From genderless people to genderless clothing – or is it the other way around? Glancing through the article, even the physiognomy, besides all the cultural phenomena, has become androgynous. I had trouble telling who was the XY and who the XX in the photographs. Or is even saying that sexist? Not so in this track[…]
Come and see Seat of Wisdom’s performance of Pirates of Penzance, Gilbert and Sullivan’s 1880 rollicking musical operetta, filled with music, singing, dancing, harmonies galore, glorious costumes, a story of love, loss and redemption, and lots of comic fun, with three performances on the first weekend of March. A hit when first performed on New Year’s[…]
Blaise Cardinal Cupich has denied any link between homosexuality and the sexual abuse crisis, and that the upcoming synod will not only not focus on the former, but will not even mention the sin contra naturam, that, ironically, was once called the sin that one could not even name, it was so sordid. Hence, its[…]
Of course, as non-rational beings, elephants cannot lust, but I agree with Julia Meloni that unless the hierarchical powers-that-be realize that the clerical abuse crisis is much more than a question of victimized ‘minors’, not much will be solved. The deeper problem is that of homosexuality and, beyond that, sexual malfeasance in general. Nothing so disorders[…]
Cardinal Mueller’s Manifesto continues to create quite the stir, opening up what seems be a deep division within the Vatican. What that division signifies has itself yet to be clarified, but it has something to do with those who seek clarity and precision – two hallmarks of theology, as I will never tire of repeating[…]
A blessed memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes, the World Day of the Sick, on which I posted a few words in an editorial. Today’s regular reading, in God’s good providence, corresponds with the feast, as the crowds press in upon Christ, and all those who touched even the ‘hem of His garment’ were healed,[…]
In one of the many ironies of this Humpty Dumpty age where words no longer mean what they are meant to mean, but only what people want them to mean, the Boy Scouts will now admit girls, which might seem odd, but not if you’re ‘woke’, and a girl may be a boy, a boy[…]
I just read that 2019 was the futuristic year – at least in relative terms – in which the films Blade Runner (1982) and The Running Man (1987) were set, both envisioning dystopic futures of oppression, poverty, pollution and artificial intelligence run amok. Not far off the mark, even if the stories, as is the[…]
Another Islamic bombing, one that adds sacrilege to sacrifice, as the target were participants in Sunday Mass at the cathedral of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in the southern Philippines. At least twenty dead, scores more grievously injured, including a delayed bomb deliberately set to target rescuers. Pray for the dead, the wounded, the perpetrators.[…]
In this week of prayer for Christian unity, I have an article on the Toronto archdiocesan webpage – or more like a few brief answers to questions – on the life of Saint Francis de Sales, ecumenist par excellence, who brought thousands of wandering souls – heretics, to give them their canonical term, whatever their[…]
