What is St. Peter’s List?
“Better to illuminate than merely to shine, to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate.”
- The Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas
St. Peter’s List proudly proclaims that The Catholic Life is the Good Life. From the beatific vision to robust trappist ales, SPL prepares daily lists that reflect the beauty and truth of the Catholic tradition. Holding the beloved Dumb Ox - St. Thomas Aquinas – as the community’s patron saint, SPL proudly draws from the Scholastic tradition and champions a faithful and intellectual articulation of the Catholic faith.
Most of all we seek to live the Good life, the Catholic life, and share that truth with others.
Long Live Pope Benedict XVI.
Vivat Papa.
We are Saint Peter’s List.
What is a Lister?
Not to be confused with a plow with a double moldboard, Listers are the dedicated followers of St. Peter’s List. Seeking to live the life of virtue, they pursue the riches of Christ and his Church. While smoking a pipe – in the spirit of Tolkien & the St. John Kemble – and savoring blessed Maronite wine, they are able to discuss the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, the tenants of classical political philosophy, and the merits of Thomism and the liberal arts tradition. Ultimately the Lister seeks to live the good life, the Catholic life, and share that wondrous existence with others.

Who is St. Peter’s List?
Carlos Urbina is a writer for SPL and is a native New Yorker and Catholic. Baptized as an infant into the Holy Catholic Church, and unfortunately grew up non-practicing. His first spark with religion came from attending a private Christian intermediate school in which all students needed to attend Chapel once a week as well as daily religion classes. When he was in High School he took Latin, Philosophy and World Religions where he cultivated his love for Religion and Philosophy. Although a non-practicing Catholic, he and his family were attending a major charismatic evangelical prosperity gospel organization which then lead him to Oral Roberts University. Once he arrived as a freshman he began studying Theology and Church History. After his first semester at the University he knew something was wrong with what he believed at the time. At the end of his freshman year he began attending Mass regularly and praying the Most Holy Rosary. He finally reverted back to the Holy Catholic Church and is in the process of finishing his degree in Philosophy. He is also currently in the process of discerning a vocation to the priesthood. Carlos owes his reversion to the Blessed Virgin Mary: “It was Her image that consoled me at my darkest hours, it was Her Rosary that saved me from damnation and heresy, it was a simple Ave Maria that brought me back to Her Son.”
