Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
I am known by many names like Beelzebul, Mephistopheles, or Satan. When I was created, God called me Lucifer, but I prefer–Prince of Darkness. He literally fired me before the Big Bang for my arrogance, selfishness, and disobedience and banished me forever to Earth after it came into existence. For this reason, I detest God[…]
The Ontario Legislature has just passed second reading on a bill to limit witness and protests outside abortion ‘clinics’ within a 50 metre ‘bubble zone’, as well as hospitals, pharmacies and the homes of abortion-providers, a euphemism for professional clinical and well-compensated assassins of unborn children. The sad, sad thing is that one expects this[…]
We celebrate today the feast of Saint Ignatius of Antioch (35-107 A.D.), one of the earliest Fathers of the Church, bishop of the same city as Saint Peter, the third in succession after the first Pope, before Peter himself, inspired by God, moved on to Rome, baptizing, if you will, that centre of pagan worship[…]
Patrick Brown, the erstwhile leader of the provincial ‘Conservative’ party, and I use those square quotes advisedly, has decreed that there are to be no ‘social conservative’ raised at the upcoming convention. Now, that might seem ambiguous, for any issue is by definition ‘social’, but here, in politico-speak, deviating from normal and logical English, it[…]
Charles E. Rice (1931-2015), a Thomist philosopher and professor of law at Notre Dame University, was a consistent conservative on matters political and theological. In 1993 he wrote a book that, if it had been published in 1963, might have had greater impact on stemming the rising tide of moral relativism and the nearly total[…]
A grace-filled hundredth anniversary of the final apparition at Fatima, as Our Lady appeared for last time to the three seers on this day in October, 1917, during some of the worst days of World War I, and just before the Spanish Influenza would kill millions across the globe. Unlike most flus, this on targeted[…]
The Second Vatican Council opened on this day in 1962, and ran until 1965, producing sixteen documents, four of them ‘constitutions’, which have profoundly shaped the Church in the modern world (the title of one of the aforementioned constitutions). This is also the day chosen by the Church to commemorate the pontiff who called and[…]
(On this Thanksgiving morning, you might enjoy this wonderful poem from a Canadian mother, on the philosophy, nay, the very theology, of washing dishes, a noble act filled with spiritual significance. I do not own a dishwasher, and hope never to. So on with the scrubbing, and a joyful Thanksgiving to all! Gratias Deo![…]
Today is the memorial of the Holy Rosary, a feast instituted by Pope Saint Pius V in commemoration of the Christian naval fleet in the victory at Lepanto on this day in 1571, vastly outnumbered against the Ottoman Turks, who had turned the Mediterranean into an Islamic lake. The Pope asked Christians to pray the[…]
David Warren has an interesting take on the Catalonian independence movement: I had never considered the role of women in pant-suits, who now seem to govern most Western countries, in all this revolution and social change business. Whatever Saint Paul meant by that mysterious admonition to Timothy, that he would not have a woman have[…]
