Editor’s Note: This story which seems never to die is sufficient reason for Catholics to boycott the Jubilee Year at Rome all together. It appears that the best way to save the Church is to help the Vatican go bankrupt as soon as possible. The Jubilee Year of 2025 is the best time to do this. So cancel any travel plans you have made and encourage others to do so in protest.
Editor’s Note: I do not know whether to shake my head in sorrow or pity, but when you read this long post by Harvey Millican attacking two priests in his own diocese, you will probably agree. He faults them for doing nothing about Pope Francis’ heresies; but then recommends they read Dr. Mazza’s writings which also does not recommend doing anything to solve the problem.
We have reached the ultimate levels of virtue signalling: dumping on Catholic Priests for doing the same thing as the one dumping on them: that is, suggesting nothing be done.
This is shameless!
The Sutri Initiative is the only solution. And there seems to be a diabolic conspiracy never to talk about it. Harvey fears this tremendously, since he closed the comments on his post as soon as he posted it on December 11, 2014.
Critique by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
As I have frequently reported here in the pages of FromRome since 2014, there has ben a concerted effort to control the narrative in the Church, with a view to maintaining the Big LIe that Pope Benedict XVI abdicated in 2013. Some of the prime movers of this fake narrative are found among the “fake opposition”, those Catholic journalists an influencers who will complain about everything wrong in the Globalists agenda, ask you for money, and tell you to pray or publish a statement of resistance, but who run to the hills if you suggest a real concrete solution, and even go so far as engage in organized defamation and calumny.
The promoters of this new initiative to make known who is in the College of Cardinals is backed by two of the most notorious dinformation agents out there, Diana Montagna (see more here) and Edward Pentin (see more here). You need only to use FromRome.Info’s search tool to discover how many times they have published lies and half-truths to see it for yourself.
Their new website also pushes one of the biggest misunderstandings of papal elections, since it presumes beforehand that only Cardinals are capable of being elected pope. And by this, any intelligent observer can deduced that those who want the narrative controlled have already decided that they can trust most of the Cardinals to do their will. What they really fear is that someone who is not a Cardinal, not handpicked by themselves and their handlers, be elected: such as Archbishop Vigano, Bishop Strickland, Archbishop Lenga etc. etc..
So if you use the site above, notice how in it you will not discover at all which Cardinal though Benedict XVI should not have resigned in the way he did, or which Cardinals have denounced Pope Francis for heresy.
Also, beware that if you visit the website, the meta data of your visit will most likely end up instantly in the hands of the CIA, MI6 or French Intelligence, even if you use a VPN service. Indeed, since the Globalists desperately need the next Pope to keep their narrative going, gathering as much information possible to determine which of their Cardinals should be so promoted is vital to maintaining that control. And you can do that very easily by gathering information from the Faithful, clandestinely, with such a website, simply by looking at the statistics of who, when, and from where visitors to that website come, and which pages they are reading.
Here is the actual website:
Editor’s Note: On the YouTube Channel, “Reginal della Pace” (Queen of Peace), which appeared for the first time on Dec. 4, 2024, there appears this video of Don Santonocito, a video with 6 versions, the Italian original and 5 others with subtitles in English, Italian, Spanish, German, French and Polish; evidently with the help of many persons. Father is a priest of the Suburbican Diocese of Palestrina, which is presently in a personal union with the Suburbican Diocese of Velletri-Segni.
He appears to be an associate of Andrea Cionci, since he repeats the same argument in the same terms. Indeed, at the end of the video, there appears Cionci’s recent absurd reading of the Latin of the Declaratio, which instills doubt in the validity of Pope Benedict’s election!
This is the first priest of the Church of Rome to make such a public declaration. It is sad to see that Cionci is manipulating this priest to serve his own personal agenda. Moreover, this video testimony, however, appears to have been edited, and not everything which Don Natale has said, is actually in it.
His testimony is discussed by the Marxist RadioRadio station in Italian here:
And in Spanish here by Infovaticana:
Editor’s Note: Here Dr. Mazza argues against Father Brian Harrison, on the question of whether a Catholic can personally hold that a heretical pope is no longer the pope, before any judgement of the Church.
This discussion of Dr. Mazza’s I find disingenuous, because I know he knows of the Sutri Initiative, but he prefers to argue against Father Harrison, as a protestant might argue, since he only appeals to private judgement and crafts a rebuttal to Father Harrison, as if the Church did not possess a competent tribunal to judge whether the man who is the pope have a valid claim to be the pope.
Father Harrison, also — though he correctly asserts that Catholics must regard as valid all the canonical but non-heretical acts of a superior, even if he be a heretic, so long as the competent authority has not declared his heresy — neglects any mention of what is the competent authority to make such a declaration.
I scratch my head in seeing two learned men act like protestants argue in such a manner. Protestants could be alleged to not know what is the competent authority to depose a claimant to the Papacy. But I have to publicly rebuke Dr. Mazza and Fr. Harrison for engaging in such a debate while omitting the truth, as they are intentionally manipulating the Faithful who hear them and are intentionally keeping them in the dark about an historically verified truth of the juridic structure of the Church.
To both, I remind them, that to behave in such a manner will merit your eternal damnation, because it is sin to bear false witness against Holy Mother Church and to intentionally deceive your audience by your silence.
Editor’s Note: The pilgrimage of Sodomites was removed from the official Calendar for the Jubilee, but the spokesman for the Dicastery entrusted with organizing Jubilee events flip flopped. The event was put on the calendar as a courtesy; but the Dicastery does not approve of all pilgrimages, though it will allow all pilgrimages. — The one-step-back two-steps-forward of Bergoglio’s peronist papacy goes on! This report says that Pope Francis and the leading clerics in the Vatican and Italian episcopate still approve of the event, and some of the latter will attend. It appears that they will bless sodomy and sodomites in mass in an attempt to destroy the Catholic meaning of Jubilee of repentance. For them it is a victory march on the Vatican, a hostile ideological act motivated by pure hatred of God and the Catholic faith. — Let us pray that a group of Catholics in Italy files a formal criminal complaint for “mockery of religion” and “desecration of sacred places” against all those involved and approving.
This event is taking place because influential Catholics refuse to endorse a Provincial Council to reprehend and/or depose Pope Francis. Silence bears evil fruit. Catholics like them will be asked for an explanation in the hour of their death and on the Last Day.
Editor’s Note: Here is where the public outrage had its effect, and shows that there are many in the Vatican who will support further corrections of Pope Francis if only they make their voices heard. This story confirms the fact that the Sutri Initiative is a viable possibility if those Catholics who have influence would back it.
It also shows that perhaps at last the Vatican staff, whose pension fund was recently admitted to be at risk, are finally taking action to preserve that by reversing decisions which would make the Jubilee Year a flop. The damage has already been done. And the Dicastery is not helping, since all they will say now is that the Pilgrimage of Sodomites is not officially sponsored; NOT that it has been banned, as it should be.
Editor’s Note: Mrs. Pelosi, who is a Catholic in name only — she is one of the most ardent supporters of cultural marxism — has rebuked Pope Francis for allowing the CCP to appoint bishops in China. This is perhaps the most forceful and bitter rebuke he has received, though he should have received more severe correction in public by the entire hierarchy. When a woman of this moral disrepute can see the glaring betrayal of the Church by Pope Francis, we have arrived at the very height of widespread dissatisfaction with his pontificate. Her public criticism is a true shock to Catholics in America, because never before has she spoken so well in favor of the true liberty of the Church.
Editor’s Note: There are a lot of reports of corruption inside the Vatican and they nearly always name individuals appointed by Pope Francis. That his own Choir Director was pilfering funds, is the cherry on the top of Bergoglio’s corrupt cake.
Editor’s Note: Birds of a feather flock together. — Now you understand better why John Paul II promoted so many members of the St. Gallen Mafia. No wonder Pope Benedict XVI resigned, he was surrounded by perverts and pervert promoters.
In related news, Catholics are beginning realize that the Lavender Mafia does control everything at the Vatican.
Editor’s note: The Italian Sentatorial Investigation into the disappearance of Emmanuela Orlandi in 1983 has arrived at explosive levels, with the testimony of a retired Marshall of the Italian Airforce confirming that when he was in service in the 80’s he heard that the Italian Secret Services (CIA equivalent) was asked by a high ranking Vatican cleric in August of 1983, just weeks after Emmanuela’s disappearance, to contract a private company to take 4 persons, two men and two women, from Ciampino Airport through a private gate. — The testimony seems to support the allegations made in the past, but denied by all who were named in them, that Emmanuela was pregnant and taken to the United Kingdom for an abortion. And that she stayed in a property owned by the Vatican at Wimbledon. — After that she disappears from history. — Speculation is that she was killed during the operation, along with her child, to cover up a pedophile ring at the highest levels of the Vatican. — This adds to the speculation that John Paul II knew of the exact details and intentionally collaborated with the Italian Secret Services, later in that same year of 1983, to divert attention toward agents of international terrorism, even though he knew the perpetrators where working nearby the Apostolic Palace, if not inside it!
The stakes for the Church are high indeed. For if it be proven John Paul II was some how complicit in the disappearance and murder of this young 15 year old girl, before or after her disappearance, then the entire narrative that John Paul II is a Saint, and one of the best fruits of Vatican II, will go up in smoke forever, and it will be seen that Vatican II was nothing but a play-ground of sexual perverts out to destroy the Church from within.
Hearing of the Marshals testimony, the brother of the missing girl has asked Pope Francis for a private meeting. But Pope Francis refused the meeting, saying, “There are too many eyes on me”. — It should be noted that numerous scholars have shown that Pope Francis is personally tied to the same clique which ran the Vatican Bank in 1983, so that if this story blows open, he too will be ultimately discredited. In fact, it was Pope Francis, during his anti-papacy, who “canonized” John Paul II.
Commentary on the News by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
Recently, the noted Italian journalist, Andrea Cionci, at a Conference in Namur, Belgium, on Nov. 23, 2024, stated that he has sources which say that Pope Francis has decided to resign the Papacy in January of 2025.
Luis Badilla reported on Aug. 24, 2021, for example, that Pope Francis has no intention of resigning for reasons of bad health.
On Dec. 13, 2023, when he declared that he has no intention of resigning, as Vatican News reported.
On January 14, 2024, when during an interview he declared he has no intention of resigning, as reported by Crux Magazine.
On March 19, 2024, when it was reported that he had “put rumours of his resignation” to rest, by the BBC.
Perhaps, because in October of 2024, Pope Francis said something different, when Aleteia, which works closely with the CIA disinformation program, reported that in his new Biography — which was intended to be published after his death — it will be revealed in January that he has stated that he is willing to resign if his health problems become intractable.
Is this a case of confounding the date of the books publication with the supposed date of the resignation?
Perhaps.
But it is clear that Pope Francis’ heath is deteriorating more rapidly, and that his recent appointment of Cardinals was intended as a desperate opposition to the kick-back he got on his heretical ‘Fiducia supplicans’, last year at this time. Normally a pope names cardinals only every two years, but in both 2023 and 2024 he has named Cardinals.
And this means that he himself knows his time is short. And so perhaps there is some truth in it that he will resign in January.
One can guess that the Cardinals, looking at the declining balance sheets at the Vatican, would surly counsel him to resign, because if he did so, the Jubilee year would be a success, with all the pilgrims having an additional reason to come to Rome: to see his successor.
However, many who have analyzed Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s psychology have stated that he would never give up being the center of attention.
And indeed, noted reporters have been very wrong on such topics in the past, as when Caterina Maniaci, on the same day as Luis Badilla’s report cited above, said that Pope Francis was about to pass a new law suggesting Popes to retire at 80 or 85 years of age. A thing which never happened.
As I observed years ago, a Papal Abdication by Pope Francis is politically impossible. Because in renouncing he will either posit another fake renunciation, like his predecessor Pope Benedict XVI, to hide the fact that his own election was canonically invalid, or he has to posit a valid renunciation, the text of which will prove Benedict XVI never resigned validly. So he is entangled in the Trap of Pope Benedict XVI — a trap which is objectively there, even if you deny Pope Benedict XVI intentionally placed it to capture his godless rival.
See my recent article on the 5 Ways the next Conclave may be invalid and give us another antipope, for more about the canonical issues involved.
News with Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
with thanks to Fr. Walter Covens for his summary of the events and his
Here at FromRome.Info, I try to cover all the important news about the Debate over whether Pope Benedict XVI abdicated or not and whether Pope Francis is an anti-pope or not and how he could be removed from office in a canonically valid manner.
I do this for the sake of Christ, my King, to protect His Immaculate Bride from the ravaging hands and tongues of His enemies and of not a few of His friends who say things in ignorance regarding these topics.
Since my interest is in the triumph of truth over error, I am pleased when I see those who have publicly disagreed with me accept the truth, even if it takes them two years and in doing so they do not admit I was right all along. It is not that I have a charism of being right, it is that in humility I try not to ever give my own opinion, but simply repeat what experts, scholars, Doctors of the Church, Saints and Canon Law says.
So I am happy to announce that Andrea Cionci has at last accepted that I was right on two important points regarding Papal Elections.
Andrea Cionci has made these affirmations — my English is not an exact translation — in a conference given at Namur, Belgium to the “Piccolo Resto”, which was held in French, but where he intervened in Italian, with a translator translating live.
The first point is the exact rule from the Papal Law, Universi Domini gregis. The second is derived from the Code of Canon Law, which says that in all ecclesiastical elections, the validity of the election is not destroyed by the paucity of electors who present themselves. So in fact, even 1 Cardinal in a Conclave, or 1 layman in an Assembly of Apostolic Right, could validly elect a pope: presuming there was a proper convocation of the Conclave or Assembly. Cf. the Code of Canon Law for these conditions.
Cionci holds, though, there needs to be at least 3 Cardinals, since he misinterprets the requirement of a majority to validly elect. He evidently does not think a sole vote in a conclave of only 1 cardinal is not a majority. An opinion which shows his entire confusion on how to read the Papal Law!
The Papal Law currently in force, however, does not provide any way for electing a Pope if the Cardinals in charge of convoking a conclave fail to do so, or if none appear before the 21st day. For Cionci, this means there is no other way. But as I have said last week, only someone entirely ignorant in jurisprudence holds that a law remains in force if its fundamental condition is obstructed.
Andrea Cionci still believes, however, that only Cardinals in a Conclave can elect a pope in a valid manner, because being an opera singer and an instructor in singing, and only a journalist on the side, he has absolutely no training in Canon Law. He cannot even read Latin. I know these things because he told me himself.
He is now, however, claiming that though Pope Francis is an antipope, Cardinals can convene after his death and validly elect a true pope. While it is true that after Pope Francis’ death Cardinals can validly elect his successor, a true pope, certain conditions could invalidate that; however, Cionci is QUITE WRONG in claiming that Cardinals after the death of an ANTI-POPE can enter into conclave, since that is expressly forbidden by the Papal Law, which only allows Conclaves after the death of TRUE POPES. — I use capitals here, to shout, since having said this before, he still seems to be deaf to the truth and refuses to read what is written in the Papal Law, Universi Dominici Gregis.
I will add that during his conference he claimed that Father Ferdinando Cornet agrees with him in his position.
He is also claiming that “according to his sources”, Pope Francis will resign in January.
Let’s see if Andrea Cionci’s sources are valid or not, by waiting to see what happens.
I do not think he believes his own reasons are strong enough to convince the Cardinals, though, since he also said, during the response to Questions, that if no valid Cardinal elects a true pope before August 18, 2036, when the third-youngest will become 80 years of age and lose his right to vote, then the Church will never have a pope again. — This expressly contradicts the First Vatican Council which teaches that is the Will of God that Saint Peter have perpetual successors in the See of Rome.
So I am glad he expressed his own opinion ad absurdum, since this will help true Catholics realize that his position on the obligatory nature of always following the Papal Law is not sustainable, reasonable, or a Catholic approach, since it ends in the self-destruction of the Church by the pharasaical observance of a merely positive law.
Evidently Father Cornet also does not believe, however, that he and Cionci have good enough reasons to convince the Cardinals to act, because during the conference he asks the faithful to ask priests to pray for the graces the Cardinals need.
One slight error made by Cionci during his talk is to say that there are 30 Cardinals who can vote in a Conclave who were appointed by Popes John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI and that all of these need to be petitioned. But he fails to realize that at least 11 of them are members of the St. Gallen Mafia. So by petitioning them all, he is giving certain knowledge of his operation to the enemy.
For an throughly Catholic solution to how Pope Benedict XVI could and did have a juridically valid successor see the article, The Triump of the Lamb, here at FromRome.Info.
The conference was held apparently held on November 23, 2024, at Namur, Belgium, and 110 were expected to attend. About half of those attending came from France, some by car from Languedoc. This was the very day after I had publicly rebuked Cionci in the strongest manner for his previous positions.
The French Translator stated that the French Edition of Andrea Cionci’s Book, The Ratzinger Code, has been read by more than 1 million in the French speaking world. But she fails to mention that Father Walter Covens is its translator. — The translation was done while Pope Benedict XVI was still in life.
The conference was transmitted on the YouTube Channel: Hildegarde de Bingen, 5 days ago. See below. The owner of this channel is the woman doing the translations in the videos. So please let her know that she should mention the name of the translator, since he merits that much.
Father Cornet, for his part, made a grave error, in restricting the obligation of Catholics to the “laws” of the Church. He evidently has never studied jurisprudence, because the correct maxim, is that Catholics are obliged to do what is right and just, which is expressed in Divine Revelation and Apostolic Tradition, and from time to times is applied in canons and laws for particular circumstances of history. Thus he appears to be saying we should follow Canon Law or Papal Laws even if they went contrary to Apostolic or Divine Law. That would be the very heresy of Pharasaism, which Our Lord condemned in the Gospels many times.
He also said that unless a priest say he does not intent to confect a Sacrament, that the Sacrament is considered valid. The correct Catholic doctrine in such cases, is that the Sacrament IS valid, not merely considered valid, so long as a validly ordained priest using valid matter and saying the correct words, has not explicated such an intention. This difference seems small, but “to consider a thing valid” and for a thing “to be valid” are two different orders of being, the former is a mental judgement, the latter is a reality existing in this world. To attempt to quell the doubts of souls as regards the validity of a Sacrament, one has to speak of reality, not mental judgements of reality. This is the entire basis for the finding of Benedict XVI’s renunciation as non-existent in reality, even though many in their minds think or consider or judge it happened.
He said many other things, but this one strikes me as most worthy of note: that Cardinal Achille Liénart (who consecrated Archbishop Lefebrve a Bishop) before his own death confessed to being a 33rd Degree Freemason; and that he, Father Cornet, knows this personally, because he knew the Cardinal in life. Since the Cardinal died in 1973, however, I wonder how a Argentine in his sixties, like Father Cornet, barely at the age of maturity, would know personally a Cardinal in France? Perhaps I misunderstand how he phrased this. However, the report that the Cardinal confessed to being a Freemason before death has already been published more than 15 years ago, here.
Editor’s Note: The Catholic Religion is the true Faith, revealed by the one and only true Living God, Who gives a just recompense to every man, for the good or evil he does, rewards for doing good, and punishments for doing evil, in this life and in the next. Recently we saw Pope Francis attempt the heretical reformation of the Catholic Church by declaring the nonsensical and heretical Synodal Document “ordinary magisterium”. After which, he was struck with some malady in his left eye.
On Friday, he fell and hit his bedside table and suffered a major bruise to his face on the left side of his chin. This was the day before he had the diabolical temerity to raise to the dignity of the Cardinalate numerous men who agree with him in his heretical ‘Fiducia supplicans”, where he called on clergy to employ the Holy Name of God to approve of the worst sexual perversions on the planet.
God will not be mocked. And if you mock Him, He has Angels who are experts in dishing out punishments and punches. — And though there is no historical evidence that Saint Nicholas of Myra punched Arius, the heretic, in the face, it is notable that Pope Francis had his fall on the Feast of good old Saint Nick!
From a medical point of view, Pope Francis’ increasing frequency of medical issues is a sign that the bells will soon toll for him. It is a darn shame that he has squandered so many of the graces of God which could have made him honest, holy and zealous in true service to Him.
UPDATE: During the solemn veneration of the Statue of the Immaculate in the Piazza di Spagna, today, at Rome, Pope Francis was seen hobbled, using a 5 footed cane. So it appears his knee is inflammed and that might have been the cause of his fall. — In this video, Pope Francis can be seen to be gasping for air, fraught with tremors and has an exceptionally swollen face. It is a wonder that his doctors are not attempting to correct his bloated tissue problem. — Alas when it comes time to pray to the Holy Virgin, Pope Francis launches into a Protestant type of homily where in the midst of praying to Our Lady he speaks about economic and political problems and reminds everyone that a Jubilee Year is about to begin!
