Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
In a recent article of mine, Private Versus Public Morality, published on the Catholic Insight website, I discussed the potential impact of the newly appointed United States Supreme Court Judge, Amy Coney Barrett, a Roman Catholic. One of the points discussed was whether Judge Barrett, because of her religion, would recuse herself from a case[…]
Pray for the Supreme Court today, that they be open to reason, grace and the Holy Spirit. As mentioned in our post on racing to death, six of the nine Justices are Catholic, and may they listen to the voice of their conscience, to protect the unborn, and ensure once again their God-given right to[…]
Advent, as a season of quiet, sombre waiting, has become a thing of the past. There are several reasons for the change. Obviously, commercialism has much to do with it. As well, there’s the irrepressible desire to brighten the winter nights with lights, as the ancient Romans did in celebrating the winter solstice. Surprisingly, Christianity[…]
For out of Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem (Lk. 21: 36). The first Sunday of Advent marks the beginning of a new liturgical year. Our Lord is also presented to us as the Saviour of the world, the Son of God, the Son of David, the New[…]
A blessed solemnity of Christ the King to all our readers! A rather recent feast, as Church history goes, first promulgated by Pope Pius XI in the wake of the ‘war to end all wars’, in his encyclical of December 11, 1925, Quas Primas, in the sixteenth centenary of the Council of Nicaea, which, as[…]

The following was just posted in the Peterborough-Lindsay region, in southern Ontario, Canada: 711 new cases: 322 of those ‘unvaccinated’, and 314 ‘fully vaccinated’. The total cases in Ontario: 609,429, with 594,602 resolved. And 9,955 deaths. Just a few take-aways: The ‘vaccine’ does not seem to be all that effective. The same number of cases[…]
Today, November 14 2021, is the feast day of the first Croatian canonized saint, the Franciscan St Nicholas Tavelić. Nikola or Nicholas was likely to be born between 1340 and 1350 in Šibenik. His biography does not tell us specifically what his childhood was like and, most importantly, what motivated him to embrace the Franciscan[…]
I’m not normally a big fan of petitions, which get lost in all the noise, but this one seems more useful than most, as an official one to parliament, prompted by member Ed Fast from Abbotsford, to allow all Canadians freedom of movement, on our planes and trains, across our fair Dominion.
