Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
My most memorable Remembrance Day experience took place eight years ago. It was my first semester out of Canada (I think it’s difficult to be truly patriotic until one has lived in another country, but I digress), which was exciting but also challenging in many ways. One of the most difficult aspects was that I[…]
The character of the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland has its origin in the fact that in the 1800s hat makers used mercury nitrate in the transforming of animal furs into felt hats. Eventually it became observed that hat makers exhibited mental and physical instability. “Mad as a hatter” was an expression[…]
Stars, so bright, you only come out at night. Sun, you only come out in the day and everyday. God created them for his plan. To enjoy in the day, and wish on at night. Thank you God for beautiful things, that show how grand you are in everything.
For more than a century now, the international communist movement has been hiding and sanitizing its own history while subjecting its opponents to relentless slander. Its ultimate goal has never changed — to communize the entire world by radically overturning the social order and foundations of Christian civilization and supplanting it with communism’s false religion.[…]
A blessed solemnity of All Saints’ to all our readers, a feast that goes back to the earliest days of the Church, as a commemoration of all the countless martyrs who could not have their own particular day. Eventually, this was extended to include all those who had lived holy lives, unknown to the broader[…]
I read recently that Pope John Paul II had a vision of Europe being taken over by Islam, the continent’s once-vibrant Christianity gone silent and dark, entombed and cobwebbed. With whatever grain of salt one takes such stories (such as another one I heard years ago, that ‘Quebec would save North America’, alas) the prophecy[…]

As the United States mid-term elections loom, peruse Carl Sundell’s take on Robert Bork, who went through his own gruelling Kavanaugh-esdque process three decades ago, after being nominated to the Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan in what seem like the far more innocent days of 1987. Unlike Kavanaugh, whose bid recently survived a similar process,[…]
Robert Heron Bork (1927 –2012) was a judge and law professor who was nominated by President Ronald Reagan to the Supreme Court in 1987. Reagan’s motive for nominating Bork was clear-cut. Bork was an originalist (one who is loyal to the original text of the Constitution) and he opposed the Court’s modern tendency to enact[…]
“Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.” ― Leo Tolstoy If you peruse the Showbiz section of any daily newspaper, you’ll invariably find an item about yet another celebrity coping with the trauma of his or her failed marriage or partnership while embarking on the quest for love yet[…]
