In recent days, we’ve seen multiple pieces of political commentary from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who has stated that, in his view, President Trump has a “decisive” mission “in the epochal confrontation that has been unfolding in recent months.” Viganò in fact went so far as to wax apocalyptic when he said: If Trump loses…
Much has been written in recent days about yet another Vatican scandal, this time involving Cardinal Becciu, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. Faced with accusations that still have to be proven, Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s response seemed to be dictated more by anger than by love of truth, more by a delusion…
INTERVIEW BY FRANCESCO BOEZI WITH ARCHBISHOP CARLO MARIA VIGANÒ 28 September 2020, Saint Wenceslaus, Duke and Martyr Archbishop Viganò, why did you write a letter in favor of President Trump? On August 14, 2011, Pope Benedict XVI let me know that it was his conviction that at that moment my providential position was the Nunciature…
On this episode of the podcast, Steve monologues again, this time diving into the first American Presidential debate, then pivoting to Pope Francis snubbing Cardinal Zen of Hong Kong as the Vatican’s INSANE Ostpolitik with Beijing continues, and finally looking at the question: is it possible to make an idol of the Catholic Church? Big…
As a teenager in the 90s, going to the March for Life, I was struck — and, frankly, disturbed — by the presence certain angry, usually white-haired men, who stood on the sides of Constitution Avenue with giant posters of horribly mutilated human fetuses, bellowing in the direction of the marchers that abortion is murder.…

Epistle: Apocalypse 1:1-15 Gospel: Matthew 18:1-10 O God, Who assign according to a wondrous order the duties of Angels and men, mercifully grant that our life on earth be guarded by those who continually stand in Your presence and minister to You in heaven. …
A couple of months back, I made the decision that 1P5 needed to get re-focused. I felt that were off course, and had fallen somewhat into the trap of being too repetitive, even stagnant. Statistically, I saw engagement with our articles falling off, traffic dropping, and got the general sense that we were no longer…
What does it take to get a young family to a traditional Latin Mass (TLM) where I live? Since the only Mass is at 8am on Sunday morning, it often takes a 2.5 hour drive the day before, a hotel room, a meal out, and a planned activity to keep the kids occupied. And for…
The title says it all, but here goes on a synopsis: It’s been a while since we’ve done a video, and today Steve drinks Irish whiskey while riffing on the fall of Cardinal Becciu, Francis embracing heresy, Infallibility, tribalism, and a bunch of reader questions on everything ranging from trad Cath media to how babies…
Very few priests have been willing to publicly oppose the champions of the unborn holocaust. Long gone are the days of St. Ambrose, who refused Emperor Theodosius Holy Communion and forced him to do penance for the massacre of the Thessalonians.
