Father Martin Hilbert, C.O. has written a remarkable book. His ‘The Catholic Case for Intelligent Design’, an argument for seeing God’s handiwork and providence in the order and beauty of creation, covers a lot of ground: evolution, genetics, anthropology, and, of course, philosophy and theology. The overarching purpose of the book is to ally faith[…]
(What follows is an open letter to the editor of various local papers where I live, and I thought it would do for a wider audience, with the author’s permission. What’s in the works here, is in the works across Canada, and will only get worse should Mark Carney ever become Prime Minster. I’ve wondered[…]
February 25th is the liturgical memorial of Blessed Maria Adeodata Pisani. This Italian born Benedictine nun surely has left a great legacy that needs to be appreciated both in Malta and beyond its shores.

The 22nd of February is the Feast of the Chair of St Peter. St Peter’s Chair, or “Cathedra” brings with it the particular mission Jesus entrusted to Peter himself. The Matthean Gospel reveals to us the essence of this feast when in today’s Gospel we read Jesus’ words to Peter: And I tell you, you are[…]
Part 1 of this reflection on the recently released Vatican document, Antiqua et Nova (AN), focused on the first half of the document, which provides a clear understanding on the relationship between artificial intelligence and human intelligence. Part 2 will now focus on the second half of Antiqua et Nova, which itself focuses on the[…]
Today in the New Rite is the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter at Rome, celebrated in the Old Rite as the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter at Antioch (the Old Rite celebrates the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter at Rome on January 18), and in the spirit of this[…]
Many suspected as much, that the mRNA ‘vaccines’ were not quite as ‘safe and effective’, as they were touted to be, as the sign still says at the front of our local care home here.
