Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
My most memorable Remembrance Day experience took place eight years ago. It was my first semester out of Canada (I think it’s difficult to be truly patriotic until one has lived in another country, but I digress), which was exciting but also challenging in many ways. One of the most difficult aspects was that I[…]
We should pause and reflect – and pray, a verb which you will not often hear on the CBC – as we commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the end of what was called at the time the ‘War to End All Wars’, the ‘Great War’. It was only after the even greater conflict two decades[…]
The character of the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland has its origin in the fact that in the 1800s hat makers used mercury nitrate in the transforming of animal furs into felt hats. Eventually it became observed that hat makers exhibited mental and physical instability. “Mad as a hatter” was an expression[…]
Pope Saint Leo the Great, who reigned from 440 until his death on this day in 461, was known for many things. With his wise mind, his magnanimous soul and zeal, he helped solidify the papacy, and the role of the ‘Holy Father’, which would be further clarified by subsequent pontiffs, not least Gregory, also[…]
A blessed feast of the Dedication of the Cathedral of Saint John Lateran to all our readers! The highest-ranking church in all Christendom, the principal church of the Pope, it is the mother of all other churches.

Mark Steyn makes a good point that the[…]
Stars, so bright, you only come out at night. Sun, you only come out in the day and everyday. God created them for his plan. To enjoy in the day, and wish on at night. Thank you God for beautiful things, that show how grand you are in everything.
Remember, remember the fifth of November. Yes, it is Guy Fawkes Day, when Brits of a certain religious persuasion celebrate – or used to anyway when religion was more to the fore in people’s minds – the foiling of the ‘Gunpowder Plot’ of 1605, when a group of Catholic conspirators planned to blow up the[…]
It took nearly a hundred years – in galactic terms, I admit, a twinkle of an eye – but astronomers have now officially re-named the ‘Big Bang’ Theory, the ‘Hubble-Lemaitre’ theory. Edwin Hubble was the famed American astronomer who noticed that galaxies are receding from us, in fact everything receding from everything else in the[…]
For more than a century now, the international communist movement has been hiding and sanitizing its own history while subjecting its opponents to relentless slander.
