Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
As I mentioned on Saturday, now proclaimed on our webpage, Our Lady Seat of Wisdom has received accreditation. Alleluia! The little college that began with nine students back in the Jubilee Year 2000, has now been recognized by the Ontario government as a degree-granting institution. It is significant that we heard news of this on[…]
They actually published a report out of Alberta, out of the University of Calgary, and published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, that ‘medical assistance in dying’, also known more accurately as murder-suicide (soon, we might think, just plain murder) that putting the old, the sick and the just plain tired-of-life to death will save[…]
Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622), Bishop of Geneva and Doctor of the Church, is the patron saint of writers, not surprisingly, given his very readable, apt, direct, clear spiritual works, which have stood the test of time, and can be read today with as much benefit as they could in the 16th century. After a[…]
Donald Trump was sworn in just before mid-day this morning, as the 45th President of the United States, launched into his new career with a prayer from Timothy Cardinal Dolan and other spiritual figures; as one article put it, the most prayer said at any inauguration, a good sign, and Trump is going to need[…]
One can get the measure of a man not from his guarded, careful behaviour, but rather from his occasional slip-up, his less careful moments, when the ‘true self’ comes forth. Such was the case in Sherbrooke, Quebec the other day, when the Prime Minister, on his largely unscripted tour, at least so the story goes,[…]
Stephen Gordon argues that it is a good thing that Canada does not have an ‘elite’ university like Harvard (and, by extension one may presume, no ‘ivy league’ universities at all). His argument, from my brief perusal, is that everyone should benefit from a university education, since it leads to higher salaries, which is why[…]
Today is the feast of Saint Hilary of Poitiers (310-367), Bishop and Doctor of the Church, who was such a brilliant foe of the fourth century heresy that denied the divinity of Christ he is known as the Malleus Arianorum, the Hammer of the Arians. The main part of his life follows upon the Council[…]
Another day, yet another terrorist attack, this time in Israel, where a Palestinian, an ‘ISIS sympathizer’, drove a truck through a squad of Israeli soldiers, backing over his victims, before being shot to death by Israeli soldiers and a ‘tour guide’. Hmm. Even the tour guides are armed in lsrael, which is always on edge. […]
Today is the feast of Saint John Neumann, born in Bohemia, but who travelled to the United States in 1836 to seek ordination since there were ‘too many priests’ in his native country (remember those days?). Having already completed his seminary studies, he was ordained in New York city, and, after some difficult years as[…]
Ringing in the new year of 2017, rife with predictions from seers and others on what might happen during this 100th anniversary of the Fatima revelations, has already seen its troubling signs. One thousand or so ‘migrants’ from sub-Saharan Africa tried to storm the border, rushing and fighting their way into southern Spain. They fought[…]
