Edit: The following a translation of an article by Federico Catani we've received and edited slightly, recapping the situation as it stood in February and continues today:
“Lies have short legs” and time continues to give reason to popular wisdom. A few days ago, Msgr. Jose Rodriguez Carballo, secretary of the Roman Congregation that is concerned with religious life, has released in a press conference some affirmations regarding the question of the Franciscans of the Immaculate. The aim? To defend at all costs a congregation (that is the Congregation for the Institutes of Consecrated life and Societies of Apostolic life) that is already considered an accomplice before the whole world, if not in actuality sent, for the destruction of one of the most flourishing and holy Institutes of pontifical right, erected by the will of the future saint Pope John Paul II. Naturally climbing up a slippery slope is not easy, and sooner or later one is bound to slip, and in fact his affirmations are failing desperately in many ways. The first to notice this was Sandro Magister who had brought the numbers at hand to light, the figures that have been manipulated by the ex-general of the Friars Minor to justify an external commissioner has given birth to the banner of injustice and of falsity. In fact, the total, to be benevolent, was numbered to be of about fifty religious, which has miraculously been transformed in the hands of Carballo (or by someone for him) to 74% of friars of the Institute (regarding this, read the precisely documented article of Lorenzo Bertocchi). Another journalist that has awakened to this deceitfulness is Marco Tosattione one of the few vaticanists that have not been seduced by the dominant methods in use in these parts for almost a year now.
There is however one other affirmation of Carballo, passed by unobserved from the excellent pen of Magister, that is destined to contradict itself with the facts at hand, and that is the circumstantiation that the external commissioning would not have been caused primarily by the adoption of the Old Rite of the Mass. Nevertheless anyone having had read the questionnaire sent out by the apostolic Visitor Msgr. Vito Todisco to the religious of the FFI (only to the perpetually professed, about 200) would not need long to understand that main accusation was principally the adoption of the Old Rite (see here). It’s very true that the questionnaire seemed already to underline the forced introduction of the rite on the part of the founder Father Stefano Manelli, or at least this is how he was calumniously accused by a small group of disobedient friars. Although unfortunately, that with this type of attitude the founder had never either recalled or reprimanded or excluded these friars for not having ever celebrated it. This, however, the Congregation came to understand much too late or if they had understood right away, had maliciously left it unmentioned for other reasons. So when they became aware that this accusation didn’t hold up anymore, they desperately looked for another primary accusation: and behold! the tale of the movable goods and the passing of the immovable goods to the relatives of Father Manelli. Nevertheless this was also a baseless accusation that has finished in failure, insomuch that the same commissioner, with his profound humiliation had to officially deny the defamation (see here).
Now one may ask what else these destroyers of the order must now invent about the FFI. Among others, besides that of the Corrispondenza Romana, which has begun another collection of signatures against the vaticans handling of the circumstances of the poor religious and other journalist, like Antonio Socci (see here, and here), who are taking.
*Note of the sea of falsity and injustices which are coalescing a cheap spectacle for all in the Church of mercy, towards a religious order that is absolutely CATHOLIC. We must wait to see but we already know that the truth sooner or later will come to light!

Praying for the exoneration of the holy founders and the restoration of the Institute as they would have directed. Let the dissenters go their own way! Maybe the blogging friar with nothing better to do than stir up disobedience and point fingers at other bloggers--calling at least one of them a 'rad trad protestant' in a public manner--will see how many want to follow him when all is said and done.
The failure of the Pope to put a stop to the unjust and unlawful suppression of the faithful Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate is a shocking and heartbreaking scandal. As is the silence of the cardinals and bishops.
I've prayed. I've signed & sent petitions. But the powers that be are determined to crush the TLM wherever and whenever they have the opportunity. Santa Maria, ora pro nobis!
Bergoglio is destroying the Church at astounding speed. The Devil must be full of joy to finally have his man on the throne.
There is no excuse in time or eternity to halt The Latin Mass! There will never be exoneration. Catholics, ( and I mean practicing and believing souls) should be outraged by this. The fox is in the henhouse and the hens are being obedient to the fox.
This is a time that cannot be compared too. Pray this imposter's reign is short!
Once this ball started rolling it was never likely to stop. Until there is a new man at the top. Already one or two cardinals are breaking ranks. I think there will be more - they remain beneath the radar so far. The Bishop of Rome is not as powerful as he thinks he is.
The real problem with the FFI is they are Catholic, unlike most of the "teachings" and exhortations currently coming from Rome. Perhaps someone will donate enough money to airdrop several thousand Baltimore Catechism #3 over Vatican City. Perhaps inept them might be read by some in the Curia (after that, the plane could head toward Germany.
HAHAHAHA!!! Made my day with your funny but serious comment!
