A sub-category of News.
Above: the pilgrimage of hope graphic from last year’s trip during the synod. At OnePeterFive, we cover Vatican news on the internet. It’s a source stress for me for a number of reasons. For one thing, constantly following every new news story is a spiritual death trap. I know that for me personally, I have…
Although the conservative provocateur Matt Walsh tried to go for something different with his new documentary Am I Racist?, it’s impossible not to see the film as a kind of sequel to his first documentary, What Is a Woman? True, in this one he dons a wig and becomes a certified DEI expert to go…
“We start with the criminal migrants,” J.D. Vance said in response to a question during the recent vice-presidential debate. “About a million of those people have committed some form of crime in addition to crossing the border illegally, I think you start with deportations on those folks.” If Donald Trump and J.D. Vance win the…
News broke yesterday that Bishop Bernard Tissier de Mallerais has died. As an SSPX Bishop, obviously His Excellency was a controversial figure in the Church. Nevertheless we ask all Catholics to respect the dead and refrain from all commentary and polemics and instead focus on praying for his soul. After the funeral we can speak…
Above: Denver, United States. Denver, Colorado is blessed with Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, an FSSP Apostolate which had very humble beginnings, as did all the FSSP Apostolates and other TLM Communities. Many folks are now asking how a small army of Latin Mass lovers built our tiny early community from July of 1996…

Combine that with the heresy and corruption rampant in the Church and the insanity of our…
Of Protestantism’s problems (of which there are many), one which does not provoke sufficient comment is its account of doctrinal development. For many Protestants, the very idea of such a concept seems patently illegitimate and unbiblical—how could doctrine develop? Isn’t that akin to saying that Christianity is subject to evolutionary forces, that it is not…
Assaults on the city of Rome, the See of Peter, have not been infrequent over the course of the millennia. Attila attempted. But he failed when he came into the formidable presence of Leo, called “the Great,” resulting in a dramatic volte-face. Napoleon conquered Rome in 1809. The Italian Nationalists of the Risorgimento mounted attacks…
Clarity is the courtesy we owe to those who, while they may reject our views as mistaken, nevertheless evince enough curiosity to ask why it is we believe the things we do. And now and again—not always, of course—it may happen that having plainly told them, they may actually come round to believing those same…
The belief system known as “wokeism” has become, for all intents and purposes, the religion of the ruling regime. Transgenderism is not only the regime’s theoretical philosophy; it has, in practice, infected leaders at the highest levels of government. The sitting vice president and Democratic presidential candidate apparently supports racial reparations and taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries……
