Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
I have an article published this morning on Crisis magazine, a reflection on the nature of authority. As is the custom, I will post it here after a few days, but feel free to peruse in the meantime. Speaking of authority, today is the memorial of the Protomartyrs of Rome, those untold numbers of early[…]
I have been asked to let readers know of and keep in prayer the case of Dr. Steve Tourloukis, father of a family, who is in the midst of taking the school system in Hamilton-Wentworth to court, to win the right to be made aware when his children are going to receive ‘education’ in sexual[…]
O God, who shall be like thee? Do not be silent, do not be restrained, O God (Ps. lxxxii). I admit that Shūsaku Endō’s Silence is enigmatic—rest assured that I will not be offering here a secret passage into solving its mystery. My objective, rather, is to offer a nuance to the reading (or viewing)[…]
Yes, the title and subtitle above taken from the Kids’ Bulletin website best describes a liturgy project that is being well received by parents, teachers, clergy, religious, and most important, the kids. The idea for the Kids’ Bulletin emerged in 2009 at a young children’s study group when Rose (Nolan) Langdon thought it would be[…]
A blessed solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul to all our readers, a venerable feast that goes back to the very origins of the Church, commemorating the two human pillars upon which the nascent Mystical Body was built, with Christ, of course, being the cornerstone.

As many saints, scholars and sundry others have discovered, reform is a difficult business. Reforming oneself is hard enough, in others, more difficult still, and in an entity as ancient and set-in-its ways as the Vatican, nearly impossible. Hence, we may surmise, the resignation of Libero Milone, a financial peritus hired two years ago to[…]
This past Saturday was the solemnity of the birth of Saint John the Baptist, a feast that commemorates the beginning of the end of the Old Testament dispensation, with its adumbrative figures of things to come, and the dawn of the New Covenant, of hope and joy. The joy of this day was multiplied at[…]
Nothing really changes much anymore. In contrast to popular assumptions, the pace of actual cultural innovation and renewal, even with regard to what undeservedly passed as such during the late 20th century, seems to have stalled, the flow having receded to a drip. And whatever actually emerges in the cultural sphere today is increasingly vapid[…]
As is the vogue nowadays, Catholic Insight will be presenting a new ‘look’, an updated and improved webpage, which will be launched, providentially enough, this Thursday, June 22nd, the feast of Saints Thomas More and John Fisher, two of the early martyrs (+1535) of what has come to be known, somewhat erroneously, as the Reformation.[…]
