  • The following thread is solely for the purpose of collecting all of Archbishop Vigano's public letters, interviews, and writings in a single repository, for study purposes.

    Once the compilation is complete, I will publish them for study in book form.

    Please no commentary.

    But do feel free to publish any Vigano works you can find on the internet.

    This activity qualifies for inclusion under at least two of the spiritual works of mercy. Thank you for this good deed.

  • APPEAL FOR THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD
    to Catholics and all people of good will

    Veritas liberabit vos.
    Jn 8:32

    In this time of great crisis, we Pastors of the Catholic Church, by virtue of our mandate, consider it our sacred duty to make an Appeal to our Brothers in the Episcopate, to the Clergy, to Religious, to the holy People of God and to all men and women of good will. This Appeal has also been undersigned by intellectuals, doctors, lawyers, journalists and professionals who agree with its content, and may be undersigned by those who wish to make it their own.

    The facts have shown that, under the pretext of the Covid-19 epidemic, the inalienable rights of citizens have in many cases been violated and their fundamental freedoms, including the exercise of freedom of worship, expression and movement, have been disproportionately and unjustifiably restricted. Public health must not, and cannot, become an alibi for infringing on the rights of millions of people around the world, let alone for depriving the civil authority of its duty to act wisely for the common good. This is particularly true as growing doubts emerge from several quarters about the actual contagiousness, danger and resistance of the virus. Many authoritative voices in the world of science and medicine confirm that the media’s alarmism about Covid-19 appears to be absolutely unjustified.

    We have reason to believe, on the basis of official data on the incidence of the epidemic as related to the number of deaths, that there are powers interested in creating panic among the world’s population with the sole aim of permanently imposing unacceptable forms of restriction on freedoms, of controlling people and of tracking their movements. The imposition of these illiberal measures is a disturbing prelude to the realization of a world government beyond all control.

    We also believe that in some situations the containment measures that were adopted, including the closure of shops and businesses, have precipitated a crisis that has brought down entire sectors of the economy. This encourages interference by foreign powers and has serious social and political repercussions. Those with governmental responsibility must stop these forms of social engineering, by taking measures to protect their citizens whom they represent, and in whose interests they have a serious obligation to act. Likewise, let them help the family, the cell of society, by not unreasonably penalizing the weak and elderly, forcing them into a painful separation from their loved ones. The criminalization of personal and social relationships must likewise be judged as an unacceptable part of the plan of those who advocate isolating individuals in order to better manipulate and control them.

    We ask the scientific community to be vigilant, so that cures for Covid-19 are offered in honesty for the common good. Every effort must be made to ensure that shady business interests do not influence the choices made by government leaders and international bodies. It is unreasonable to penalize those remedies that have proved to be effective, and are often inexpensive, just because one wishes to give priority to treatments or vaccines that are not as good, but which guarantee pharmaceutical companies far greater profits, and exacerbate public health expenditures. Let us also remember, as Pastors, that for Catholics it is morally unacceptable to develop or use vaccines derived from material from aborted fetuses.

    We also ask government leaders to ensure that forms of control over people, whether through tracking systems or any other form of location-finding, are rigorously avoided. The fight against Covid-19, however serious, must not be the pretext for supporting the hidden intentions of supranational bodies that have very strong commercial and political interests in this plan. In particular, citizens must be given the opportunity to refuse these restrictions on personal freedom, without any penalty whatsoever being imposed on those who do not wish to use vaccines, contact tracking or any other similar tool. Let us also consider the blatant contradiction of those who pursue policies of drastic population control and at the same time present themselves as the savior of humanity, without any political or social legitimacy. Finally, the political responsibility of those who represent the people can in no way be left to “experts” who can indeed claim a kind of immunity from prosecution, which is disturbing to say the least.

    We strongly urge those in the media to commit themselves to providing accurate information and not penalizing dissent by resorting to forms of censorship, as is happening widely on social media, in the press and on television. Providing accurate information requires that room be given to voices that are not aligned with a single way of thinking. This allows citizens to consciously assess the facts, without being heavily influenced by partisan interventions. A democratic and honest debate is the best antidote to the risk of imposing subtle forms of dictatorship, presumably worse than those our society has seen rise and fall in the recent past.

    Finally, as Pastors responsible for the flock of Christ, let us remember that the Church firmly asserts her autonomy to govern, worship, and teach. This autonomy and freedom are an innate right that Our Lord Jesus Christ has given her for the pursuit of her proper ends. For this reason, as Pastors we firmly assert the right to decide autonomously on the celebration of Mass and the Sacraments, just as we claim absolute autonomy in matters falling within our immediate jurisdiction, such as liturgical norms and ways of administering Communion and the Sacraments. The State has no right to interfere, for any reason whatsoever, in the sovereignty of the Church. Ecclesiastical authorities have never refused to collaborate with the State, but such collaboration does not authorize civil authorities to impose any sort of ban or restriction on public worship or the exercise of priestly ministry. The rights of God and of the faithful are the supreme law of the Church, which she neither intends to, nor can, abdicate. We ask that restrictions on the celebration of public ceremonies be removed.

    We should like to invite all people of good will not to shirk their duty to cooperate for the common good, each according to his or her own state and possibilities and in a spirit of fraternal charity. The Church desires such cooperation, but this cannot disregard either a respect for natural law or a guarantee of individual freedoms. The civil duties to which citizens are bound imply the State’s recognition of their rights.

    We are all called to assess the current situation in a way consistent with the teaching of the Gospel. This means taking a stand: either with Christ or against Christ. Let us not be intimidated or frightened by those who would have us believe that we are a minority: Good is much more widespread and powerful than the world would have us believe. We are fighting against an invisible enemy that seeks to divide citizens, to separate children from their parents, grandchildren from their grandparents, the faithful from their pastors, students from teachers, and customers from vendors. Let us not allow centuries of Christian civilization to be erased under the pretext of a virus, and an odious technological tyranny to be established, in which nameless and faceless people can decide the fate of the world by confining us to a virtual reality. If this is the plan to which the powers of this earth intend to make us yield, know that Jesus Christ, King and Lord of History, has promised that “the gates of Hell shall not prevail” (Mt 16:18).

    Let us entrust government leaders and all those who rule over the fate of nations to Almighty God, that He may enlighten and guide them in this time of great crisis. May they remember that, just as the Lord will judge us Pastors for the flock which he has entrusted to us, so will He also judge government leaders for the peoples whom they have the duty to defend and govern.

    With faith, let us beseech the Lord to protect the Church and the world. May the Blessed Virgin, Help of Christians, crush the head of the ancient Serpent and defeat the plans of the children of darkness.

    MESSAGE OF ARCHBISHOP CARLO MARIA VIGANÒ TO AMERICAN CATHOLICS AND TO ALL AMERICANS OF GOOD WILL
    Written by  + Carlo Maria Viganò, Archbishop





    Dear Brothers and Sisters,

    As devout Christians and faithful citizens of the United States of America, you have intense and heartfelt concern for the fate of your beloved country while the final results of the Presidential election are still uncertain.
    News of electoral fraud is multiplying, despite the shameful attempts of the mainstream media to censor the truth of the facts in order to give their candidate the advantage. There are states in which the number of votes is greater than the number of voters; others in which the mail-in vote seems to be exclusively in favor of Joe Biden; others in which the counting of ballots has been suspended for no reason or where sensational tampering has been discovered: always and only against President Donald J. Trump, always and only in favor of Biden.




    In truth, for months now we have been witnessing a continuous trickle of staggered news, of manipulated or censored information, of crimes that have been silenced or covered up in the face of striking evidence and irrefutable testimony. We have seen the deep state organize itself, well in advance, to carry out the most colossal electoral fraud in history, in order to ensure the defeat of the man who has strenuously opposed the establishment of the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr that is wanted by the children of darkness. In this battle, you have not failed, as is your sacred duty, to make your own contribution by taking the side of the Good. Others, enslaved by vices or blinded by infernal hatred against Our Lord, have taken the side of Evil.

    Do not think that the children of darkness act with honesty, and do not be scandalized if they operate with deception. Do you perhaps believe that Satan’s followers are honest, sincere, and loyal? The Lord has warned us against the Devil: “He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies” (Jn 8:44).




    In these hours, while the gates of Hell seem to prevail, allow me to address myself to you with an appeal, which I trust that you will respond to promptly and with generosity. I ask you to make an act of trust in God, an act of humility and filial devotion to The Lord of Armies. I ask that all of you pray the Holy Rosary, if possible in your families or with your dear ones, your friends, your brothers and sisters, your colleagues, your fellow soldiers. Pray with the abandonment of children who know how to have recourse to their Most Holy Mother to ask her to intercede before the throne of the Divine Majesty. Pray with a sincere soul, with a pure heart, in the certainty of being heard and answered. Ask her – she who is the Help of Christians, Auxilium Christianorum – to defeat the forces of the Enemy; ask her – she who is terrible as an army set in battle array (Song 6:10) – to grant the victory to the forces of Good and to inflict a humiliating defeat on the forces of Evil.

    Have your children pray, using the holy words that you have taught them: those confident prayers will rise to God and will not remain unheard. Have the elderly and sick pray, so that they may offer their sufferings in union with the sufferings that Our Lord suffered on the Cross when he shed His Precious Blood for Our Redemption. Have young ladies and women pray, so that they turn to her who is the model of purity and motherhood. And you, men, must also pray: your courage, your honor and your boldness will be refreshed and strengthened. All of you, take up this spiritual weapon, before which Satan and his minions retreat furiously,


    because they fear the Most Holy Virgin, she who is Almighty by Grace, even more than Almighty God.
    Do not allow yourselves to be discouraged by the deceptions of the Enemy, even more so in this terrible hour in which the impudence of lying and fraud dares to challenge Heaven. Our adversaries’ hours are numbered if you will pray, if we will all pray with Faith and with the true ardor of Charity. May the Lord grant that one single devout and faithful voice rise from your homes, your churches, and your streets! This voice will not remain unheard, because it will be the voice of a people that cries out, in the moment when the storm rages most fiercely, “Save us, Lord, we are perishing!” (Mt 8:25).

    The days that await us are a precious occasion for all of you, and for those who unite themselves spiritually to you from every part of the world. You have the honor and privilege of being able to participate in the victory of this spiritual battle, to wield the powerful weapon of the Holy Rosary as our fathers did at Lepanto to repel the enemy armies.


    Pray with the certainty of Our Lord’s promise: “Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you” (Lk 11:9). The King of Kings, from whom you ask the salvation of your Nation, will reward your Faith. Your testimony, remember this, will touch the heart of Our Lord, multiplying the heavenly Graces which are, more than ever, indispensable in order to achieve victory.
    May my appeal, which I address to you and to all people who recognize the Lordship of God, find you to be generous apostles and courageous witnesses of the spiritual rebirth of your beloved country, and with it the entire world. Non praevalebunt.


    God bless and protect the United States of America!
    One Nation under God

    Archbishop Vigano's Prayer for a Resurgence of Christianity in America and the re-election of Donald Trump

    Almighty and Eternal God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords: graciously turn your gaze to us who invoke You with confidence.

    Bless us, citizens of the United States of America; grant peace and prosperity to our Nation; illuminate those who govern us so that they may commit themselves to the common good, in respect for Your holy Law.

    Protect those who, defending the inviolable principles of the Natural Law and Your Commandments, must face the repeated assaults of the Enemy of the human race.

    Keep in the hearts of Your children courage for the truth, love for virtue and perseverance in the midst of trials.

    Make our families grow in the example that Our Lord has given us, together with His Most Holy Mother and Saint Joseph in the home of Nazareth; give to our fathers and mothers the gift of Strength, to educate wisely the children with which you have blessed them.

    Give courage to those who, in spiritual combat, fight the good fight as soldiers of Christ against the furious forces of the children of darkness.

    Keep each one of us, O Lord, in your Most Sacred Heart, and above all him whom Your Providence has placed at the head of our Nation.

    Bless the President of the United States of America, so that aware of his responsibility and his duties, he may be a knight of justice, a defender of the oppressed, a firm bulwark against Your enemies, and a proud supporter of the children of light.

    Place the United States of America and the whole world under the mantle of the Queen of Victories, our Unconquered Leader in battle, the Immaculate Conception. It is thanks to her, and through your Mercy, that the hymn of praise rises to you, O Lord, from the children whom you have redeemed in the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

    MILLION MAGA MARCH

    Dear brothers and sisters,

    Allow me to address this message to you, spiritually united with all of you in the legitimate request
    for truth and transparency, in the face of the election fraud that is coming to light.

    Some would have us believe that the people have spoken out in favor of one candidate, and they
    were foolish enough to tell us this while the vote-counting was still in progress. They were so sure
    of victory that they did not accept any dissenting voices, and even went so far as to censor the very
    words of the current President of the United States.

    It is true: the people have spoken, but not in favor of those who promote the killing of innocent
    lives in the womb; not in favor of those who impose deadly ideologies on our children; not in favor
    of those who obey an international elite who wish to establish a nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr. The people
    have spoken out in favor of traditional values, in defense of life, in defense of the family, and in
    defense of national sovereignty. Values that have made America great and which form the basis
    of your country’s freedom and peace, harmony and prosperity.

    When the people do not obey media indoctrination, democracy no longer matters to the so-called
    Democrats: they have to resort to fraud, deception, and the manipulation of votes and consensus.
    But something has gone wrong: “The snare has been broken, and we have escaped” (Ps 123:7).

    As Christians and honest citizens of this great and beloved Nation — which is proud to proclaim
    to be under God — we have a duty to trust that justice and truth will triumph, also on this occasion.
    And they will triumph not only through the honesty and fairness of so many people, but also and
    above all through our prayer. As lawyers and magistrates investigate the abuses and crimes
    committed, let us turn to the Lord, the Supreme Judge, through the intercession of Mary Most
    Holy, our powerful Advocate. This is the “Supreme Court” to which we can and must appeal, that
    the Will of God may be fulfilled, and Truth may triumph over falsehood.

    PRAYER

    O Lord Almighty God, Most Holy and Undivided Trinity, who in Thy love hast deigned to redeem
    sinful man through the Incarnation and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ: prostrate before Thee
    we invoke Thy powerful protection in this hour of great turmoil, when darkness seems to be
    spreading over our beloved Nation.

    O Lord God of Hosts, drive back into hell the Enemy of mankind, who by Thy eternal decree is
    crushed by the foot of Our Mother and Queen, Mary Most Holy. Make vain the assaults of those
    who, blinded by vice and hatred of Thee, wish to subject our Nation and the whole world to the
    tyranny of sin and rebellion against Thy Most Holy Law. Grant wisdom and courage to those who
    are called to direct the fortunes of the United States of America, and to those who serve their
    country with fidelity and honor.

    Lord, bless our President, our public officials, and our pastors. For those who exercise the power
    entrusted to them from above, obtain the graces necessary to carry out their duties with integrity
    and justice.

    O Almighty God, who many times hast manifested the power of Thy right hand at the side of
    Christian armies, place Thyself at the head of this army of Thy children. Let the prayer we address
    to Thee through the intercession of Our Mediatrix, the Virgin Mary, rise up to Thee like incense,
    so that, resolved to observe Thy Commandments and to repent of our sins, we may attain the
    freedom and peace that Thou hast promised us: “Peace I leave you; My peace I give to you. Not
    as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid” (Jn
    14:27).

    Grant, O Lord God, peace to our people. Look not upon our unworthiness, but upon the merits of
    the Immaculate Virgin, the Queen and Patroness of the United States of America. May she present
    to the Throne of Thy Majesty our humble prayers, our holy intentions and our penances.
    And just as in the time of the Maccabees, Thou raised up holy heroes and courageous witnesses of
    the Faith, so also today hear the prayer we raise to Thee, and scatter the proud in the conceit of
    their hearts, granting victory to those who serve under Thy holy banner. Amen.

    GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

    GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT

  • Abp. Viganò on truth over fear: COVID-19, the vaccine, and the Great Reset


    Thu Mar 25, 2021 - 8:59 am EST

    This crisis serves to create the conditions necessary to make the Great Reset inevitable, that is, the transition from the world based on Greco-Roman civilization and Christianity to a world without a soul, without roots, without ideals. In practice, it is the passage from the Kingdom of Christ to the Kingdom of the Antichrist

    By Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò

    This Letter reflects in large measure the intervention I will be giving to attendees of the upcoming summit “Truth Over Fear: Covid-19, the Vaccine, and the Great Reset,” on April 30-May 1, 2021, organized by Patrick Coffin. This vital event features over 20 of the world's top doctors, researchers, and attorneys, and will deliver a scientific and common sense approach to the pseudo-pandemic. All people have a right to informed consent. 
    March 25, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — What we have learned so far about the pseudo-pandemic gives us the picture of a disturbing reality and of an even more disturbing criminal conspiracy hatched by misguided minds. This reality, however, is not taken into consideration by those who, hypnotized by media indoctrination, persist in considering a serious seasonal influenza as a pandemic scourge, known treatments as ineffective, and the so-called vaccines that are admittedly useless and harmful as nothing short of miraculous.

    The reputation of pharmaceutical companies
    We know that the pharmaceutical giants – AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson – not only have not followed the ordinary protocols for drug testing, but they have a track record of a long history of condemnations for having previously caused grave damage to the population, distributing vaccines that have been revealed to cause disabling diseases.
    Conflicts of interest
    We know what macroscopic conflicts of interest exist between the pharmaceutical companies and the bodies responsible for their control: in many cases, employees of these companies have passed through the entities which must approve and authorize the use of drugs, and it is difficult to imagine that they – who often continue to have professional ties to Big Pharma – would have the freedom to make a fair and prudent assessment. Indeed, we have just seen recently with the case of AstraZeneca in Europe that the obvious harmfulness of the so-called vaccine – which has led some Nations to suspend its distribution – is not considered a sufficient reason by the EMA (European Medicines Agency) to prohibit its adoption. The recent findings about serious side effects have been designed to exclude the majority of cases and above all to deliberately ignore the causal relationship between inoculation with the vaccine and its short- or long-term side effects.
    Immunity for side effects
    We know that, in defiance of any legal principle and the protection of the population, the pharmaceutical companies have demanded total immunity for damages that may arise to patients, who are asked to sign a release form along with their informed consent. Thus, along with the scandalous profits from the sale of the vaccines, the pharmaceutical multinationals guarantee their own impunity for a criminal operation, conducted with the complicity of international institutions and governments.
    Secrecy about the contractual clauses
    We know that the contractual terms of the agreements made by nations and by the European Union with these pharmaceutical companies are inaccessible and secret: not even the parliamentarians and political representatives are allowed to see the clauses that they had to approve inside a sealed box. And we know that the same pharmaceutical companies not only are not taking any responsibility for the side effects, but they also declare that they do not even guarantee their effectiveness to provide immunity from the virus.
    The Chinese origin of the virus
    We know that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was in all probability produced in a laboratory, with the complicity of the Chinese dictatorship. Since China is one of the main financiers of the WHO after the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, it has been able to prevent any investigation on the origin of the virus or the early stages of its spread.
    Complicity of health personnel
    We know that every nation, with very few exceptions, immediately adopted the most absurd health protocols coming from the WHO, beginning with the unfortunate decision not to treat the sick at the onset of the first symptoms, and to subject them to deep ventilation once the flu syndrome degenerated into acute bilateral pneumonia. And this happened with the execrable complicity of health-care personnel – from doctors to hospital staff – provoking thousands of deaths not from COVID, as we are told by the mainstream media, but from incorrect treatment.
    Delegitimization and boycott of available treatments
    We also know about the furious campaign against the effectiveness of already-existing treatments, from the use of hyperimmune plasma to the use of drugs that many doctors, despite violating the health norms that have been imposed during these months, have deemed it their duty to administer to their patients, with success. And it is not difficult to understand that the low cost of treatments, the fact that many of them are not subject to patents, and above all their immediate effectiveness in treatment represent for pharmaceutical companies and their accomplices a more than sufficient reason to oppose and discredit them, even to the point of banning their use.
    A project planned for years
    We know that in order to conduct this criminal operation – since we must speak of a crime against God and against humanity, not of a merely unfortunate fate – it was necessary to have years of planning, conducted systematically, in order to weaken national pandemic plans, drastically reduce the number of beds in hospitals and intensive care units, create a mass of blind, deaf, and dumb employees, no longer doctors, who placed their own safety in the workplace ahead of their duty to cure the sick. The Hippocratic oath was violated in the name of profit for the pharmaceutical companies and the pursuit of a social engineering project.
    Involvement of the health system
    We know that in order to obtain the complicity of doctors and scientists, not only has recourse been made to the system of corruption and conflicts of interests that has existed for decades, but also to the distribution of prizes and cash bonuses. To give an example, in Italy a specialist doctor receives 60 euro per hour to administer vaccines in the vaccine centers; general practitioners are given incentives for every patient they have vaccinated; a bed in intensive care is paid about 3000 euros per day by the national health service. It is evident that neither general practitioners, nor hospital personnel, nor regional health agencies have any interest in depriving themselves of huge revenues, after public health has been demolished for the last decade in the name of cuts to waste imposed by the European Union. To give an idea, Italy has received 72 invitations from Brussels to close all the small hospitals that today, under the pretext of the pandemic, have been reopened and financed with funds that the EU allocates on loan with constraints and conditionalities that in other moments would have been judged unacceptable. Yet these hospitals worked well, making it possible to offer widespread service to citizens, and they were able to avoid the spread of disease.
    The fundamental role of the media
    We know that nations have granted funding to the media, as a contribution to information on COVID. In Italy the Giuseppe Conte Government allocated large amounts so that the national information system would give one aligned version of the pandemic, and it censored any voice of dissent. The dissemination of data on the infections and deaths has been grossly manipulated, suggesting that every person with a positive test result should be considered sick, even though the asymptomatic are not contagious – by the very admission of the WHO and the analogous bodies in the United States, Canada, Australia, etc. And alongside these government fundings, in many cases the conflict of interest with the pharmaceutical companies has also been able to interfere with the choices of broadcasters and newspapers, on the one hand because BigPharma represents one of the principal buyers of advertising space, and on the other hand because it is present on the board of directors of information companies. It is difficult to believe that the editor of a newspaper, even if persuaded that the pandemic is a fraud, would dare to go against the CEO or deprive the newspaper of the advertising profits from Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson.
    Social media responsibility
    We know that in addition to the complicity of the media, the infernal machine of social media, from Facebook to Twitter, from Google to YouTube, has mobilized a brazen and scandalous censorship operation, to the point of erasing the profiles of eminent scientists and established journalists, for the sole reason that they did not obey the diktats of the COVID narrative. Even in this case, it is not surprising to discover the economic and kinship relations existing between these colossal multinationals, which over time have become the owners of information and the arbiters of who has the right to free speech and who does not.
    Cui prodest? – Who benefits?
    We also know who the primary beneficiaries of the pandemic are, in economic terms: the usurers of the banks, who have the power to keep ideologically aligned companies afloat, and at the same time to make small businesses fail if they are an annoying obstacle to the establishment of the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr. These small companies, spread above all across the Old Continent and especially in Italy, constitute the social fabric and economic identity of many nations. Their widespread diffusion disturbs the multinationals of large distribution, from Amazon to JustEat, which during the period of lockdown have increased their profits in a scandalous way, to the detriment of normal commercial activities, because that book that we used to buy at the corner bookstore must now be ordered online, along with lunch, printer toner, and dishwasher detergent. This “new economy” imposed itself with arrogance in just a few weeks last year, thanks to the simultaneous closing of stores and the stay-at-home orders that were imposed on citizens.
    Education
    We know that the need to indoctrinate the young generations could not exclude scholastic and university instruction from this plan, which today is given via “distance learning” with very grave psychological consequences for children and young people. This operation today lays the foundations for ensuring that one day the teaching offered via the internet can be unified, deciding which teachers are allowed to give lessons and what they should say, and I will not be surprised if soon this aligned form of education soon includes an increasingly small number of teachers: one single history professor for all students of a nation, with a program that is narrowly defined and controlled. This is not a far-off reality, when every student is obliged to connect online and can no longer use a teacher at his own school, who has been forced into retirement or removed from teaching because he does not comply with the orders of power. Nor can we be surprised if the new teachers are holograms that elaborate algorithms, or disturbing artificial intelligences that indoctrinate millions of young people into gender theory, LGBT doctrine, and all of the moral aberrations that we have anticipated in recent years.
    The promoters of the pandemic
    We know who are the theorists of the pandemic as the instrumentum regni, from
    Bill Gates to George Soros, in a network of complicity of interests so vast and organized that any measure of opposition is practically impossible. Along with them, we find the most disturbing repertoire of so-called philanthropic organizations and lobbies of power, like the World Economic Forum with Klaus Schwab, the WHO and all of its national branches, the Trilateral Commission, the Bildeberg group, the Council for Inclusive Capitalism headed by Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild under the spiritual direction of Bergoglio and, more generally, the phalanx of multinationals, banks, and groups of power that belong to this dome of conspirators. Do not be surprised if, in perfect coherence with their plans, the sects and world Satanist movements also mobilize, beginning with the Church of Satan that exalts abortion as a propitiatory ritual for the end of the pandemic, exactly as BigPharma requires pseudo-vaccines produced with aborted fetuses.

    Subjugation of the Catholic Hierarchy
    Finally, we know – and this is certainly the most shocking aspect – that part of the Catholic hierarchy is also present in this plan, which in Jorge Mario Bergoglio finds an obedient preacher of the pandemic narrative and the primary sponsor of the vaccines, who has not hesitated to define them as “a moral duty,” despite the very serious ethical and religious concerns which they raise. Bergoglio even went to the point of having himself interviewed by the Vaticanist Domenico Agasso, in a conversation contained in a book called Dio e il mondo che verrà, to recommend to the masses the administration of the gene serum and to furnish an authoritative and unfortunate endorsement of the ideology of globalism. And since March 2020, the Holy See has shown itself to be perfectly aligned with the globalist plan by ordering the closure of churches and the suspension of the celebration and administration of the Sacraments. If this had not really happened, and instead a strong condemnation of this antihuman and antichristic project had occurred, the highest levels of the Church would have had a difficult time accepting subjecting the multitudes to absurd limitations on their natural freedoms, in the name of not only an ideological enslavement but obviously also economic and social.
    Let’s not forget that, as a counterpart to the loss of the faithful in the churches and the resulting drastic reduction in the offerings for the bishops’ conferences, there must necessarily be an alternative form of financing that it will not take us long to discover. I think that neither communist China, nor de Rothschild, nor Bill and Melinda Gates (who, as I learned from an authoritative source, have opened an account at IOR, the Vatican Bank), nor the network of self-styled democratic parties – the international Left – obedient to globalist ideology, are foreign to this operation. On the other hand, the Great Reset envisages the establishment of a Universal Religion that is ecuмenical, ecological and Malthusian, which sees in Bergoglio its natural leader, as was recently recognized by Masonry. The adoration of the pachamama in the Vatican, the Abu Dhabi agreement, the Encyclical Fratelli tuttiand the upcoming sabbath of Astana all point in this direction, completing the inexorable dissolutive process of the Church that began with the Second Vatican Council.

    If something does not work, it can be used for something else
    It must be recognized that the apparent illogicality of what we see happening – the boycotting of preventative treatments, erroneous therapies, ineffective vaccines, lockdowns with no usefulness, the use of masks that are absolutely useless – makes perfect sense as soon as we understand that the declared purpose – defeating the alleged pandemic – is a lie, and that the real purpose is the planning of an economic, social, and religious crisis using an artfully provoked pseudo-pandemic as a tool. Only in this way can we understand that the simultaneity and univocity of the provisions adopted by various nations, the aligned narration of the media, and the behavior of political leaders. There is a single script under a single direction, which makes use of the collaboration and complicity of politicians and rulers, doctors and scientists, bishops and priests, journalists and intellectuals, actors and influencers, multinationals and bankers, public employees and speculators. Profits and gains are instrumental to this, because they purchase and assure the loyalty of subordinates, but this war – may we never forget this! – is an ideological and religious war.
    Two opposite worlds
    This crisis serves to create the conditions necessary to make the Great Reset inevitable, that is, the transition from the world based on Greco-Roman civilization and Christianity to a world without a soul, without roots, without ideals. In practice, it is the passage from the Kingdom of Christ to the Kingdom of the Antichrist, from a virtuous society that punishes evildoers to the impious and wicked society that punishes the good. That detestable idea of “equality” that was earlier instilled in us by freethinkers has now been used to equate good and evil, right and wrong, beautiful and ugly, under the pretext of recognizing freedom of expression; today it serves to promote evil, injustice, and what is wrong, and even make them obligatory, in order to delegitimize and prohibit goodness, justice, and beauty. Consistent with this vision, ecuмenism too – which was initially introduced into the sacred enclosure by the Council under the pretext of bringing back heretics and schismatics – today shows its antichristic charge, incorporating all the false religions into a pantheon but proscribing the Apostolic Roman Catholic Religion, because it is the only true one and as such is irreconcilable with doctrinal error and moral deviation. We therefore ought to understand that, if we do not passively witness the changes underway and we do not allow the globalist ideology to be imposed on us in all of its most abject forms, we will soon be considered criminals, hostes publici because we are faithful to a jealous God who does not tolerate mixing with idols and prostitution. The deception of liberty, equality, and fraternity propagated by Masonry consists precisely in usurping the primacy of God to give it to Satan, with the apparent pretext – which is in any case erroneous and immoral – of placing God and Satan on the same level in such a way as to allow an alleged freedom of choice that morally does not exist. But the final purpose, the true and un-confessable one, is fundamentally theological, because the author of the rebellion is always the same, the eternally Defeated One.
    Nemo propheta in patria
    Of course, what we see happening today before our eyes could have been understood and predicted for years, if we had only paid attention to what the theorizers of the Great Reset declared with impunity. In reality those who denounced this plan, which is currently underway, were called conspiracy theorists, ridiculed, or passed off as crazy, ostracized by mainstream information and criminalized, driven out of university professorships and the scientific community. Today we understand how far-sighted were the alarms that were raised, and how powerful is the organizational mechanism that has been put in place by our adversaries. In the name of freedom, we have become accustomed to seeing ourselves deprived of the right to speak and to think, and the effort to pathologize dissent in order to legitimize detention camps and to constrain movement based on the health passport is already taking place.
    Cognitive dissonance
    Faced with reality, however, it is difficult to understand the reason for which the entire world population has allowed itself to be convinced of the existence of a pandemic virus that has yet to be isolated and that it has supinely accepted limitations to personal freedom that at other times would have led to revolution and barricades in the streets. Even more incomprehensible is not so much the absence of a true and proper social and political reaction, but the inability to see reality in all of its crude evidence. But this is due, as we know, to the scientific action of manipulation of the masses that inevitably led to the phenomenon that social psychology calls “cognitive dissonance,” that is, the tension or discomfort we feel in the face of two opposing and incompatible ideas. The psychologist and sociologist Leon Festinger has demonstrated that this discomfort leads us to elaborate these convictions in three ways, in order to reduce the psychological incongruence that dissonance determines: changing one’s attitude, changing the context, or changing one’s behavior. Ordinary people, unable to comprehend or even recognize any rationality in what the media obsessively says about COVID, accept the absurdity of an influenzal virus presented as being more devastating than ebola, because they do not want to accept that their political leaders are lying shamelessly, with the goal of obtaining the social, economic, moral and religious destruction of a world that someone has decided to cancel. They do not know how to accept that the lie can be passed off as truth, that doctors are not curing and indeed are killing their patients, that civil authorities are not intervening to stop crimes and blatant violations, that politicians are all obeying a faceless lobby, that Bergoglio wants to demolish the Church of Christ to replace it with an infernal Masonic parody. Thus, out of this desire to not accept the deception and thus to not want to take a position against it and against those who promote it, they take refuge in the convenient mainstream narrative, suspending judgment and letting others tell them what to think, even if it is irrational and contradictory. Billions of people have voluntarily made themselves slaves, sacrificial victims to the globalist Moloch, allowing themselves to be persuaded of the inevitability of such a surreal and absurd situation. Or better still: the absurdity of what we see and what is told us seems to give greater strength to the reasons of those who, after two hundred years of revolution in the name of a supposed liberty, accept tyranny as a normal fact and go up to the gallows with the resignation of those who are convinced, after all, that they are guilty in some way.

    No less dismay is aroused by the behavior of those who, in contempt of any scientific evidence, think they can resolve this crisis by deploring the inefficiency in the distribution of vaccines, or remedy the damages of the lockdown by guaranteeing subsidies to companies and workers. In short, they would like to choose whether to be executed by hanging or the guillotine, without making any objections to the legitimacy of the sentence. And they immediately get upset as soon as anyone formulates objections, accusing them of conspiracy theories or denial, proclaiming that they are in favor of vaccines and giving attestations of loyalty to the dominant ideology. And they do not realize that precisely in allocating subsidies to companies damaged by the lockdown they legitimize the universal income theorized by the Great Reset and that is also strongly desired by the Vatican; they do not realize that there cannot be a vaccine for a mutant virus, and that the antigen that would guarantee immunity from a seasonal flu cannot exist as long as the virus has not been isolated rather than merely sequenced. They remind us of those who, in the Catholic sphere, deplore Bergoglio’s doctrinal and moral drifts, without understanding that they are in perfect coherence with the ideological foundations of the Council. Here too, as we see, rationality is canceled out in order to make room for “cognitive dissonance” and accept the absurd.

    Man is not a robot
    There is, however, an element that the conspirators have not taken into account: human weakness on the one hand, and the power of God on the other. Human weakness will make some of the accomplices in this conspiracy not be completely obedient to the orders they have been given, or they will think that they can gain personal advantage from the pseudo-pandemic by exposing cheating and corruption; some will think first of their own interest, others will impose the obligation of the vaccine on anyone, but they will have some scruples when it comes to vaccinating their own child or their elderly parent; some will fear that pandemic farce may somehow involve them in the scandal, and they will begin to confess and to talk; others will be used and then brutally cast aside, and this will arouse in them the desire for revenge and will lead them to reveal the background of the plan. A little bit at a time, this clay-footed colossus will collapse, inexorably, on its own lies and its own crimes.
    A salutary warning
    On the other hand, there is the power of God. Some of us, at the beginning, believed that the pandemic was real, and, with a supernatural spirit, thought that it was in some way a divine punishment for the grave sins of individuals and nations: they called for acts of reparation and prayers to ask God for the end of the plague. In the face of the evidence that there is no pandemic and that the deaths were deliberately caused to exaggerate the effects on the population, we must consider COVID as a scourge, not in itself, but for all that it has revealed: the plan of Satan for the establishment of the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr, which is meant to lead to the reign of the Antichrist. The Lord shows us, with the severity of a father, that He still wants to admonish His children and misled humanity about the consequences of sin. He shows us what world awaits us if we will not know how to convert, abandoning the way of perdition and returning to Him, to obedience to His holy Law, and to the life of grace.
    The response of Catholics
    But in order for the nations to return to God, their members must already belong to Him. In order for Christ to be King of the nations, He must first reign in our souls, our families, and our communities, and He must reign above all in the Holy Church, over His Ministers, over the Pope and over the bishops. As long as the living and true God is outraged by being placed alongside idols and demons, we cannot hope that Divine Mercy will put an end to this scourge and defeat the enemy.
    May this period of preparation for Holy Easter be a time of holy purpose for all of us: in penance, fasting, and sacrifice we must come to the foot of the Cross and contemplate in the Passion of Our Savior his act of victory over the Evil One. By having the Redeemer crucified on the wood of the Cross, Satan marked his own defeat, which still must be made definitive at the end of time but is most certain and inexorable.
    Let us return to God! Let us return to the Faith, pure and entire, without compromises with the mentality of the world. Let us return to Christian morality, to holiness of life, and to purity of customs. The number of the righteous will restrain the right hand of the Almighty and permit the Church to face the Calvary of her final persecution with the same dignity with which Her Head preceded her, because the Cross is the royal road that leads to the glory of the Resurrection. The broad and comfortable way is the one we see today, and unfortunately we know very well where it leads. May the powerful protection of the Most Holy Virgin, Our Lady and Queen, assist us in these epochal moments: may she be our general in this spiritual combat, along with Saint Michael the Archangel and the entire celestial court.
