Editor’s Note: OnePeterFive has republished today and yesterday under the name of their author a pair of articles that first appeared in 2015 under the pseudonym Benedict Constable. With the progressive envelope-pushing discussion in the Church of whether women might be “deacons” or “priests” (in spite of repeated statements to the contrary by the Magisterium),…
This morning I had to make a long round trip drive out of town, and I wanted to listen to something edifying to pass the time. What I ultimately decided on was the audio-only podcast edition of Episode 38 of Rules for Retrogrades: “Divorce – the Ultimate Attack on the Family with Leila Miller.” For those…
It’s on special days like today that I notice most sharply the vast difference between the LEX ORANDI of the old and the new liturgies. I have prepared a chart comparing the blessing of ashes in the Tridentine rite with its parallel in the Novus Ordo. (Click Image to Enlarge. Or download PDF version here.)…
Robert Mickens — a man notorious for his dislike of Pope Benedict XVI, so keep that in mind going in — has a fascinating piece (paywall) at La Croix about the Gänswein sidelining. Mickens says that Francis was stuck with Gänswein by Benedict, who didn’t see Bergoglio coming, and had, just before his abdication, elevated…
A couple weeks ago, I posted my interview with Joe and Mike at Restoring the Faith Media on their new show, Full Disclosure. RTF is yet another Catholic apostolate making great video content, so if you haven’t checked out their channel yet, you should. Today, I wanted to share another one of their interviews, this…
Mike and Joe over at the (relatively new) apostolate called Restoring the Faith Media (check out their YouTube channel right here) interviewed me a couple weeks ago for their show, Full Disclosure, which just launched this week. So far, they’ve also got an interview with Michael Warren Davis, editor of Crisis Magazine, up on the…
Earlier today, I wrote about the move by the German bishops to re-examine Church teaching on human sexuality — particularly pertaining to the questions of homosexual acts and contraception. In that same analysis, I mentioned some early reporting on a 300-page study commissioned by Pope Francis and published by the Pontifical Biblical Commission (PBC) on…
As I sit down to write this today, I feel my brain grasping to make sense of what I’m seeing. I literally don’t know how to process or adequately explain what appears to be a full court press to push acceptance of homosexuality by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church herself. But I would be…
Edward Feser is one of the relatively unsung heroes of modern Catholic thought. He’s been absolutely unflinching in his defense of the moral liceity of the death penalty in Catholic teaching, and has even co-authored a book on the topic. I’ve seen him write very compelling essays on other issues as well. He has a…
Many of you are followers of Dr. Taylor Marshall’s podcast series on YouTube, and are familiar with Tim Gordon, who co-hosted with Marshall for the first year of the show. What all of you may not know is that Tim and his brother Dave (who have both written articles for 1P5 – see here and…
You may have already seen the podcast interview I did with my friend and 1P5 contributor Stefanie Nicholas earlier this year, during which we discussed her conversion story, in which I am humbled to have been given the grace to play a small part. Last month, Stefanie gave an even more in-depth account of her…
