A Letter to Trads from a Byzantine Thomist
Above: an Eastern Catholic iconostasis. I would like to thank Timothy Flanders for inviting me to write a kind of exhortation letter here at OnePeterFive. I’ve been considering writing something like this for some time, but have hesitated concerning the content and voice to take for such an article. I ask the reader to receive […]
5 Steps to Unite the Clans for the Sacred Heart in June
America is at war. Our once great and prosperous land now finds itself on the brink of moral and societal collapse. On every side, the faithful Catholic finds himself surrounded by wickedness. Whether it be the immorality that companies and politicians try to push on our society, or whether it be the sin that fills […]
Forgotten Customs of Saints Peter and Paul
Editor’s note: as we discussed last week in our post on June, this month all of our lay sodalities and efforts here at OnePeterFive have a confluence of purpose, not the least of which begins today with one of the most ancient customs of June: the Apostles Fast.

Trinity Sunday: Do I hear an “Amen!”?
Context is king in these weekly columns. Context enriches our encounter with the living Word of God during the sacred liturgical action.

The Glory of the Christian Rainbow and the Satanism of Its Inversion
Above: Prayer of thanksgiving after leaving Noah’s Ark, by Domenico Morelli (4 August 1823 – 13 August 1901).

The Great Tradition of Christian Pilgrimage
How beautiful are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord (Psalm 83:1). These beautiful words were prayed by the Israelites as they made their annual pilgrimage to the Temple of Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover. The concept of a pilgrimage is one that […]
The Great Re-Set: Freedom of Religion and the Law
Above: the Middlesex Guildhall which houses the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom and Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The Catholic Church has a long and honourable tradition of recognising freedom of religion and conscience for minorities provided they do not threaten the safety and security of the State.[1] Paragraphs 2108 and 2109, of […]
