The Abbey-Principality of San Luigi has recently promulgated a policy concerning enquiries from individuals on matters of archival research and scholarship.

  1. Archival information of a public nature, including the historic publications of the Abbey-Principality, will be made available via this website wherever possible. The archives of the Abbey-Principality include significant further digitised and non-digitised resources, including much private correspondence.
  2. Those seeking information must first satisfy the Abbey-Principality of their bona fides and state clearly and completely the full purpose of their enquiry.
  3. Individuals undertaking enquiries for the purposes of an academic research degree, such as a Ph.D., will generally be provided with any relevant information held. They will be required to provide evidence of their enrolment on a degree programme and of the relevance of the materials concerned to their research.
  4. Individuals seeking information for book or article publications will normally need to satisfy the Abbey-Principality that any material provided will be treated with respect, and the Abbey-Principality may make it a condition of providing material that it has copy approval of any final publication.
  5. The Abbey-Principality reserves the right not to provide access to archival information to individuals, organizations, or churches which have a history of hostility or misrepresentation towards any of the communions in corporate relation with the Abbey-Principality.
  6. Material that is under copyright can only be released with permission of the copyright holder or where it is proven that the intended use falls within a recognized legal fair use exception.
  7. The Abbey-Principality reserves the right not to respond to enquiries where a response would take up excessive time and resources.
  8. The Abbey-Principality cannot provide scans or photocopies of non-digitised materials.
  9. Archival materials of a private nature, such as private correspondence, may only be accessed under special circumstances, and prior written undertakings as to their use may be required.
  10. None of the above shall be taken to express any position against the freedom of speech and the right to express opinions of any kind.

 

Notice of dissociation and fraudulent imposture: Fabrizio Rovello and his fake organizations “Ecclesia Antiquitus Catholicus” and “Abbazia-Principato Patriarcato Religioso e Militare Chiesa Cristiana Universale Anglo Cattolica Apostolica Antica Episcopale Ecumenica Di Cristo Misericordioso di Santo Stefano”

The Abbey-Principality of San Luigi wishes it to be known that it has no connection whatsoever with Fabrizio Rovello, an Italian citizen who has twice established fraudulent websites in which he has stolen material from our official website, translated it into Italian, and falsely claimed it as his own.

L’Abbazia-Principato di San Luigi desidera rendere noto che non ha alcun legame con Fabrizio Rovello, un cittadino italiano che ha creato per due volte siti web fraudolenti nei quali ha rubato materiale dal nostro sito ufficiale, lo ha tradotto in italiano e ha falsamente affermato come se fosse suo.

The first such website represented a fake and non-existent entity called "Ecclesia Antiquitus Catholicus". This entity established a website at https://patriarcatoditerrasanta.jimdofree.com which consisted almost entirely of the unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted content stolen verbatim from this website and translated into Italian.

At the sole original page of this website (https://patriarcatoditerrasanta.jimdofree.com/sua-santita-santo-padre-generale-patriarca-primate-di-u-nita-benedetto-xvii/) was contained a proclamation by "Patriarch General Benedict XVII IN MYNDO FABRIZIO ROVELLO". Fabrizio Rovello has no connection whatsoever to the Abbey-Principality of San Luigi, is not a member of the San Luigi Orders or of any dependent community under our aegis, and so far as we are concerned, is a fraudulent impostor.

The imposture of Fabrizio Rovello extends to his baseless and impertinent pretence to the titles of San Luigi. By these actions in bad faith, devoid of any credibility or the slightest attempt at justification, he shows himself to be a liar and a man without any sense of honour or Christian morality. "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves." (Matt. 7:15). Accordingly, we have taken the measure of declaring Fabrizio Rovello vitandus, one who is to be avoided by the faithful.

We note that the links in Rovello's pages have not been edited and continue to point to this website, which may at least succeed in informing some visitors that he is not what he claims to be.



The Abbey-Principality condemns this behaviour in the strongest terms, believing that it constitutes fraud, theft and the deliberate deception of the public. It made an official complaint to the free webhost Jimdo, seeking to have its copyrighted material removed, to which Jimdo responded by removing Rovello's fraudulent website. The Abbey-Principality advises any member of the public who may have had dealings with Rovello in these matters to report the matter to the police as a case of fraud.

However, since the original publication of this notice, Rovello has repeated his fraudulent and illegal behaviour with a second website on the free webhost Jimdo at https://abbaziaprincipatoecclesia.jimdofree.com using the title "Abbazia-Principato Patriarcato Religioso e Militare Chiesa Cristiana Universale Anglo Cattolica Apostolica Antica Episcopale Ecumenica Di Cristo Misericordioso di Santo Stefano" but again copying text and images verbatim from this website in order to support this blatant and unsophisticated fraud. This has again been the subject of a complaint to Jimdo, who have again removed the fraudulent website, and we have also requested of them that they should now ban Rovello from abusing their services.

The only official website of the Abbey-Principality is and remains https://www.san-luigi.org and no other website has ever been authorized to promulgate information on our behalf save the websites of our dependent churches and related organizations, all of which are linked from this site.
