I begin with a brief word on what this article is not. It is not a detailed synopsis of the content of Dr. Peter Kwasniewski’s newest book. Nor is it a summary of the book’s potent argumentation. Yes, those points matter. But sometimes it is impossible to get past the raw and transforming impact that…
From my perspective, it seems that Traditional Catholicism is booming in Europe and the USA. Masses filled with young parishioners (and Priests) are offered every Sunday in many places and even some Bishops offer the Pre-Conciliar Mass from time to time. The future of the Church seems bright (at least in the long run) but…
Editor’s note: we welcome all submissions which seek to rationally analyze the COVID crisis and find a way to resist the Marxists. Please see the recently founded Holy Faith Foundation which helps Catholics financially who are resisting the mandate and suffering a loss of income. “Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.” (John…
They say that a committee is a place where a horse goes to become a giraffe. That being said, the 2021 Fall General Assembly of the USCCB took place from November 16th through November 18th in Baltimore, MD leaving a horse in the competent hands of more than 200 American bishops. As the prelates gathered…
The horrifying news from France in early October that some 3,000 priests sexually abused 330,000 children over 70 years points to another scandal within the Church: too many priests who have little fear of God and scant regard for core Catholic teachings. The perpetrators’ behavior is not typical of those who believe in the Catholic…
During his weekly audience on November 3rd, the Holy Father emphasized that fraternal correction must always be guided by love. “The supreme rule regarding fraternal correction is love: to want the good of our brothers and sisters,” the pope said. He’s right. Perhaps the November 3rd audience should indeed serve as an opportunity for us…
Over the weekend the news broke that a prominent member of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter was arrested for apparent heinous crimes against the moral law. Since the investigation is still under way, I see no need to dwell on the particulars of this case here. Similar accusations have been made against clergy of…
International travel regulations are heading in a direction that may mean individuals won’t be able to enter or leave a given country without proof of having received the COVID shot. If that comes true, it could imperil the future of the Catholic faith. Dr. Peter Kwasniewksi recently penned an article for OnePeterFive arguing that papally-unapproved…
Last month a couple of the nuns of the Fairfield Carmel were seen attending Mass at the FSSP apostolate, our parish in the ancient centre, Santissima Trinita dei Pellegrini. These are the sisters who have become famous throughout the Traditional Catholic world for their attempt to live the Teresian Discalced Carmelite life in the most…
This is the question I get asked the most by Catholics unfamiliar with cancel culture. To be honest, I find it surprising amidst the rash of cancelation in various forms that there is still so much confusion – especially after so many bishops closed churches due to Covid and made it seem as if the…
Much ink has been spilled over the topic of lockdowns and the coronavirus, and the past 19 months have been some of the strangest in recent history. This time has been extremely difficult for many, especially for those who have had their business shuttered by unjust and indefinite closures and restrictions. In addition, the continual…
