Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
(by John Baldino) Many of the teachings, traditions and practices of the Catholic Church are in contrast to the beliefs, habits and norms of modern American society. The Church’s teachings are rooted in sacred scripture, philosophy, and theology developed over the past 2000 years. While these teachings have evolved with science and society, many of[…]
Not one MPP, yes, nary a one of our elected representatives in provincial parliament, not on Conservative, not even the much-vaunted Sam Oosterhoof and all the rest of the Conservatives, raised a voice of protest, even a token one, against the recent provincial motion M-37 condemning, you guessed it, Islamophobia. Emotionally-driven legislating is never good[…]
Donald Trump and his team are complaining of being stymied in his presidential efforts, to which I will return in a moment. Whatever one thinks of any leader’s policies and orders, it is probably a good thing that neither a president nor a prime minister, nor even a king, can do whatever they want, a la[…]
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Monsignor Ambrose Pick, pastor of Saint Hedwig’s church from 1978-2002 (but was a priest for many years before that), after which he enjoyed a quasi-retirement, but would joke that he was working harder than ever. Monsignor Pick was a great friend to Our Lady Seat of[…]
A rather stark and sobering teaching of the Church is that everyone of adult age on the face of this good Earth, and that means all who can discern between good and evil (which occurs sometime soon after the dawn of reason), is either in a state of grace or in a state of mortal[…]
I suppose it is requisite to wish everyone a happy ‘Family Day’, even though my reservations with this holiday, which is not really a ‘holy day’, run deep. Imposed top-down by the heavy-handed and intrusive government of Dalton McGuinty, the pre-Wynne premier, many of whose socialist and immoral policies, the ineptitude of whose government, the[…]

Pondering the post-Valentine blues, here is a view of two opposite sides of culture that would have very difficult time cohabiting, so to speak. In Pakistan a mob of enraged men (there seem a lot of them in that part of the world) stormed a police station, beating and shooting to death a young couple. […]
Tomorrow, our noble Parliament will vote on Motion M103, which is a motion to get into a motion laws forbidding ‘Islamaphobia’. Said Motion is put forward by Iqra Khalid, a native of Pakistan. I know not her motives, but other commentators are wondering, why Islam? There are far more reported ‘hate crimes’ against Jews. But,[…]
This weekend is OLSW’s annual theatrical production, this year a new take on Shakespeare’s immortal 1606 play Macbeth. Be sure not to miss this event, which is always a crowd-pleaser! Performances will take place in St. Hedwig Catholic Church Hall at 35 Karol Wojtyla Square in Barry’s Bay on Friday and Saturday, 10 and 11[…]
