Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
The proposed vaccine passports, due to be unveiled today, have been put on hold, purportedly because they were so ‘far reaching’ that Premier Ford, after saying there he would not implement such passports which would ‘split society’, has now put them on hold. Now is the time to send a message to Premier Ford’s office[…]
For an excellent summary of where things stand in Canada and elsewhere across the world, as ‘vaxx-passes’ make their inauspicious advent, limiting or forbidding access to schools, employment and social venues, see this open letter from the doughty Douglas Farrow. We are entering into uncharted totalitarian waters in this fair Dominion, in which, as Dr.[…]
‘Listen to me, all of you, and understand there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile them, but things that come out of a person are what defile them. For it is from the human heart that evil intentions come’ (Mk. 7:20). ⧾ The lessons of the Mass of the 22nd[…]
