When the blackface scandal first broke, CTV political commentator Don Martin said that Justin Trudeau told him as a backbench MP that he would never run as PM because he had too many secrets.

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN, whose life spanned most of the nineteenth century—1801-90—was and remains a fascinating character. Much of his charm is found in his remarkable talent for friendship, and his great influence on both Protestants and Catholics arose from his ability to collect around him talented men who influenced his thinking, and vice versa. It’s[…]
Hold to the standard of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Guard the good treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit living in us (2 Tim. 1:13-14). ⧾ The lessons of the Mass today exhort us to steadfastness, fidelity[…]

And the Lord spoke all these words: I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven[…]
Twenty-fifth Sunday Per Annum (C) September 22, 2019. You cannot serve God and wealth (Lk. 16:13). At face value, it would seem that that the Gospel text of the Mass appears to be in favour of dishonesty in business dealing.
