About Chronovisor

He was a Benedictine priest, a linguist, a foremost world authority on

archaic pre-Christian, pre polyphonic music. He was also the most famous
exorcist in Venice, Italy as well as a quantum physicist. He was a world
class scholar who did not view science and the metaphysical to be
differentiated by a hard and fast line. Father Marcello Pelligrino Ernetti was
born in 1925 outside of Rome and entered the Benedictine abbey of San
Giorgio Maggiore in Venice at the age of 16, remaining there until his
death at the age of 69.

Ernetti first crossed the pale, conjoining hard science with the mysteries of
the beyond in 1952. Ernetti was involved in deep research with Father
Agostino Gemthe founder of the Catholic University of Milan and President
of the Pontifical Academy, attempting to filter harmonics from Gregorian
chants. During the course of a recording project at the Laboratory of
Physics at the Catholic University of Milan, Ernetti and one Father Gemelli

1
(a Benedictine monk at the famous Abbey of San Giorgio Maggiore in
Venice) became the first people to record identifiable paranormal voices.
The voice belonged to Gemelli’s deceased father. Astounded the men
repeated their experiment, with the same results.

The Fathers subsequently requested an interview with Pope Pious XII, to

whom they told the whole story and presented their findings. The Pope
seemed very pleased, and put the worried Fathers at ease by telling them
‘Tape recorders cannot be influenced’. He then declared that the results
could mark ‘The beginning of a new scientific study that would confirm
faith in the Beyond’.

Ernetti dived into this new research, formulating theories to answer the
questions: what happened to all the sights and sounds humans make? Did
they disappear completely or do they continue to exist in some way?
Through Papal connections and backing, he was introduced to a team of
12 of the world’s greatest scientific minds in order to further this research.
A team which included Enrico Fermi, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics
in 1938 and designer of the world’s first nuclear reactor, as well as Werner
Von Braun, former SS Colonel, head of the Nazi rocket program and later
the man who would lead the American Apollo space program. The
research was conducted in complete secrecy, with no leaks or mentions
made until the early 1960’s.

In his little 12 by 12 foot monastic cell Father Pellegrino Ernetti greeted
Father Francois Brune one afternoon in the early 1960's. Brune was a
fellow expert on ancient languages and the men were involved in a
conversation on scriptural interpretation. During the course of their brief
conversation Ernetti made an offhand reference to “a machine which could
easily answer all of these questions.”

The secret research of the previous decade had yielded the Chronovisor, a
type of time machine which would bring pictures and sounds from the past
into the present. Looking a bit like a television, the machine worked by
detecting all the sights and sounds that humanity had made that still
floated through space. The Chronovisor was portrayed as a large cabinet
with a normal cathode ray tube for viewing the received events and a
series of buttons, levers, and other controls for selecting the time and the
location to be viewed. It could also focus and track specific people.
According to its inventor, it worked by receiving, decoding and
reproducing the electromagnetic radiation left behind from past events,
though it could also pick up sound waves.

To Brune, Ernetti claimed to have witnessed a performance in Rome in 169

BC of the now-lost tragedy, Thyestes, by the father of Latin poetry,
Quintus Ennius. He also claimed to have witnessed Christ dying on the

3
cross. "We saw everything. The agony in the garden, the betrayal of Judas,
the trial - Calvary."

Brune, already author of several books on paranormal phenomena and

religion, used Enretti’s story to fuel his new cottage industry, publishing
The Vatican’s New Mystery. The claims within were of course utterly
dismissed by the Vatican.

Enretti produced a copy of Thyestes which he claimed to have copied

while viewing the performance, as well as a photograph of Christ’s face as
he hung on the cross. Both of these pieces of
“evidence” were as well, heavily controversial.
During the last years of his life Enretti became
quiet on the subject. Brune has suggested that
Enretti came under heavy Vatican pressure to
do so.

A few months before his death, Enretti told of a

meeting at the Vatican with the final members of
the team to have worked on the Chronovisor. At
this meeting it was said that the one and only
machine had been destroyed. In the wrong
hands, Ernetti said, it could create the "most
fearsome dictatorship the world has ever
seen."

On his death bed in 1994 Enretti recanted, saying that he made it up.
There are those however that don’t believe this to be the true story. Why
would so distinguished a churchman have felt the need to confabulate
such a tale?

The Chronovisor, it has been suggested, still exists in Vatican hands, used
for their own ends.
