Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
In reference to my ‘snakes in paradise’, it turns out that the presence of said snake was prophesied, of sorts, by our own Paula Adamick in her insightful article on Ireland’s sad descent back in June, 2018. Re-reading her essay opens one’s eyes to how far the mighty in faith might fall, once they give[…]
Did a snake really wash – or swim – ashore in Ireland – a land that, according to pious tradition, has been without the slithering serpents since the time of Saint Patrick in the fifth century – just days before the first abortions spilled the blood of innocents in this once Catholic nation, a sin crying[…]
NEW SINGING OPPORTUNITY! Children ages 8 and up are invited to sing in a new youth choir at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Kingston, Ontario, beginning this month. The Cathedral Youth Singers is under the direction of dynamic and accomplished choral conductor Jeffrey Moellman. A wonderful opportunity to explore a rich tradition of music and learn[…]
I am still wondering about the case of Father John McCloskey, the popular – or once popular – Opus Dei priest, responsible for numerous famous conversions, including former abortionist Bernard Nathanson – now charged with ‘groping’ a woman during spiritual guidance sessions. She was apparently suffering from ‘depression’ and ‘marital problems’. Said woman has now[…]
I am more and more convinced that the scandals plaguing our Church and society, and the salvation of the world, depends far more upon individual, personal virtue than on any plan, committee, policies, safeguards, laws or procedures.

A blessed continuing merrie Christmas to all our readers, as we celebrate all these twelve days, right up to the Epiphany and the Baptism of our Lord. So keep those lights and candles burning, the decorations up! Christmas has just begun! Today is the memorial of Saint Thomas a Becket, the glorious bishop of Canterbury[…]
As we draw close to Christmas, waiting in these days of darkness, it is profitable to reflect on the purpose of the Incarnation. An anecdote I heard once has it that someone spray-painted on a highway rock-face, Jesus saves!, below which someone attempting humour added, ‘From what?’. From what, indeed. The short answer is, from sin,[…]
It is oft good – if still disheartening – to read of one’s deepest fears realized, for it signifies that one’s thoughts are tending in the right direction, even if those same thoughts lead to a dark place. It is thus that I, with some dismay, read the musings of one Professor Todd May of Clemson[…]
Of all the sins, Saint Thomas says (II-II.153.5) that lust perverts the reason the most, its intensity – meant to bond together a man and a woman in holy matrimony, so they will persevere through the purgatory that is raising children and putting up with each other’s faults – when misused leads to grave disorders,[…]
