Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
Saint Bridget of Sweden (+1373) was known for her kindness, her patience, her good works, first, as a wife and mother of six children, all of them surviving infancy, which was rare at that time (and up until modern obstetrics), including one canonized saint, Catherine, also of Sweden. After her husband’s death in 1344, she[…]
A blessed Sunday to all our readers, the Sixteenth in Ordinary Time, or the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost in the usus antiquior. Either way, we celebrate the resurrection, which gives us joy and hope. In that light we should read Paul Suski’s dire – but still hopeful – on Europe, and Poland in particular. Pope[…]
A note to all our readers: “Unplanned” – based on the powerful and moving true story of the conversion of former Planned Parenthood employee Abby Johnson – is screening in select theatres across Canada for ONE week: July 12-18th. Please fill a car with friends and family and see this film! As they become available,[…]
I know almost nothing about Jeffrey Epstein, except the vague charges of sexual malfeasance, the ‘Lolita express’, and the island of sensual delights, at least of a certain sort. What I did find intriguing was that he was arrested on July 6th which, as readers may well be aware, is the memorial of Saint Maria[…]
Just after posting the announcement on the week-long showing of Unplanned in Canadian theatres, it was announced this morning that two of those theatres have cancelled due to ‘death threats’. One must wonder at who is doing the threatening, and why. You may recall the suspicious fire-bombing of Morgentaler’s abortion clinic, blamed on pro-lifers, but[…]
Saint Anthony Zaccaria (+1539), from noble lineage in late-renaissance Italy, first studied medicine, then for the priesthood, adopting a life of great discipline and zeal, founding the ‘Barnabites’, inspired by the teachings of Saint Paul the Apostle, dedicated to renewing the Church and rooting out abuses. Hmm. He also popularized the ‘Forty Hours Devotion’ of[…]
A few good reads we might suggest: In the metaphysical maelstrom that oft characterizes this current Magisterium, a nugget of clarity, in the recent document from the Congregation for Education on the insanity of gender fluidity. Male and Female He Created Them explains in no uncertain terms that in the beginning we were created, as[…]
Today, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, is the World Day of Prayer for Priests, instituted by Pope Saint John Paul II in 2002, a reminder that Christ came in true human nature, with a human body, flesh and ‘heart’, and all that means, the emotions and affections proper to being a man. Christ could[…]
Disturbing, and all-too ironic, that younger humans have ‘horns’ growing out of the back of their skulls, to compensate for bent necks hunching over phones: New research in biomechanics suggests that young people are developing hornlike spikes at the back of their skulls — bone spurs caused by the forward tilt of the head, which[…]
The tide may be turning, just a little, on the education front, as Indianapolis Archbishop Charles Thompson stripped a Catholic school of its Catholic title – as is his prerogative and duty in Canon Law – when one of the teachers ‘married’ his same –sex partner. Brebéuf Jesuit Preparatory School – alas, named after one[…]
