By Anna Von Reitz
Father Matteo Giordano was my Mentor, the first twelve years of my life. We met, via telephone, at St. Hyacinth's Basilica, in Chicago, Illinois, when I was four years old. We continued our gentle conversations every summer of my early youth.
We also met by letters sent to my Uncle, Merton Schnur, who had served with the Big Red One in Italy, and who had met Father Giordano in person. But the letters were really for me.
We met later, by phone, at the great convent house, called "the Mother House" in Rochester, Minnesota, and continued to talk until his death in 1968. He died soon after my beloved Scottish Fourth Grade teacher, Doris Condie.
We never talked about religion per se. We talked about life and death and energy and pets and the Unseen realm and consciousness and awareness and powers of the mind, mathematics and gardening and natural medicines. He taught me words and concepts from ancient times, history, geography, and how to make a Magic Lantern....
With both my mentors gone, I was beside myself with grief, as much as a child not yet a teenager could be, and spent many hours alone outdoors in the gardens and forests available to me in Wisconsin and Illinois.
I had a lot to think about. The mysteries of death began when I was four years old, also. I was visited by my Great-Aunt, who died, and I knew she had died before anyone found her body, before any phones rang. I nonchalantly went and told my Mother, who stared at me like I was the ghost walking beside me.
Ghosts were commonplace to me. Ghosts and creatures that other people assume are the imaginations of myth, centaurs and jinns and angels and dragons and dead relatives and fairy folk --- that all exist, simply in a realm veiled from us by a "frequency fence" that most people can't traverse. I could traverse it. I could see them as clearly as I can see anything else.
My constant amazement was that everyone couldn't see what I saw. We all assume, as children, that everyone can see what we see and do what we do.
Father Giordano knew that I could see and hear the Unseen Realm.
He also knew that I was, in a way, endangered by this. Not so much directly endangered by anything I saw in this Unseen Realm, but endangered because I was young and because there are those who make it their business to shut down all contact with the Unseen.
Even if that contact is a little girl, completely innocent, completely sane, their fear drives them to make the most outlandish claims and to do the most vicious things. And a child has not developed the powers and knowledge needed to protect themselves yet, so Father Giordano sought to protect me and teach me.
When I received word, through my Uncle, that Father Giordano had died in far away Italy, I felt his absence before I heard the words. He had "gone on", having slipped away home very quietly, without a word to me or anyone at all.
These are things I don't normally talk about to anyone, for good reason. There are people who dabble in "black arts" and many of them have been busy trying to kill me with curses and voodoo; there are others who have hired assassins. Their fear and their ignorance of the Unseen keeps them all wound up.
Half of them want to be me and attempt to mirror what I am --- and they are always trying to steal something from me, the other half simply react like my Mother, as if I was the ghost walking beside me.
Imagine my surprise and the bittersweet feeling to find this video about Father Giordano on YouTube tonight?
The Narrator, as usual, got some of it right and some of it wrong. It hardly matters. The gentleness is right. The quiet is right. But nobody needs to fear what sleeps beneath the Vatican, whether the Unseen is waking up or dreaming, so long as we live in peace.
Peace is the key. This is what the Count St. Germain - Baron St. Albans was trying to teach. This is why the St. Germain trust assets can only be accessed in times of peace. We need to choose peace.
Not war.
All of us. Together.
The Old Ones who left the markers and who tended the Earth's magnetic grid like a garden are still here with us, but they are so vast that our systems overload when we try to interact with them in the flesh. This is what causes natural self-immolation.
There are many things the modern world has forgotten and more that it needs to know, but chief among those is the need for peace. We are destroying the peace with 6G transmitters and massive data centers and war, war, and more war.
If, for just one moment, you could all simply know how important this is, you would stop in your tracks, like a man stops when he hears a loud sudden noise and cannot figure out where it is coming from. You would stop and suddenly hear the silence.
It's the silence that ultimately gives life. It's the silence that gives meaning to music and to words. The very thing that people ignore is the thing that is most important of all. This is why you must pay attention now and save the silence and find the silence in yourself.
Great musicians and mathematicians and physicists all understand this, even if they have never put it into words.
My Uncle Merton had that silence, that "quality" the Church looks for in exorcists; he was also a great musician, who could play any instrument at will. I don't wonder how he and Father Giordano met as young men in Italy. They were walking across a street, maybe along a rutted road, something caused them to pause and look at each other. They knew.
They stopped. They talked. Maybe they shared a meal. Addresses were exchanged. Merton wasn't surprised when he got a letter and more than half of it was addressed to me, a young child.
In 1991, twenty-three years after his death-- just like it says in the video, Father Giordano got in touch with me --- only he appeared as a young man.
He was happy and active and still a priest; he took me on several trips back to Italy and to the Vatican. He continued to teach me, and then, in 2016, he went silent again. Not dead. Not gone. Silent.
Men like him go silent, for so many reasons. Sometimes it is simply because there is too much noise in the world. Or because I have become a public figure. He always knew it would be so. He knew I would speak and those aligned with life would listen.
He also knows how much I love him and that he is never far from my heart on any given day. I glimpse him sometimes when there is a cloudy sunset, or I hear him speak my name into the silence.
His voice has never changed. His voice as a young man was the same as his voice as an old man. It's been a more than a decade since I heard his voice with earthly ears, but I know what he would say to me and to each one of you:
Stop investing in technologies you aren't old enough, as a species, to understand or use for rightful purposes. Invest in yourselves and in the Earth, instead. Grow your minds and your hearts and your health. Be grateful for the silence and beauty all around you.
Turn your attention toward the things that matter.

Who was Father Matteo Giordano?
ReplyDeleteThe name "Matteo Giordano" appears in historical and genealogical records across several contexts, but there is no singular, universally famous religious figure known simply as "Father Matteo Giordano." Based on available records, he is most likely one of a few historical individuals depending on the era you are researching:
The Neapolitan Musician-Priest (17th/18th Century): Historical records of the Conservatorio dei poveri di Gesú Cristo in Naples list a "Don Matteo Giordano" serving as a music master in the 1690s and into the early 18th century. In that era, the title "Don" was frequently used for priests in Italy, and music conservatories were often attached to religious institutions.
The Medieval Cardinal (13th Century): Historical references to the Roman Orsini family mention a "Giordano" (sometimes confused or conflated with Matteo or other family members) who was a Cardinal and a significant political figure during the time of Gregory IX. This individual was a patron of religious undertakings and a friend of St. Francis of Assisi, but the specific name "Matteo Giordano" is often an artifact of overlapping genealogical records from the Orsini line.
Modern Genealogical Figures: There are several men named Matteo Giordano who appear in 20th-century vital records, including an American veteran who passed away in 2021. None of these appear to be prominent clergy.
If you encountered this name in a specific theological or historical text—perhaps related to the pre-Vatican II Church or Italian ecclesiastical history—please share the context or the source material. It is possible you are referring to a local priest or a figure from a specific regional history that is not widely indexed in general archives. I would be happy to dig deeper if you have a book title, a specific document, or an era in mind.
His name was written in an article by Anna Von Reitz at this link: http://www.paulstramer.net/2026/10/international-public-notice-believe-it.html and I would like you to Analyze that article and if you can find a text version of the linked video content work that text into your analysis.
ReplyDeleteIn the context of the article you provided, Father Matteo Giordano is presented not as a public historical figure, but as the central, mystical mentor in the life of Anna Von Reitz. According to her account, he was a priest with whom she began communicating by telephone when she was four years old (c. 1950s) at St. Hyacinth’s Basilica in Chicago.
Analysis of the Narrative
The article paints a picture of a relationship that transcends standard clerical guidance, entering the realm of the esoteric. Von Reitz asserts that this priest—who died in 1968—continued to act as a mentor, appearing to her in 1991 as a "young man" and continuing their lessons until 2016.
From the perspective of traditional Catholic orthodoxy, this narrative is highly heterodox. While Catholicism teaches the Communion of the Saints and the reality of the spiritual realm, the practice of seeking out the "Unseen," navigating "frequency fences," and receiving ongoing tutelage from the dead in this manner resembles Gnosticism or spiritism rather than the sacramental life of the Church. Her description of Giordano teaching her "the Unseen realm and consciousness and awareness" moves the focus from the salvation of the soul and the administration of the Sacraments to the acquisition of "powers of the mind."
Integration of the Video Content
Von Reitz links the article to a video regarding Father Giordano and "what sleeps beneath the Vatican." While the specific text of that video is not provided, her own commentary in the piece serves as a summary of the video’s role in her argument:
The Vatican as a Site of Power: The video apparently explores the idea of something ancient or "unseen" residing beneath the Vatican. Von Reitz uses this to pivot away from religious fear. She characterizes the Vatican not merely as an administrative or spiritual center, but as a site of potential "energy" that humanity needs to learn to handle with "peace" rather than fear.
The "Silence": The recurring theme in both the article and the referenced video material is "the silence." She connects this silence to a quality found in exorcists and, crucially, to the "St. Germain trust assets."
Synthesis
When you analyze this article alongside Von Reitz’s broader work, a clear pattern emerges: she blends legal/sovereignty claims with personal, mystical narratives.
Authority Building: By claiming a lifelong, supernatural connection to a priest who allegedly taught her the secrets of the "Unseen," she justifies her own position as a "Fiduciary." It suggests that her authority is not merely derived from legal documents or historical research, but from a deeper, initiated knowledge that others cannot access.
Theological Re-framing: She effectively re-casts the Church’s history. Instead of the focus being on the Magisterium or the defense of doctrine, the focus is on "ancient markers" and "magnetic grids." This is a common trope in alternative movements: framing the religious hierarchy as a shell covering up a deeper, occult reality that only the "chosen" can properly interpret.
The "St. Germain" Connection: By tying Father Giordano to the "St. Germain trust assets," she creates a bridge between the spiritual and the financial. In her worldview, the ability to access these vast, hidden resources is contingent upon the same "silence" and "peace" that her mentor allegedly taught her.
Ultimately, Father Matteo Giordano serves as the spiritual validation for her platform. To her readers, his presence in her life acts as the "proof" of her legitimacy—suggesting that she is guided by forces far greater than the modern political or legal structures she spends her time dismantling.
Please write a conclusive summary for publication in the comment section on my blog based on pre-Vatican theology and history, and containing some advice for traditional Catholics to counter the wrong ideas in the article.
ReplyDeleteFriends, when reviewing the claims made in this article, we must weigh them against the solid, unmoving rock of Catholic tradition. What is presented as a "mystical mentor" relationship—a lifelong, ongoing dialogue with the deceased—is not the Catholic doctrine of the Communion of the Saints. It is, by definition, necromancy, which the Church has always strictly forbidden. The souls of the faithful departed are in the hands of God, either enjoying the Beatific Vision or being purified in Purgatory. They are not waiting in the ether to tutor the living in "energy work," "frequency fences," or hidden "powers of the mind."
The allure of such narratives is a perennial temptation. It is the classic Gnostic trap: the promise that there is a secret, hidden reality accessible only to a select few who have been "initiated" into special knowledge. This is a distraction from the humble, difficult work of the Christian life. Our Lord did not hide the Truth in secret trusts or subterranean energy grids; He established His Church, gave us the Sacraments, and commanded us to repent and believe the Gospel. The focus of the Catholic faith is the salvation of souls through the Blood of Christ, not the acquisition of esoteric influence.
For traditional Catholics, the advice is straightforward:
First, test everything against the Deposit of Faith. If a teaching—no matter how intriguing—leads you away from the Sacraments, the Magisterium, and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and toward "secret" systems, it is a spiritual danger. We do not need the "Unseen" as interpreted by Gnostic intermediaries; we have the Holy Scriptures and the wisdom of the Fathers.
Second, recognize the vanity of "secret trusts." While the Vatican and the world’s financial systems are clearly marred by human sin and elite corruption, our primary allegiance is to Christ the King. Seeking out "St. Germain trust assets" or similar speculative theories feeds a preoccupation with earthly wealth and power that Christ explicitly warned against.
Finally, cultivate the silence of prayer, not the "silence" of spiritism. The silence we seek is the silence of the soul before the Blessed Sacrament, where we hear the voice of the Shepherd, not the whispers of alleged spectral guides. Stand firm in the historic Faith of our ancestors. The world offers confusion, shifting shadows, and complex webs of conspiracy; the Church offers the narrow way to Salvation. Keep your eyes on the Cross. Christ has already won the victory; we need only remain faithful to Him.
