Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
The errors of communism, as Our Lady predicted, continue their long, slow march throughout the world, but sometimes this march takes a sharp turn for the worse. Witness South Africa, whose Marxist parliament under new president Cyril Ramaphosa recently voted to usurp all the land of ‘white farmers’ without compensation, giving said land, one may[…]
While we’re on the topic of clarity, an excellent read is this recent piece by Gerhard Cardinal Mϋller in First Things. Quite a limpid, and we might add, bold presentation of the only orthodox interpretation of Amoris Laetitia, upholding the natural and divine law doctrine that the sexual union is lawful only within a canonically[…]
I suppose I should wish everyone a joyous and restful Family Day, but I have a strong, almost knee-jerk, reaction to State-mandated holidays, regardless of their theme or intention, as I wrote on this day last year. But, since it is a day off for everyone, enjoy the time with family, friends, or just going[…]
Patrick Brown has thrown his hat into the ring of the Progressive Conservative leadership race, vying to win back the very position he resigned what seems like just yesterday ago, I suppose in his attempt not just to salvage his reputation and what he considers his ‘life’, but also bringing the Party more to the[…]
I have this theory, and history attestst to its veracity, that people are by nature monarchists. Oh, we may give lip service to republicanism or good old constitutional democracy, but we ultimately want someone to take care of us and our problems. Like the Israelites of old, we clamour for a king. Also like them,[…]
A blessed Ash Wednesday to all, as we begin the journey of Lent through the traditional practices of almsgiving, fasting and prayer, not always listed in that order, but one which signifies their purpose, in terms of our own growth in virtue and holiness: Almsgiving detaches us from our external goods, money, possessions, time. Fasting[…]
It was a dramatic scene: venerable Cardinal Zen, bishop emeritus of Hong Kong, a lifelong foe and survivor of Communism in China, a spiritual hero and living saint, showing up outside Saint Peter’s demanding that the Pope receive a letter he had written, criticizing the Vatican’s recent overtures and agreements with the Communist regime. It[…]
(What follows is a revised version of a piece I wrote two years ago, for the Rio Olympics, adapted. Just so all readers know, I enjoy athletics, but the cult of the body has got to go and give. This life is a transient one, strength and beauty fade like the flower of the field,[…]
A blessed feast of the Presentation, also called Candlemas, celebrating the dedication of the child Jesus in the Temple, the purification of Our Lady after her childbirth, and the beginning of Christ’s mission as a light unto the Gentiles, the salvation of the whole human race. For some musical devotion, I would highly recommend two[…]
Christie Blatchford has it right: to paraphrase her gist, men are sitting ducks, or at least like those slow-moving targets in cheapo carnival shooting games, where everyone is guaranteed a prize. All it takes now is the rumour of a rumour that ‘something’ happened, ten weeks, ten years ago, something often not even remotely illegal.[…]
