Britain stumbles into another election, this one in the wake of yet-another terrorist attack on the Vigil of Pentecost, with three Islamic jihadis mowing down pedestrians strolling down iconic London Bridge, before stabbing and slicing dozens in the name of Allah, killing 7 and seriously injuring 48. It seems three determined men who think they[…]
Saint Boniface, bishop and martyr, was martyred by a pagan band on this day, June 5, 754. His life was one of tireless struggle to convert the Frisians, early inhabitants of Germania, steeped in paganism and idolatry. The famous story of his felling of the Donar Oak, which the pagan Frisians held so sacred that[…]
A very joyful, blessed and grace-filled Pentecost to all of our readers… In the midst of all the travails of this world, let us entrust ourselves to the Holy Spirit, Who moves all of us to our ultimate end, eternal beatitude in communion with the Holy Trinity. We will only then see how all things[…]
I for one find it encouraging news that Donald Trump has pulled the United States out of the Paris Accord, whose official term is the Paris Agreement, which falls under the United Nations Convention on Climate Change, adopted by ‘consensus’ on December 12, 2015. Of course, such consensus is bestowed by the enlightened leaders, and[…]
Father Joseph Koterski, S.J. One of the distinctive traits of each letter by Saint Paul is his pattern of emphasizing some significant aspect of the mystery of Christ and showing the correlative trait that ought to be found in His followers. In the Letter to the Philippians his theme is Christ’s humility and our need[…]
Wonder Woman has opened in theatres. I will have more to say on this feminist icon, and what it means for modern masculinity, or what’s left of it. The film does seem to be garnering favorable reviews, even if philosophically subversive, or perhaps because so. I wonder, if Hollywood just wants cash, for my thoughts[…]
A blessed feast of the Visitation to one and all! I have always considered this a pro-life feast, when two saintly women, each bearing two very holy children, in fact, the holiest, met in a joyful and spiritual reunion. As Pope Benedict has pointed out, the New Covenant begins with the declaration Kaire!, Rejoice!, as[…]
Justin Trudeau has finally met the Pope, in theory, his spiritual head, to whom he (Mr. Trudeau, that is) owes obedience and respect. One would not have thought so, as John Robson points out, as Trudeau sauntered in to lecture the Holy Father, demanding, or perhaps requesting, yet another ‘apology’ for the Residential School crisis.[…]
ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI Lourdes Grotto, Vatican Gardens Monday, 31 May 2010 Dear Brothers and Sisters, I join you with great joy at the end of this traditional prayer meeting which concludes the month of May in the Vatican. With reference to today’s liturgy, let us contemplate Mary Most Holy in the[…]
Andrew Scheer has won the election as leader of the federal Conservative Party, thankfully and rather surprisingly narrowly edging out front-runner Maxime Bernier, who would have been another bland pseudo-conservative disaster, stumbling around from one policy to the next (hello, Mr. Patrick ‘who am I and what do I stand for?’ Brown). Mr. Scheer, a[…]
