Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
After visiting the Governor-General, who must approve in the King’s name, Mark Carney has called a federal election here in our fair Dominion of Canada for April 28th, the shortest time permissible by law. Perhaps he doesn’t want his more radical views to be known, and hopes to ride the coattails of anti-Trumpism, itself trumped-up[…]
We’ve written before in these pages on the ontological and moral status of pre-born embryos, and the hundreds of thousands of them kept in cold storage. See Aedan Reidy’s excellent analysis, and my own lesser take, after a pro-life talk last year. Here also is a just-posted article from First Things by Ericka Anderson on[…]
In this Jubilee year of hope, friends of mine, Pico and Ruth, are organizing a pilgrimage to Spain, to walk part of the final 100 km of the Camino, a route along the northern part of Spain that has been travelled by pilgrims for more than a thousand years. We will visit ancient Cathedrals along[…]
Heresy – the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same. Schism – the refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him. (cf., CCC 2089; CCL, 751) I[…]
A pithy paragraph from Mark Steyn, summing up much in a few words: It was five years ago that the entire western world except Sweden replaced various forms of self-government with a completely new, homogeneous system.

And this pontificate has been a series of ‘firsts’, not all of them felicitous ones. There’s three thirteens in this anniversary,[…]
March 10th – or 11th, if you want to end on the Solemnity itself – is the day to begin the novena to Saint Joseph, – but you may begin anytime, and today is good as well – and in this year dedicated to the great saint, Patron of the Universal Church, Patron of Canada[…]
(What follows is an open letter to the editor of various local papers where I live, and I thought it would do for a wider audience, with the author’s permission. What’s in the works here, is in the works across Canada, and will only get worse should Mark Carney ever become Prime Minster. I’ve wondered[…]
The 22nd of February is the Feast of the Chair of St Peter. St Peter’s Chair, or “Cathedra” brings with it the particular mission Jesus entrusted to Peter himself. The Matthean Gospel reveals to us the essence of this feast when in today’s Gospel we read Jesus’ words to Peter: And I tell you, you are[…]
Many suspected as much, that the mRNA ‘vaccines’ were not quite as ‘safe and effective’, as they were touted to be, as the sign still says at the front of our local care home here.
