How I wish I had the legal muscle of Bishop Robert Barron, who has sent not one but two legal threat letters to Commonweal because midwit Massimo Faggioli said Barron was a part of what he calls the “Trump-Strickland Axis,” whatever that is. Commonweal removed the offending paragraph of this nonsensical piece and, in its…
Three-time Super Bowl Champion Harrison Butker is the latest target of the Woke Mob. His offense? Butker, a Catholic, spoke about Catholicism at a Catholic school’s graduation ceremonies. Clearly he now must be canceled. Of course it’s more complicated than that. Butker specifically spoke of those aspects of Catholicism that we’re not supposed to talk…
Above: a Texas Renaissance Festival battle. As readers are aware, last month Dignitas infinita was published. I do not wish to enter into a systematic critique, which Edward Feser, Jeanne Smits, and Peter Kwasniewski have already done very well. Rather, today I want to look at the method, the aftermath, the grounds (for that aftermath),…
In 1948, the first Met Gala was held as an event to fundraise for one of New York’s finest museums. Since that time, it has turned into a mecca for Hollywood elites to showcase their finest—and most outrageous—garb. Widely considered one of the biggest fashion events of the year, the Met Gala is always an…
Before the start of Mass in a Mexican town last week, a wounded American bishop looked into a sea of teenage girls who had, he’d been told, been hurt in inhumane ways. Three thousand or so girls stood before him at Villa de Las Niñas in blue skirts, white blouses, bobby socks, and black saddle…

In July of 2023, Meyer also appeared…
Legendary mutual fund manager Peter Lynch teaches that investors should “let their winners pay for their losers.” In other words, hold on to companies that show good financials and reasonable prospects for growth, regardless of the share price. If you see a stock go up 20-30 percent, don’t necessarily conclude that it’s time to sell….
Was she the cause of the 1984 Indult? At OnePeterFive we promote what we term the “godfathers of Tradition” – those men and women who fought for the ancient Roman Rite and the Faith since the Iconoclastic revolution of the 1960s. As younger generations provide fresh energy to the Trad movement, it is not only…
Many faithful Catholics are perplexed and distressed by the reign of Pope Francis, and some have seized upon what are often called with derision “conspiracy theories” to explain it. The bizarre nature of his teaching and governance continues to lend plausibility to such theories. I am going to be up-front and tell you right now…
Genesis 2:21-24 speaks of the married couple as becoming “two-in-one-flesh.” This phrase specifies the uniqueness of the union between husband and wife.
