When ISIS Says They Want to Conquer Rome

What does ISIS mean when they issue repeated threats about conquering Rome? This is not, as some have speculated, a metaphorical term for America. It is not directed at some vague notion of Christianity. It is not about a larger invasion of the West. They mean this: To those who know, who understand the longstanding … Read more

The Chapel Veil and a Woman’s Rights

In my experience, it is impossible to talk about the Catholic custom of women wearing chapel veils at Mass without encountering judgment. Progressives will insist that the practice is an outdated custom to be tossed aside. Reactionaries will declare that women who do not cover their heads in Mass are sinning and that canon 1262 … Read more

This is What a Mess Looks Like

Pope Francis has told Catholics that he “wants a mess.” He instructed the assembled masses at World Youth Day in Brazil, “I want trouble in the dioceses! …“I want to see the church get closer to the people. I want to get rid of clericalism, the mundane, this closing ourselves off within ourselves, in our parishes, schools … Read more

Te Deum – A Catholic Thanksgiving Symposium

  For our readers in the United States, today is Thanksgiving –  a holiday set aside for us to take stock of our many blessings and to offer our gratitude to God.

By nature, 1P5 is a non-political website targeted at Catholics not just in the United … Read more

“O how I have loved thy law, O Lord! It is my meditation all through the day. Through thy commandment thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: for it is always with me.” Psalm 119: 97-98. From Evangelii Guadium, to his synod address, and everywhere in between, Pope Francis has returned again and again … Read more

Breaking: Imminent Terror Attack Threat on Southern US Border

As the publisher of OnePeterFive, I make the editorial decisions on which topics to cover to further our vision of Catholic restoration. When we launched on August 1st, I intended to run a brief series educational pieces on Islam after some initial collaboration with Andrew Bieszad.  I soon questioned this choice, however, finding myself concerned about taking a confrontational … Read more

Beheadings and the Passion of John the Baptist

  In his 2002 book “The New Persecuted”, Italian journalist Antonio Socci reported that two thirds of the Christians martyred in history were in the twentieth century.  Persecution of Christians by German National Socialism, atheistic Communism and radical Islam made the last century an Age of Martyrs. Sadly, it seems as though it was simply … Read more

USCCB Loses Its Head

It is a curious conceit of an obtuse generation that it believes itself to be committed to modernity, embodied by devotion to science and reason, and yet is so irrevocably immutable to evidence. The spiritual (but not religious) Mecca of modernity in the Catholic Church is the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, the headquarters of which … Read more
