16th General Ordinary Assembly of the Synod of Bishops
Nov. 25, 2024
In the diverse moments of the path of the Synod convened by me in October, 2021, we sat down to listen to what in this time the Holy Spirit is saying to the Churches.
The final Document of the 16th General Ordinay Assembly of the Synod of Bishops gathers together the fruits of the People of God’s path paced-out in listening and of the discernment of their Pastors. Letting herself be illuminated by the Holy Spirit, the entire Church has been called to read their own experience and to identity the steps to be taken to live the communion, to realize the participating and to promote the mission which Jesus Christ entrusted to her. The synodal route, undertaken in the local Churches, has passed through the national and continental phases, to arrive at the celebration of the Assembly of Bishops in its two sessions of October, 2023, and October, 2024. Now the path proceeds in the local Churches and in their meetings, by taking treasure from the Final Document which on October 26, last, was voted on and approved by the Assembly in each of its parts. I, too, approved it, and, by signing it, I arranged its publication, uniting myself to the “we” of the Assembly, which, by means of the Final Document, addresses itself to the holy, faithful People of God.
Recognizing the value of the synodal path already taken, I consign now to the entire Church the directions contained in the Final Document, as a restitution of how much matured in the course of these years by means of listening and discernment, and as an authoritative orientation for her life and mission.
The Final Document shares in the ordinary Magisterium of the Successor of Peter (cf. EC 18, n. 1: CCC 892) and as such I ask that it be heard. It represents a form of the exercise of the authentic teaching of the Bishop of Rome which has traces of novelty but which in effect corresponds to that which I had means to say precisely on October 17, 2015, when I affirmed that synodality is the adequate interpretive step (cornice) to comprehend the hierarchical ministry.
Having approved the Document on October 26th last, I said that it ” is not strictly normative ” and that “its application will have need of diverse syntheses (mediazioni)”.* This does not mean that it does not oblige the Churches from the start to make coherent choices about what has been indicated in it. The local Churches and groupings of Churches are now called to implement (dare attuazione), in diverse contexts, on the authoritative directions contained in the Document, by means of the processes of discernment and decision foreseen by law and by the Document itself. I also added that, “there is a need for time to reach the choices which co-involve the whole Church”: this is true in particular regarding the times entrusted to the ten groups of study, to which we can add others, in view of the necessary decisions. The conclusion of the 16th General Ordinary Assembly of the Synod of Bishops does not put an end to the synodal process.
Returning here with conviction to what I indicated at the end of the expressed synodal path, which brought me to the promulgation of ‘Amoris laetitia’ (March 19, 2016): “not all doctrinal, moral or pastoral discussions ought to be resolved with interventions of the magisterium. Naturally, in the Church there is necessary a unity of doctrine and praxis, but this does not impede that there exist diverse manners of interpreting some aspects of doctrine or some consequences which are derived from them. This will continue to occur until the Holy Spirit makes us arrive at the complete truth (cf. John 16:13), that is, when He will introduce us perfectly into to the mystery of Christ and we will be able to see all with His own vision. Moreover, in every country or region there can be sought more inculturated solutions, attentive to their traditions and to the local challenges” (Amoris Laetitia, n. 3).
The Final Document contains directions which, in the light of its fundamental orientations, can already be received in the local Churches and in the groupings of Churches, taking account of the diverse contexts of that which has already been done and of that which remains to be done to learn and develop always better the style appropriate to the missionary synodal Church.
In many cases this is about implementing effectively what has already been foreseen by present (Canon) Law, both the Latin and the Oriental. In other cases one will be able to proceed, by means of a synodal discernment and withing the frame of the possibilities indicated by the Final Document, to a creative implementation of new forms of ministerality and of missionary action, by experimenting and subjecting experience to verification. In the foreseen report for the ad limina visits, each Bishop will take care to report which choices have been taken in the local Church entrusted to him in regard to what has been indicated in the Final Document, what difficulties have been encountered, and what have been its fruits.
The duty to accompany the “implementation phase” for the synodal path, on the basis of the orientations offered by the Final Document, has been entrusted to the Secretary General of the Synod together with the Dicasteries of the Roman Curia (cf. EC 9-21).
The synodal path of the Catholic Church, animated also by the desire to pursue the path towards the full and visible unity of Christians, “has need that the words shared be accompanied by deeds” (Final Salutation to the 16th General Ordinal Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, Oct. 26, 2024). May the Holy Spirit, the gift of the Risen One, support and orientate the whole Church in this path. May He, who is harmony, continue to reinvigorate the Church with the force of the Gospel, renew her and lead hear to perfect union with her Spouse (cf. Lumen Gentium, n. 4). Because, the Spirit and the spouse both say to the Lord Jesus: Come! (cf. Apocalypse 22:17).

FOOTNOTE & Conclusion
I have translated the Italian mediazioni thus, because the term in Italian is used to signify the Hegelian Dialectical process of forming a synthesis out of a thesis-antithesis conflict. And that seems to be the very reason it is used. The philosophy of Hegel is considered by many authors to be a syncretistic materialism, and is called by many author’s “the Devil’s own logic“. On the spiritual plane, the thesis-antithesis>synthesis logic is nothing short of a philosophical attempt to make adultery and the begetting of bastards the norm of human society, thought and belief. Indeed, early on in his thought Hegel argues that there is no natural law restricting human sexual expression or upholding monogamous marriage. The translation I have chosen, therefore, I believe perfectly fits the thought of the author of ‘Amoris laetitia’ and the signer of “Fiducia supplicans”. Indeed, this “Note” is nothing short of a call to make adultery, sexual perversion and fornication the spiritual, doctrinal, moral, and ecclesiological basis of a new Church: and that Church has a name: the Church of the Antichrist who according to St. Hildegard von Bingen — canonized and made a doctor of the Church by Pope Benedict XVI — will be a man of every form of sexual uncleanliness.
If anyone has doubts that Pope Francis is the very False Prophet foretold by the Apostle Saint John, doubt no more. Without a doubt this man must be removed from office and the Church.
Catholic Media Review: If you say “Christ the King”, you better mean it!
Editor’s Note: There will always be some Catholics who put their hope in masonic political parties, but if you are running a media apostolate, it’s quite unhealthy and inappropriate to turn your media outlet into a political propaganda machine to serve the Lodges. Listen to Br. Bugnolo and AJ talk about recent issues in Catholic Media, as the review the USA-post-election reaction by Catholics to the Trump victory.
