A HEARTFELT MESSAGE TO CARDINAL BRANDMÜLLER
The Latin Mass Movement is dead!+ Ave Maria, Dearest Eminence, Cardinal Walter Brandmüller!
I am Valerio, a faithful Italian. From this interior place called the heart, I speak to you before the world. And I speak to everyone. I want to thank you for your recent interventions. First of all, the appeal of February 24, 2026 (Per una “riforma della riforma” che faccia pace …), in which you affirm that liturgical unity (of the Roman Rite) is necessary for unity of faith. I realize that you perhaps hope for a harmonious unity between the vetus (Latin rite) and the novus (rite of the Council), but your sincere statement of November—I don't know if you realized—says something else entirely. And however involuntary, it constitutes the truth about our time. In fact, in the interview of November 13, 2025 (fourth response) (Kardinal Brandmüller: Für ein neues Konzil ist …), you argue that if the conciliar reform had been properly implemented, the Latin Mass would practically not exist. Without realizing it, perhaps, you have partially distanced yourself from the movement for the Old Mass. You did it quietly. Spontaneously. Without theology. But with your heart. And you hit the nail on the head! What you were incidentally whispering is true. Namely, that liturgical unity precisely and necessarily means liturgical uniformity. If the Council Mass were well done (and it must be reformed, you assert), the other would not exist. That's exactly how it is. As he said. And do you know why it would be (and will be) so... and why—without superstructure—did he end up saying it? Because it's right! Natural, clear, pure...! I ask you to be completely honest. To have the courage to publicly sever the umbilical cord with the religious deception still in place. There can be no liturgical peace between the two sides, then. Do you realize this? Peace requires justice. One rite for one faith: a very simple expression that isn't true just because it's simple and pretty. But it's true nonetheless. And it's simple. And pretty. So much so! And it's grounded in the words of Jesus: "that they may all be one." And it's written in black and white at the Council of Trent. What's at stake here isn't just ecclesiastical, but also the personal sanctity of all of you, Cardinals R.L. Burke, Cordileone, Sarah, Bishops Eleganti, Schneider, and so on. In the afterlife, we know that some cannot speak the name of Mary. And we also know who. And in this world, there are those who struggle to speak of the beloved son of Her Immaculate Heart, John Paul II. Yet his pontificate is rather cumbersome. Strategic, the first post-conciliar period. It's hard not to notice. And Wojtyla read the third secret of Fatima! Yes, like every Pope. To this day, we the people don't fully understand it (we lack the explanation of the vision). We do know, however, that it concerns the unprecedented apostasy of priests, bishops, and cardinals... And Saint John Paul II, after reading and understanding that the secret of Fatima concerns the apostasy of the clergy, for 26 years treated the Latin Mass like the Black Death. That's all! The movement that wants the Latin Mass is over! It's false! Can we say the Polish Pope was a fool? Or that he was evil!? And he resolved the "problem" with ease, almost carefree, on a simple A4 sheet of paper, commissioned from the Congregation for Divine Worship in 1984. What for some is instead an existential argument. For me too, apparently...
The liturgical issue between the two missals is so profound that it affects the very foundation and architecture of our Faith! And you know this! Therefore, if John Paul II had been wrong, he wouldn't be a saint. Exactly as the Lefebvrists furiously blather. Cardinal Ruini recently declared that Ratzinger was an excellent theologian, but that John Paul II is the greatest saint we've had in recent times in the reigning Church. There! We must recognize that this is true and that he has been betrayed! The movement for the Latin Mass is dead, then! And it is in disarray. In his appeal, dear Brandmüller speaks of innovators opposed to supporters of the old Mass. Wojtyla did nothing but honor a principle to which all the Council Fathers adhered and which has existed for centuries. So the innovators, liturgically speaking, are not those who disagree with you and yours, but you yourself! Your appeal, therefore, however legitimate (and very welcome to me, I love you!) and however much it tries to be impartial, truly fails to be so. And then, I say this to your friends: desperately asking to apply the 1962 Missal, just because it hasn't been abrogated, is the speech of pettifoggers, not of spiritual people. And of losing lawyers, who cling to passing norms (worse: outdated), rather than principles. And of rebels, who don't accept that the Council replaced one Mass with another. Cardinal Giuseppe Siri also said this brutally, in a letter from the 1980s. Dear Cardinal, you wrote that the "Mass of All Time" is only in the words of the Consecration, while everything else has always changed. And in 1965, the Missal changed, precisely. In recent days, Bishop Schneider has jeopardized his entire credibility by asking Leo XIV to accept the upcoming episcopal consecrations of the Society of Saint Pius X. He stated that they would not be enemies of the Pope. Soon, however, bishops will be illicitly consecrated. And by whom? By other already illicit bishops. Those who were also illicitly ordained priests by Lefebvre, suspended a divinis already in 1976. In what hands are we! It's certainly not God who wants His Pope to accept a schism, as Bishop Schneider is asking. On whose behalf is he asking this, then?! If it's not God, it must be someone else. And those who work for "someone else" have no peace. In recent days, Bishop Schneider has again suggested to Leo XIV that by granting the Latin Mass to the Movement of which he is a member (and spearhead), he will be remembered forever for the Leonine liturgical peace. Do you know who did this, dear Cardinal? It's always the same one. That "someone else" who tempted Jesus in the desert. And who today ideally leads the gentle Christ on earth to the summit of a mountain and says to him: give us what we want, and in exchange you will have eternal glory. It's curious that Bishop Schneider finds himself metaphorically in the same place as those he rightly (and better than anyone) warned in recent years about Christian ethics. The war you speak of, dear Brandmüller, clearly has two fronts. And the two teams are now tied: 1-1. But why on earth has Schneider made such unfortunate and decisive statements in recent days!? Perhaps because he knows full well that the affairs of the Society of Saint Pius X and the Movement that promotes the Tridentine Mass within the Church are morbidly linked. And intricate. Already in 2005, Bishop Fellay, a Lefebvrian, said that within the Church there was someone who thought like them. Now we know it's true. And it's more than a few. The Lefebvrians are, at the very least, obvious schismatics. It's clear that Benedict XVI, in good faith in revoking the excommunication of the Society's bishops in 2009, is doing the opposite of Wojtyla. And this once again proves to be a clear failure. We must reflect! The Polish Pope is a saint also for the moral intransigence he had towards them. He wanted to win them back into the Church, isolating the head, Archbishop Lefebvre, to win him back as well. Ecclesia Dei (1988) is all there is to it. Furthermore, we know that Pope Ratzinger had rightly convinced himself that the Eucharist is received only kneeling and in the mouth, ideally subordinating himself to the authority of a predecessor, Innocent I, who, with the support of a subsequent tradition spanning almost two thousand years, had sanctioned this principle. The cardinals, bishops, and priests of the Tridentine Movement should have "obliged" the Pope, even publicly, to restore the Universal Law. This was a duty before God and the clear Word of the Gospel (in the name of Jesus every knee should bend!) and this request was resounding in Marian apparitions, while the request to redo the Mass in Latin was completely absent. But it wasn't done! And you were His "friends"...! And you were His "advisers"! Surely you know that today Leo XIV consecrates bishops who, as priests, removed the altar rails from churches.
I will send this letter to bishops, cardinals, the Superior of the Augustinians, and various others, as in the past. I pray that it may reach the Pope, to whom I can teach nothing. But as a very small believer, I express my closeness to Him. May He fear nothing and no one. Leo XIV now has the opportunity to resolve two problems, without waiting until June. The excommunication of the Society should be reinstated. And the pre-Summorum Pontificum orientation on the Latin Mass should be restored. This is also for the good of Benedict XVI, whose image has been tarnished by the 2007 Motu Proprio. And he doesn't deserve it. He was badly advised. Saint John Paul II was right on both counts: the Latin Rite and the Lefebvrians!
Pay attention to the most significant issue: the Almighty has granted the Church 10 recognized Eucharistic miracles since 1965. I feel a bit like the man who came down from the mountain 3,000 years ago with the 10 words that changed the world. Those who awaited him were stubborn and were humiliated. Don't be like them. Today, the 10 words are 10 signs. The wonders are 10, but the message is unequivocal! The miracles are all and only in the Conciliar Mass, despite the Tridentine promotional campaign, vigorously supported in the media, having allowed over 2,000 places of worship to celebrate. Jesus disagrees! 10 miracles to ZERO! That's very clear! And there would be others, but they are not recognized. It is the most imposing Reality that exists in the Universe that explains what the authentic Liturgy of the Church is (which obviously requires a reform that will recover some aspects of the ancient Mass). You should write about this. Because it will be done. And if you don't, humbly, someone else will, and they won't be kind to you. If, as we know, it is the Lord who inspires the Liturgy, well... will His manifest and reiterated opinion count for anything? Our Creator has shown everyone that there is only one rite! That there is only one form of the Roman rite. He shows us Unity in liturgical Uniformity. The dualism between the Conciliar rite and the Latin Mass is your invention! A mystification packaged in a frivolous way in the 2007 motu proprio with the misleading expression of two forms for one rite! Look for a fig leaf if you can, because the time has come. Don Nicola Bux, for example, even these days in the newspaper Roma (and everywhere else) is busy denying that liturgical unity means uniformity of rite. That is: a single form (Conciliar) for a single rite (Roman). God has shown that this is indeed the case. With miracles recognized by the Church and examined by Science. It's time for you to surrender. Moreover, you claim to celebrate a rite that Cardinal Brandmüller, one of your own, defined in November 2025 as imperfect! And in many ways. Miracles, on the other hand, are perfect, the Real Presence of Jesus! And they are irremediably in harmony with the teachings of Saint John Paul II in that famous A4 sheet of 1984 and with 400 years of Catholic Christianity up to Saint Pius V, Himself included! It's normal, clear that it should be so! Because the Creator does not contradict Himself! By now you are a night with few stars. And they are falling, one by one. You are not few, indeed. Indeed... But be careful not to become a Monicelli-esque army. The signs of a perfect storm are all there. To humiliate the Doctors of the Law, the Lord sent a fool, a true, total idiot! And I hope no one ever doubts this. I assure you it's true, I know him very well, do you think I don't know... is it me!? And I am truuly... yes, truuly with two "u"... surprised!!!... that Robert Musil was able to write his most famous novel without ever having met me. How could he have done it!? And yet... That fool, layabout, and do-nothing I mentioned before pointed to a Reality (which is at the same time Fact, Doctrine, irrefutable argument, and definitive liturgical teaching) that everyone could and can see for 60 years on Planet Earth, but that no one had looked at. No one, I swear, no one... And we are billions! Billions of billions. Maybe trillions. This is memorable. Not only in its substance. But in its method. Someone who knows nothing and understands even less, who arrives before theologians or theologians... Whatever.
And now I'm thrilled! Yes...! And so happy! For having written to you again. And it came out so well, this time too! It sounds like Maradona's goal against England! The one from midfield. Perhaps it's thanks to my dad, who has been missing for five years now, or to Saint John Paul II, whose relic we venerate in my parish, carefully guarded by the Salvatorian Fathers, holy men! I urge you to visit this relic in the Church of Santa Maria Assunta in Tortoreto Lido (Teramo, Italy, the World, the Universe, that's it).
Finally, dear Cardinal Walter Brandmüller, I have great faith in you! You are the dean of the cardinals linked to Tradition, and since November I have particularly liked you. I hope that from today onwards you will be a more clearly visible sign of contradiction and intellectual honesty towards your friends, for the good of the Church. Eucharistic miracles speak for themselves! Silently! No great studies are needed. Just a pinch of simplicity. It's all simple. And joyful. The strange thing is that these last ten recognized miracles are theologically in harmony with the very simple and beautiful expression we mentioned above. Yes, above, above, above...: a single rite for a single faith. So: Simple + simple = true! ...but why can't you smell it!? Can't you smell it's true? And it smells beautiful! ...yes, it smells of Heaven! God bless you! Thank you for your time. Most Holy Mary of Splendor, Queen Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix of all Graces and Advocate, pray for us! Amen.
