Campy Dance of the Saints - Catholic Insight

A grace-filled First Sunday of Lent – to all our readers, and we hope you enjoy the Lenten reflections.

As well, a joyous Leap Year to one and all, the only time when, in Ireland, so custom goes, a woman may propose to a man, a custom that may soon be outlawed in our transgendered world – or, at least, lose its significance. Leap years were standardized in their modern form with the calendar instituted by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, in modifying the earlier Julian version.

Under our tragic – in more ways than one – Trudeau government has more or less abolished the euthanasia restrictions put in place when the macabre practice was first legalized. There are still some paper-thin safeguards, but more or less anyone now with a ‘serious illness’ can be offed the same day he asks – and if you have given an ‘advanced directive’, you can still be murdered even if you later apparently change your mind. I will have more to say on this soon.

Meanwhile, as we kill ourselves, thousands of migrants are streaming across the border from Turkey to Greece – mainly healthy young men, at least from what footage we have – as Prime Minister Tayyip Eroogan, whose nation has been holding them back, opened the floodgates. Some say 18,000 have already stormed over, and there are a lot more behind them.

In Jean Raspail’s 1973 novel, Camp of the Saints, the Third World decided, en masse, to move on into the First World – that is, Europe, resulting in the destruction of Western civilization. The whole world, in other words, becomes the Third World. Although the novel has been condemned as ‘racist’ and ‘xenophobic’, the question we might ask is, why would it not? That is, the First World become the Third, as already seems to be transpiring before our eyes, devoid not only of the rule of law, but of our customs, our chivalry, our manners, our religion, or at least what is left of all of them.

And what is left, alas, is not much, and the fact we are so weak is why others are rushing in, to full the void, one that is not just demographic and spatial – birth rates are plummeting to near-zero level – but spiritual and existential. We no long know who or why we are.

Meanwhile, do the people in this video really think that this will stop persons of a male persuasion from a certain cultural and religion milieu from grabbing, groping and even raping them – as seems to be the ‘custom’ of certain elements of a certain religion? And why are there two men in the back? I don’t think they’re in proximate or remote danger of any excitable young ethnic men violating their ‘no-no’ zone – the same for the granny on the left, and not sure about the leader in front. That leaves the blond on the right, the only one who looks still in her reproductive years – her ilk are the ones on the forefront of the ‘migrant rape crisis’. The Camp of the Saints may have been presciently xenophobic, but with good cause.

Warning: Once this video has been seen, especially with the volume up, it can neither be unseen, nor unheard. Who knows? In this merry Me-Too movement, the dance may catch on:

My home town has launched a 2,5 million euro project called Safe Oulu that aims at combating the (migrant) rape crisis.

This is where the money goes.

Kill me now.

At least, be kind and lobotomize me so I won't have to live with this image in my head. pic.twitter.com/NuAPAS1UQF

A Closed, Unsustainable, Descending Loop

As a follow-up to my thoughts on Payette’s payout, here be a stark image of where are here in Canada. As the graph shows in, well, graphic terms, since 2025, the public sector has contributed to 95.5% of economic growth. The private sector – which funds the public sector, or is supposed to – has[…]Continue reading→

Remembering Father Alphonse de Valk

(Today marks the sixth anniversary of the death of Father Alphonse de Valk, C.S.B., a faithful, courageous and indefatigable Basilian priest, pro-life-and-family apostle, and the founder of Catholic Insight magazine. Here is what we wrote those on his entering into eternity five years ago, as we continue to remember him in our prayers and thoughts)[…]Continue reading→

Presidential Pardon of Weronika Krawczyk

As a good news, follow-up to our story from Poland, of the persecution of Weronika Krawczyk for her pro-life views, we heard that she has been granted a presidential pardon. One might still wonder why one needs a presidential pardon for simply holding the long-held belief that the child within the womb is a child,[…]Continue reading→

Pope Leo and a Rosary for Peace

Pope Leo XIV has asked Catholics across the world to join him in a Rosary for peace today, at 18:00 Rome time (6 pm), which would be noon from where I write (EST). If you are able, whether at that time or another, and in whatever way you pray, to join in intercession with the[…]Continue reading→

Payette’s Payout

I was glancing through some headlines, and noticed a mention of Julie Payette – engineer and astronaut and sometime the Queen’s representative in Canada – which brought back vague memories. She was appointed Governor-General by Justin Trudeau in 2017. Ms. Payette resigned in 2021, amidst claims that she created a ‘toxic work environment’, with allegations[…]Continue reading→

Saint Stanislaus of Szczepanów

We celebrate Saint Stanislaus today (+ April 11, 1079), in light of this Easter Octave, a bishop and martyr who accepted the episcopacy only at the direct order of Pope Alexander II. He proved a wise and courageous leader of his flock, put to death by his own king, Boleslaus, for rebuking the monarch’s ‘immoral[…]Continue reading→

Weronika Krawczyk and Injustice in Poland

Catholic Action in Poland has issued a formal statement appealing to the President of the Republic of Poland to pardon Weronika Krawczyk—convicted for warning other women against an abortion-performing gynaecologist. Catholic Action (AK) emphasizes that no apology is owed to a doctor who has performed numerous abortions and proposed others; furthermore, the organization considers the[…]Continue reading→

Three Easter Musical Gems: Bach, Palestrina and Byrd

A very blessed and glorious Easter! Christus surrexit vere, alleluia! As we begin this Easter Octave with the great Solemnity of Easter, music to lift the soul would be one of Bach’s Easter cantatas, composed during his time at Leipzig in the early 1700’s, for the six Sundays of this festive season, leading up to[…]Continue reading→

Saint Isidore of Seville, the Internet and Industriousness

Today, April 4th, muted this year by Holy Saturday, is the commemoration of Saint Isidore of Seville (560-636) a bishop and doctor of the Church during a tumultuous age, when civilization was crumbling, coming apart at its very seams, which may sound sort of au courant. Then again, the form of this world has always[…]Continue reading→

An Ancient Homily for Holy Saturday

The time between Good Friday and Easter Sunday is one of waiting, in silence, as the world wonders – anticipates – what will happen, after the death of Christ. We re-live this time each year in the anamnesis of our liturgy, and in turn look forward to the glorious re-creation of all things at the[…]Continue reading→
