Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
Paula Adamick has a take on a powerful new book by Jennifer Roback Morse, ‘The Sexual State’, outlining the government’s role in aiding, abetting and outright fostering the revolution of our morals and customs in the sexual and marital sphere, and almost all for the worse. The transvaluation of all values, as Nietzsche put it,[…]
Thomas Merton (1915-1968) was a Trappist monk, theologian, poet, mystic, and the author of more than seventy books. Having lost both parents by the time he was fourteen, his youth from then on was ill directed and sometimes chaotic. He declared himself an agnostic in his late teen years and proudly declared, “I believe in[…]

When I was a child, I thought like a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things… These words of Saint Paul haunt me, for I still enjoy a number of ‘childish’ things, which may in one sense be defined as ‘mentally numbing’ for an adult, like watching Teletubbies or Sesame[…]
Father Callam’s take on Christ’s declaration that it is what comes from within a man making him unclean, all those unbridled and disordered passions and desires, the deceit and darkness, is quite a propos, with the ‘smoke of Satan’ not just infiltrating, but verily choking the Church. One can barely bear to read the headlines,[…]
An article this morning in CWR quotes a recent speech by none other than Cardinal Sarah, recounting to young scouting pilgrims, on pilgrimage to Vezelay in France, how they should emulate the noble virtues of King Saint Louis IX, providing a timeless model of the virtues not just of royal leadership, but of laymen in[…]
As some may know, I am on a pilgrimage-holiday, first to my native Scotland (whence I write at present), then on down to Rome. Hence, the writing and publishing may a bit erratic over the next while, as I do what I can with limited internet with a limited ‘smart’ phone, alas. So be patient,[…]
Saint Irenaeus is the saint of the day, the vigil of Saints Peter and Paul. He was bishop of Lyons in what is now France, a doctor of the Church, and venerated as a martyr for the faith (+202), a disciple of fellow martyr Saint Polycarp (+155), who in turn was learned the faith at the feet[…]
(The author here, a professor who wishes to remain anonymous for professional reasons, strikes a note of caution concerning the popular Dr. Jordan Peterson, guru and sage to so many young people. For another perspective, see Scott Ventureyra’s recent article, as well as today’s Nota in Brevis) Catholics whom I admire, like Bishop Barron, have[…]
From Justin Trudeau’s eyebrow apparently falling off during a press scrum (apparently it may have been an optical illusion), to his tiff with President Trump, along with the imposition of crippling tariffs (just wait until they hit the automobile industry), it has not been a good week for our Prime Minister and Canada. I wonder[…]
