Israel has the highest vaccination rate in the world, with a small, contained population, along very limited and controlled immigration, and hence provides an ideal place to study the ongoing efficacy and effects of the various covidian policies, not least the controversial ‘jab’. The only problem, at various levels, is that there is no real[…]
The House of Congress in America is voting today on a sweeping abortion law, -Our Lady of Ransom and Our Lady of Walsingham, no less – which would impose on all the States the ‘right’ to abortion at any time, for basically any reason, right through pregnancy, basically turning the U.S. into Canada, abortion-wise, but[…]
This 23rd of September is the liturgical feast day of St Pio of Pietrelcina. It was also twenty eight years ago that Jesus, through Padre Pio, showed me what he wanted from my life. For me the vocation to be a Franciscan Capuchin, following Jesus in the footsteps of St Francis, like Padre Pio did before[…]
I’m not sure how one might describe the decision of Archbishop Valery Vianneau, spiritual head of the diocese of Moncton in New Brunswick, to restrict entrance to any parishes and all diocesan property to the ‘double vaccinated’ – and this apparently includes not only Mass, but all the other sacraments, and even catechesis and any[…]

The godless say, ‘let us wait for the righteous one, who makes life inconvenient to us and opposes our actions; who reproaches us for sins against the law, and accuses us of sins against our training’ (Wis. 2:12). ⧾ As a bibliophile, a lover of books, with St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, I assert[…]
A vote for Trudeau and his Liberals is a vote for totalitarianism, and a pernicious version at that. Before we cast that ballot, dear reader, we should ponder, reflect and inform our conscience, before which we will have to stand before God, on a day we may well not expect. Just a few of the[…]
On September 17th, the Franciscan Order celebrates the Feast when our Seraphic Father Francis received the Stigmata of the Crucified Christ. The servant of God, the Italian Franciscan friar, poet and the author of three hagiographies concerning St Francis, the much famed Br Thomas of Celano (1185-1265), in The First Life of St Francis, part 2, chapter[…]
Flee idleness… for no one is more exposed to such temptations than he who has nothing to do. (Saint Robert Bellarmine, +1621)
