Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
The fifty days between Easter and Pentecost are devoted to meditation on the mystery of the resurrection, which is the foundation of Christianity. Just how much that is so came home to me when I was called upon recently to give an address on the faith of the apostolic Church. To begin with, I realized[…]
Pope Francis has just released another Apostolic Exhortation, Gaudete et Exultate, which may be translated as ‘Rejoice and Be Glad’, from Matthew 5:12, a ‘call to holiness’ in today’s world. I will read the document over, and have a few words to say soon enough. LifeSite News claims that the Holy Father states that immigration[…]
So, what of hell? As you may have heard, and on which I wrote a few days ago, Pope Francis has allegedly (through the perhaps hazy recollection of Eugenio Scalfari after an untranscribed interview) denied that souls spend an eternity in ‘hell’, but are rather annihilated, cast into oblivion and cease to exist. We know[…]
On the note of suffering, even in the midst of this Easter joy, which in this vale of tears is still mingled with sorrow, at times most poignant and tragic: Last night, a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos, a junior hockey team from northern Saskatchewan, was T-boned by a tractor-trailer, killing 14, and injuring many[…]
We are now on the seventh day of the Easter Octave, eight days that are one long, glorious day, so this Friday is treated as a full solemnity, a Sunday, a day to rejoice and sing for joy, so once again, a blessed and joyous Easter to all our readers! The reason for elation is[…]
Russell Kirk (1918-1994) was an eminent author whose many diverse talents as a novelist, short story writer, and essayist were celebrated in Bradley J. Birzer’s superb biography, Russell Kirk: American Conservative. In his youth, Kirk’s intellectual development as a conservative was mainly influenced by the writings of Edmund Burke, Irving Babbitt, Paul Elmer More, Christopher[…]
A blessed and joyous Easter to all our readers! Christus surrexit vere, alleluia! I will have an article soon on the resurrection, but first, and in contrast to the joy of this octave of Sundays, to the continuing saga of the sad state of our government: At least one Liberal MPP, a certain smiling, happy[…]
A blessed and joyful Holy Saturday to all our readers, a day in which all the world is ‘at rest’, with Christ, our God, asleep in the tomb, awaiting His definitive resurrection, and triumph over death, once and for all. Paula Adamick has an insightful piece on the ‘incorruptibles’, no, not a new Marvel superhero[…]
“I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. John 11: 25-6. Easter 2018. Plaster may be falling on worshippers at St.Peter’s in Rome and Pope Francis may or may not have denied the existence of Hell[…]
Last week, a fire broke out in a mall, located in Kemerovo, a remote city in Siberia, on a day that happened to be the beginning of family holiday time, killing 64 people. The mall, replete with a bowling alley, trampoline, movie theatres, was filled with children, who comprised a majority of the victims, perishing[…]
