As we have analysed at OnePeterFive, the Synod on Synodality has all the markings of the “dream” of Cardinal Martini and the St. Gallen Mafia. If this is true of the latest synod-in-the-works, it holds true a fortiori of the German “Synodal Way,” which has openly supported heresy, provoking a rebuke from over 100 worldwide…
One year ago today, the Roman Pontiff attempted again to suppress the Apostolic Roman Rite. The first attempt of this nature was done by Pope Paul VI in 1969. At this point we can assess some of the fall out and compare this attempt to the first attempt. Bishops’ Response: Night and Day In the…
After the landmark overturning of Roe v. Wade, heretic president Joe Biden signed an executive order last Friday promoting child sacrifice with the website ReproductiveRights.gov. The Register reported a comment from the Holy Father yesterday: During an interview with Univisión and Televisa broadcast July 12, Pope Francis spoke about abortion and Biden’s position, after being…
The Roman Pontiff has finally “commented” on the landmark Dobbs case against the unborn holocaust in the American Empire (and indirectly, the world). Asked about the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling establishing a woman’s right to have an abortion, Francis said he respected the decision but did not have…
We see in the Latin liturgical tradition an interesting thing: with the major feast on June 29 as well as the minor feasts, both apostles are always commemorated[1]. If the feast is chiefly of the Prince of the Apostles, then St. Paul is also commemorated with an additional collect and vice versa[2]. Thus also today…
Above: The Temptation of Christ on the Mountain by Duccio di Buoninsegna (1255-1319). The reason that the fallen angels hate us is because of envy. They have been cast down from their celestial thrones and now their places in the heavenly hierarchy are given to those destined to eternal life. They despise above all the…
Above: the celebrated heretic, Hans Küng (1928-2021). One can only hope and pray that the celebrations for him have not continued for eternity in the fires of hell. Requiescat in pace. Ave Maria. In our last essay we discussed some of the trends of decline in theology before Vatican II. These were the aspects that produced…
If we want to address the problem of hyperüberultramontanism, we are going to need to talk about a decline in theology that occurred before Vatican II. We need to understand the roots of these issues and how they developed in our history of Catholicism in modernity. To do that, we have to cover some basics…
When we released our editorial stance last year we identified one error above others which seems to be at the root of our current crisis: the false spirit of Vatican I. This false spirit – meaning a false interpretation of said council – goes by many names: hyperpapalism, neo-ultramontanism, extreme ultramontanism or my personal favourite,…
As we reported last week, Alcuin Reid recently made the difficult decision to disobey his own bishop in order to obey God in conscience. As I argued in that post, it is our Christian duty to give Dom Alcuin Reid – and his bishop – the judgment of charity. Some readers may not be too…
Dear OnePeterFive donors, supporters and readers, I want to thank all the donors and supporters who gave to our spring fundraiser last month. We came up short of our goal, but we hope that in the coming months we can continue to grow and rebuild our monthly supporter base. Please consider becoming a monthly donor…
