Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
There is much talk nowadays about conscience, freedom of conscience, good and bad conscience, yet with little awareness, from what I can tell, of what conscience actually is. So, a definition: Conscience is an act, specifically an act of the practical intellect, judging the moral quality of an act that we have done, are doing,[…]
Well, another evening CBC episode, dedicated this time to the flying of the rainbow flag in various locales, the most controversial being the American embassy in Jamaica, where homosexuality is, shall we say, less than tolerated. We must clear the air here, and allow me a final distinction before we leave this subject alone for[…]
Well, that happened faster than even I thought. Already, there are calls to outlaw any and all ‘homopobia’ in any speech, writing, discourse or thought. As the narrative goes, the massacre in Orlando is mostly the fault of the Christians, and to some extent the Muslims, who came 600 years later. In fact, ‘homophobia’ has[…]
As you have likely read already, fifty people have been killed in an attack on an Orlando ‘gay’ nightclub, with fifty-three more injured, the largest individual mass-killing in U.S. history. The alleged assailant was a 29 year-old Muslim man, Omar Mateen, a security guard originally from New York (hence, his permission to own assault rifles),[…]
Alas for Captain America. I know he is a fictional character, but, even so, he has had a rough time of it of late. First, and the least of his problems, is the second-to-last film, Winter Soldier, about which I was going to write a review, until I heard the other two bits of news. […]

Basically, it runs as follows: If a skeptical person were to lay a bet on whether or not[…]
Today is the feast of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom, the patroness of our college here in Barry’s Bay, as well as Our Lady of Combermere, the patroness of Madonna House, situated in the town of Combermere just south of us. Our Lady Seat of Wisdom is the title of Mary as the ‘seat of[…]
Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it. So declared the famed historian George Santayana in 1863, and there is a lot of truth in this aphorism, upon which we would do well to reflect as we enter Canada’s own dark, euthanasia phase, with State-sanctioned murder now legal, an era which I[…]
(This article appeared in this revision on LifeSite News, based on a clarification they received from Dr. Vanier) At the end of May, Jean Vanier was interviewed on the CBC by Carol Off for the evening program As it Happens. As most of you are aware, Vanier is a widely revered figure, a ‘living saint’[…]
As of midnight tonight, as I write on this June 6th, the murder of adults will be legal in Canada. Of course, we have had the legal killing of the unborn since May 14, 1969, but the striking down of the laws prohibiting murder-suicide opens a new, wide gate to the culture of death for[…]
