The rule of law – in which each power is balanced by other powers and by other spheres of responsibility which keep it within proper bounds…in which the law is sovereign and not the arbitrary will of men (cf., CCC, #1904) If love be the glue that holds societies together, law – we should say,[…]
Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei… The heavens are telling the glory of God (Ps. 19) A recent article in OnePeterFive proposes that the Big Bang theory, – to be explained shortly – is a pagan proposition, replete with Gnostic overtones. One must be cautious here (and the author himself seems so, preferring apparently to remain anonymous).[…]
On this day, February 21, 1595, the Jesuit priest, poet, hymnodist and martyr, Robert Southwell (1561 – 1595) one of the great jewels of England, was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn. (The reader may find a fine biography, along with a number of his poems, here). He managed to evade the pursuing authorities in[…]
Future dystopias – which now have to be written the present tense – almost invariably involve governmental control and manipulation of the people’s thoughts and consequent behaviour, with a false and deliberately manipulative view of reality foisted upon the citizenry, usually by technological means to which the people are addicted. (Ironically, and providentially, I’m publishing[…]
You could compile the worst book in the world entirely out of selected passages from the best writers in the world. Gilbert K. Chesterton There is an old adage that there is no such thing as good writing, only good re-writing, and, we may perhaps add, even better re-re-writing.

The statement of the Quebec bishops declaring their submission to the vaccine passport for entry into churches comes across as a confused pottage of self-justification. They take the Vatican II Declaration on Religious Freedom (Dignitatis Humanae) out of context,[…]
Réveillez-vous, Canada, and Joan Up! I appreciated Kennedy Hall’s clarion call to stand fast against tyranny and oppression – with which I heartily agree – as well as his waxing eloquent on the Canadian virtues of strength and resilience – with which I also agree, but demur, with this caveat: Canadians have allowed the Trudeaus[…]
A group of us pilgrimaged forth in the bitter cold last night to support the convoy of truckers heading to Ottawa for today’s Freedom Rally. We all stood on the edge of Highway 17 – hundreds, if not thousands, of us, for miles upon miles – cheering them on, holding flags and signs. The joy[…]
In light of the recent COP summit – that is, ‘Conference of the Parties’ – in Glasgow in December, Prince Charles has declared that we need to get on a war footing with climate change. Enough of this pussyfooting around with incrementalism, with death to carbon by a thousand cuts! We have to get serious,[…]
The horror, the horror – final words of Kurtz in Josef Konrad’s Heart of Darkness People warned of this many months ago, when the ‘vaccine’ mandates began. A report from the U.S. military shows that from January to October, 2021, (when compared to the previous five years) there has been reported: Miscarriages — increase of[…]
