About Where Peter Is

Where Peter Is was founded in 2018 by a group of faithful Catholics committed to defending the integrity of the Church and the papacy during a time of increasing division and misinformation. From the beginning, our mission has been to bear witness to the truth about Pope Francis and his teachings—especially in the face of hostility and distortion from within the Church itself.

Throughout his pontificate, Pope Francis was subjected to relentless criticism, with some accusing him of spreading confusion or even doctrinal error. We sought to counter these harmful narratives by offering faithful, thoughtful, and informed articles in line with his words and actions. Our goal was—and remains—to foster unity, fidelity, and understanding in the Church, centered on the Petrine ministry.

After seven years of promoting the mission and vision of our beloved Pope Francis, we mourned his passing on April 21, 2025. He left behind a legacy of mercy, reform, synodality, and pastoral care that has transformed the Church and inspired countless hearts around the world.

On May 8, 2025, the Church (and this website) entered a new chapter with the election of Pope Leo XIV. We are now devoted to supporting and amplifying the message of our new missionary pope and Successor of Peter. With his deep pastoral experience, global perspective, and commitment to healing divisions, Pope Leo brings a steady and faithful hand to the helm of the Church in turbulent times.

In every age, the Lord calls shepherds to guide His people. As long as Peter speaks, we will listen—and help share his ministry with the world.

Where Peter is, there is the Church.

“How many important things unite us! If we really believe in the abundantly free working of the Holy Spirit, we can learn so much from one another! It is not just about being better informed about others, but rather about reaping what the Spirit has sown in them, which is also meant to be a gift for us.”

— Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium 246
