Unarmed Peace
This is the first in a trio of articles on peace (and its absence) that WPI will be posting as we prepare to join Pope Leo in prayer for peace tomorrow. This article, which has been updated and modified, was...
How Did We Get Here?
No doubt many WPI readers have read President Trump’s Easter morning Truth Social post that read, “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran…Open the F****n’ Strait, you crazy b******s, or you’ll...
How We Need Pope Francis
The situation could not be more mysterious. Pope Francis is currently in Gemelli Hospital, trying to recover from the complex chronic bronchitis he has been suffering from. A slight improvement was followed by a bronchospasm. The Pope is following medical...
Feeling Alienated in the Church
Last month, Pope Francis Generation passed the first anniversary of the podcast and now we’re beginning Season Four! This felt like a good occasion to revisit our mission and pillars. A few weeks ago I was listening to another Catholic...
The Road to Moundsville

Viganò, QAnon, and the ‘Deep Church’ explained
In this edition of Peter’s Field Hospital, I’m joined by DW Lafferty and Nathan Turowsky. This week, we discuss the origins of some of the more obscure terms used by Archbishop Viganò in his letter to President Trump, and how...
The extremist reactionaries have all the oxygen they need
This evening, the President of the United States of America amplified a voice that is basically calling for the downfall of the entire Catholic hierarchy. So honored by Archbishop Viganò’s incredible letter to me. I hope everyone, religious or not,...
The Redpilled Pope of the Qatholic Church?
Archbishop Viganò’s June 6 open letter to US President Trump represents the inevitable public merging of Viganoite Catholicism with the MAGA movement. There is so much that can be said about that letter, but I want to focus on something...
