Katherine Middleton, Princess of Wales, as readers are likely aware, has just made a moving public announcement that she is suffering from cancer. She speaks stoically, but there must be much emotion behind the royal poise. We should pray for her and her family – she is but 42, with three young children. And not[…]
Holy Week starts from Palm Sunday to end on Easter Sunday. Each and every single day has a special lesson to teach us. Palm Sunday is the day wherein the Holy Week is inaugurated. As a community we go with Jesus, the King of Kings, to enter triumphantly in Jerusalem, the City of the Great King,[…]
Justin Trudeau and his ‘Justice’ Minister, Arif Virani, are doubling down on Bill C-63, purported to make the internet a ‘safe place for children’. Violations of their strict censorship laws – which include anything that may make anyone for whatever reason feel ‘unsafe’ – include anything from bankrupting-level fines to life in prison, even for[…]
(Another re-post, which I hope helps the reader see his way through our current thicket) G.K. Chesterton once quipped that a rhinoceros in a china shop has all the power, but no authority. The curator, on the other hand, may be a lightweight compared to the rhino, but he does have the authority to arrange,[…]

Today marks the eleventh anniversary of the election of Jorge Borgoglio to the Chair of Saint Peter as Pope Francis. Whatever one thinks of him, and his controversial papacy, we should pray for the man, his soul and his tenure, and that God’s will be done, as holy and as perfect as it might be[…]
Yes, as a follow-up to our post the other day on the proposed change to Ireland’s constitution: Well, the Irish had enough sense in the referendum to reject the re-definition of marriage, motherhood and family, and, apparently, by a significant margin. I also just read that the Emmanuel Macron, after pushing for the ‘right to[…]
What would Pope Saint John Paul II think of International Women’s Day (IWD), which was celebrated on March 8th, whose theme is the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women? One promotes their dignity and never tramples upon their innate vocation for motherhood, as abortion proponents would tend to do. One of the great[…]
Ireland is at it again, or at least those who currently govern the Emerald Isle, once so Catholic, and, now, well, chucking off her glorious heritage.
