Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
David Bentley Hart has recently suggested that the Eastern Orthodox practice of divorce is more coherent and compassionate than the Catholic practice of annulment. The key premise of his argument is that divorce, though always sad, is sometimes the best option for couples; sometimes even for couples whose marriages the Catholic Church considers indissoluble. As[…]
Who has made you lord and master of everything on earth? In short, who has endowed you with all that makes man superior to all other living creatures? Is it not God who asks you now in your turn to show yourself generous above all other creatures and for the sake of all other creatures?[…]
I’m not sure if that anti-rape dancing video we posted recently was a parody, but the influx of migrants does not seem to be.

What more need be said, for the visuals speak a thousand words? Vanguards of police standing mutely and idly by, while ‘protesters’ – armed terrorists, more to the point – light fires on public train tracks, blocking trains, and even, it seems, trying to set them alight: WATCH: Anti-pipeline protestors are resorting to extreme lengths,[…]
The Lord measures out perfection neither by the multitude nor the magnitude of our deeds, but by the manner in which we perform them. (Saint John of the Cross)
‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only Him’ (Mt. 4:11). On Ash Wednesday we began the observance of the holy season of Lent with the imposition of blessed ashes, an external sign of our interior resolve to undertake Lenten penance. By the solemn forty days of Lent the Church unites herself each year to[…]
