Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
The Presentation of the Virgin Mary is a mirror image, if you will, of the future Presentation of her Son in the Temple, both signifying a dedication to God from the earliest age, a noble and pious tradition in the Jewish and, later, Catholic religion. The account of Our Lady’s dedication is recounted in the[…]
A very hearty and joyous congratulations to Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth on their platinum anniversary, a milestone very few reach. To live to three score and ten is certainly possible with modern medicine, diet and a tad of exercise, but to be married for seventy years, at least to the same person, well, one[…]
A correction to a recent post, in which I mentioned that the Canadian Military was hosting a job fair for transgenders. Well, it turns out that a transgender individual, whose sex I will not mention for fear of getting it ‘wrong’, is hosting said job fair, and has invited the Canadian Military. The comments from[…]
A good wife, who can find? She is far more precious than jewels… Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. (cf., Proverbs 31) As I write, it is the evening of the memorial of Saint Margaret of Scotland (+1090), the English wife of the[…]

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer. Jim Carrey It’s as if an atomic bomb has been detonated at the corner of Hollywood and Vine, replete with a mushroom cloud and ongoing fallout. Interesting timing too. Mere days[…]
Patron saint of scientists, Albert the Great (1200-1280), scholar, Dominican, bishop, and Doctor of the Church, was considered the most learned man of his century, with an encyclopedic knowledge of just about everything under the Sun, in an age when one could truly be a renaissance man before the inaccurately-named era of the same name.[…]
As an addendum to my recent reflections on the sexual scandals inundating Hollywood, I highly recommend this read from psychiatrist Theodore Dalrymple on the effects of the sexual revolution, and libertinism, on the front lines of society. To say the least, it is not pretty.
In a radio address on October 26, 1946, with the horrors of World War II still fresh (if such be the term) in the minds of all, Pius XII declared that perhaps the greatest sin in the world today is that men have begun to lose the sense of sin. The Holy Father knew what[…]
On the sad state of our educational system, at all levels, one could wax eloquent for many hours. We have the well-compensated teachers at our colleges, having now been on strike for weeks, using the students as pawns in their game of monetary poker. Such is the effect of a state-funded system, rife with endemic[…]
