Periodically, I receive complaints from people who say that they can’t find an article they just saw in the last day or so. The reason for this is because our featured content section — the large image at the top of the website — is a slider, designed to hold ten articles at a time. As…
Yesterday, we told you that the Vatican Philatelic and Numismatic Office plans to issue a stamp bearing the image of Martin Luther. Now, in a reflection given to commemorate the fifth centenary of the Protestant Reformation — and published in the official Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano — Cardinal Kurt Koch, President of the Pontifical Council…
Earlier this week, I heard from friends in Italy about a rumored Vatican postage stamp that would feature none other than the great-grand heresiarch himself, Martin Luther. Unable to make time to dig into it myself — and having heard some trepidation that it was, perhaps, a false report — I let it slip off my…
Nearly three years ago, the inspiration for OnePeterFive came almost out of the blue. It was early 2014, and I couldn’t get the idea out of my mind. There was, I thought, an obvious need that was going unmet. Though very few people had realized it yet, I saw that we were facing a papacy that was quickly…
As the ecclesiastical crisis continues to deepen in 2017, I have found myself facing a certain exhaustion; a feeling that, while knowing the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church, that Christ will have the final victory, there is no respite from the near-constant series of assaults from the enemies of God’s truth.…
On August 23rd, 1973, four bank workers in Stockholm, Sweden, were taken hostage at gunpoint by Jan-Erik Olsson, a career criminal who was later joined by a friend of his from prison. After six days — during which the captives were treated harshly, terrified, strapped with dynamite, and kept in a vault — the standoff…
(Image: the opening procession of the 2015 Nellie Gray Mass) We wanted to bring your attention to an upcoming event of some significance later this month. The Paulus Institute for the Propagation of Sacred Liturgy is once again hosting the annual Nellie Gray Mass in remembrance and for the repose of the soul of pro-life…
2016 has nearly come to an end, and as we look back over past twelve months, it’s interesting to see which articles were viewed the most. We covered a great many topics, and focused much attention on certain areas of news and analysis, but ultimately, our readers decided what was most important to them. It is…
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. – Isaiah 9:6 From all of us at OnePeterFive, we wish you a Merry, blessed, and grace-filled Christmas and God’s abundant blessings in the…
On December 7, 1914, Pope Benedict XV wrote suggested that a temporary hiatus in the “Great War” be observed in honor of the Christmas celebration. While his proposal was not well received by the commanding officers of the German and British militaries, something altogether different was happening in the trenches of the Western Front. The…
In an interview published this week at Catholic World Report, Cardinal Burke (who gave the Interview on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception) sounds like he’s feeling a bit feisty. Referencing a statement he made in 2004 about “always getting into trouble” after confronting pro-abortion Catholic presidential candidate John Kerry on the issue of receiving communion, the interviewer…
