Happy Thanksgiving to all our readers in the United States! You might have noticed that Pedro Gabriel hasn’t been writing as much for Where Peter Is lately, and one of the reasons is that he’s been hard at work on two books. Back in August, we announced his first fantasy novel in English,...
Today’s lineup of outspoken reactionary US Catholics priests with extremist, conspiratorial, and inflammatory messages (examples include Frs. Altman, Nix, Heilman, Pavone, Zuhlsdorf, Murray, Ripperger, Msgr. George Rutler, and Bishop Joseph Strickland), as well as their even more bombastic lay counterparts (Voris, Marshall, Parrott, Ruse, Arroyo, and many others) owe a great debt to...

In the late 1980s, I finally took the plunge and started graduate school on a part-time basis. I had survived my first year of teaching high school and was ready to be the student rather than the teacher. One of the first classes I took was “Psalms” with Fr. Carroll Stuhlmueller, C.P. My...
The long anticipated Bishops’ statement on the Eucharist has finally arrived, and the Catholic internet is already full of more-or-less predictable reactions.
