Yesterday, May 1st, on the memorial of Saint Joseph the Worker, Our Lady Seat of Wisdom received official recognition from the government of Ontario to grant degrees, specifically the ‘Bachelor of Catholic Studies’. Providentially, the letter arrived three years to the very day that the application was first submitted, on the day dedicated to the[…]
Saint Catherine of Siena, born in 1347, and who died on this day in 1380, was in no uncertain terms a remarkable woman. Born into a family of 22 (!!) children (yes, all from the same parents without technological help), half of whom sadly died, Catherine showed signs of her uniqueness at an early age,[…]
They are rolling out guaranteed income in three test communities in Ontario (Hamilton, Lindsay and Thunder Bay), along with a few jurisdictions in the United States and Europe. For those who have remained nescient of this magical money phenomenon, the premise is quite simple: The government provides every household in the region, regardless of income,[…]
(There are another terrorist attack in France yesterday, in Paris, near the Champs D’Elysees, a police officer targeted and killed with the usual suspect, ISIS, claiming responsibility. To be more particular, it was a lone gunman, who had already been arrested, spending 15 years in jail for the attempted murder of two other police officers[…]
I hope that all our readers are enjoying their ‘week of Sundays’ during this Easter Octave, every day a solemnity, to be celebrated with great joy.

There is not much profit, in more ways than one, in commenting on international affairs, but that does not stop so many, myself included, from trying. (To comment, that is, not so much to profit). I am surprised that most of the feedback on Trump’s ordering Tomahawk missiles to destroy a Syrian air base (at[…]
A blessed solemnity of the Annunciation, when the divine Word was made incarnate in the womb of the Virgin Mary. When Dionysius Exiguus, who formulated what we now know as the calendar in 525 A.D., he assigned March 25 as the first day of the year, since that was when the new covenant of grace[…]
Motion M-103 passed in the House of Commons this afternoon, by a margin of 201 to 91, meaning that there are 201 people in charge of legislation in this country who know not the meaning nor the purpose of human law (and many of them are, I presume, lawyers). Yes, the media are all clamouring[…]
(Parliament may effectively vote into law today with the third reading of Motion 103, which would be propaedeutic to making any criticism of Islam illegal, under the broad and vague notion of ‘Islamophobia’. I wrote of this recently, but the government’s interference in the use of language is always a troubling sign, one that goes[…]
