Support Father Giorgio Maria Faré – Defend Freedom & Justice

SUPPORT FATHER GIORGIO MARIA FARÉ

 

Defend Freedom of Expression and Justice

 

Father Giorgio Maria Faré, a well-known and respected Italian Discalced Carmelite priest, has faithfully served the Church, dedicating his life to prayer, ministry, and service.

 

On October 13th, 2024, Father Faré delivered a carefully crafted, thorough, and heartfelt presentation from his pulpit, titled Never Surrender that Lion. In his speech, Father Faré raised grave canonical and theological doubts as to the validity of Benedict XVI’s resignation and the validity of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s subsequent election. The Lion, symbolizing Jesus, reflects Father Faré’s unwavering commitment to defend the Truth of the authentic Catholic Faith and Holy Mother Church, which safeguards it.

 

Fr. Faré’s courage in addressing such a sensitive topic from the pulpit led to swift repercussions against him. Within just 48 hours of delivering the speech, Father Faré was summoned to appear before his Carmelite superiors and given an ultimatum: retract his statements entirely within 15 days or face expulsion from the Discalced Carmelite Order, excommunication from the Church, denial of access to all Sacraments and Sacramentals for the rest of his life, and permanent prohibition of burial in holy ground. All unless he retracted.

 

Refusing to betray his conscience and surrender the conclusions of his research, and without receiving a proper theological response to his lucid arguments, Father Faré, after praying deeply to ensure that he was acting according to not just a correct conscience but a true conscience in good faith, refused to remain silent.

 

On November 18th, 2024, the Superior General of the Discalced Carmelite Order issued a public communiqué declaring that Fr. Giorgio Faré had incurred latae sententiae excommunication for the canonical crime of schism (cf. canons 751 and 1364 of the Code of Canon Law) and was dismissed as a religious from his order.

 

To date, not one ecclesiastical Superior has even attempted to refute Fr. Giorgio’s arguments and findings, despite his repeated requests that, if in error, they show him where and how. For the sake of the truth and in his defense, Fr. Faré has filed an administrative appeal against the illegitimate decree of excommunication and dismissal from his religious order with the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.

 

Without prior notice or due process, his Superior terminated his food allowance, stripping him of the most basic life support—food.

 

Father Faré is without any major support in this most important canonical-legal battle. As a friar who has lived the vow of humble poverty since his twenties, he has no personal savings to support him or income to fund his canonical defense.

 

Please donate to Fr. Giorgio Maria Faré’s cause.

 

Your contribution will:

  •     Provide him with daily food, so ruthlessly and illegally withdrawn by the Discalced Carmelite Order;
  •     Secure for him the canonical and legal defense he needs to defend himself before the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith against the unjust charge of schism, which, if not repulsed, could lead to him being defrocked as a priest;
  •      Help advance the inconvenient question that his religious superiors don’t want him to ask—the likelihood that Francis was not validly elected pope, as detailed in Fr. Faré’s research, Never Surrender that Lion.

 

Your support will directly fund Father Faré’s basic living and legal expenses. No amount is too small—every donation is a contribution towards justice and the pursuit of clarity.

 

Let us unite as a community of believers to support this courageous priest in his time of grave need.

 

Father Faré’s cry from the pulpit, “Never surrender that Lion,” inspires all of us to stand fast in the Faith and defend what is right, no matter what the cost, for the sake of Christ and His Church.

Help VPP Support Pregnant Migrant Women at the Border

The mission of The Vulnerable People Project (www.vulnerablepeopleproject.com), a program of Hero Inc, is to serve and defend the most vulnerable people in the world. Some of those least fortunate among us are pregnant and parenting mothers at our U.S. border. 

With the sharp upward trend of women making the dangerous journey to the U.S. border to seek asylum, many are pregnant or parenting young children.

When they get to the border, the danger is not over. Many pregnant women or mothers with infants are turned away at the border, which forces the young mothers to remain in Juarez where extreme weather and homelessness are not the only worry as shelters are co-ed and sexual assault & exploitation are frequent.

In response to these threats, a young missionary woman, Karina, has opened up two pregnancy centers & maternity homes at the border…one in Juarez (Casa Maris) and the other in El Paso (Stellar Shelter – named for Our Lady, Mother Stella Maria, the guiding patron of immigrants lost at sea).

These shelters give migrant women a safe space to live, help them get healthcare during pregnancy and after, and help them plan out the next steps they need to take to re-start their lives.

Karina has dedicated her life to this pro-life mission and has been serving at the border for more than 11 years, and, last week, she called The Vulnerable People Project for help.

Because she is driving into Mexico each day and her work often takes her to the tent encampments at the base of the Rio Grande River delivering cases of water, diapers, and other goods, her little car has taken quite a beating and often gets stuck in the muddy ravines.

And because she does this on a regular basis, she now frequently gets calls for help to pick up the medically vulnerable like a little boy named, Edgar, who is in a wheel chair.

However, with her car, it took her multiple trips earlier this month to get Edgar and his mom from the river edge to safety.

So, among the many things Karina needs, a truck is at the top of the list.

A truck will allow her to get to the river encampments and easily fit all of the goods she is delivering. Picking up those in wheelchairs and the elderly will also be easier too.

The Vulnerable People Project has committed to buy Karina a used Toyota Tacoma truck that she can use to continue her mission.


Thank you for considering this request to help some of the most vulnerable in our world, who are right at our border.

Karina has dedicated her life to helping those who have no voice and is doing a world of good serving pregnant women and young mothers, protecting them from abuse and exploitation.

We pray that with the incoming Trump Administration America will see a new, strong border policy that won’t encourage the exploitation of illegal migrant labor and the surge of dangerous gangs and drug lords.

But in the meantime, there are many who need us.


Will you help us buy a truck for Karina?
