Gavin Newsom, the governor of California with the slicked-back hair, has, according to Congressman Tom McClintock, apparently done us an unwitting favour, being caught flaunting the same bothersome and burdensome Covid protocols he has imposed on the residents of the golden coast. There he was, in a upscale restaurant, imbibing expensive wine his fellow bon[…]
I don’t think I am ever going to read the McCarrick report – at 460 or so pages, with copious footnotes, it is akin to Augustine’s City of God, but a lot less edifying – so of all the summaries and precis floating around the internet, Father Stravinskas does quite a thorough and insightful task.[…]
I must confess that I had no idea today was the feast of Saint Joseph Moscati (+1927) medical man and miracle worker, who signifies in a vivid way not only the ideal to which every physician should strive, but also every layman: To strive for holiness, for divine charity and, by implication, for perfection in[…]
In all things empirical – that is, truth that is gained through our senses, and experience – we should strive to be unbiased, to balance both sides of any question, to be open to revision, dialogue, and to any new evidence that arises. (A fitting thought on this day, which is the memorial of Saint[…]
Draconian Covid protocols are becoming more and more unhinged, sort of like Joe Biden’s apparent’ ‘victory’, and their connection with anything approximating reality more and more difficult to sustain.

The much-anticipated – in one sense – “McCarrick” report was released today, and the flurries of commentaries are making their rounds, even though the thing weighs in at a whopping 461 pages. There is a summary, for those who want the reader’s digest version, if you want even to read it at all. The whole[…]
Father Callam’s reflection on Dr. Leslie Hamilton Neatby evokes a Canada that was, and may never be again: A dominion united by common, fundamental principles, a shared Christian faith, a pursuit of the common good – to use a phrase from our neighbours to the south, one nation under God. Even our educational formation helped[…]
As various parts of the world enter yet-another totalitarian lockdown, precipitating further social and spiritual malaise, if not outright despair – there will come a day of reckoning for the political and medical apparatchiks – I was very glad to receive a ray of hope when someone sent along Cardinal Sarah’s tweet – tweeting cardinals[…]
I wrote a couple of days ago that something is real fishy about this election, but that seems far too anodyne now that three days have gone by, and there is still no decisive winner. The malodourous whiff emanating from all the dubious mail-in ballots, registrations for vacant lots, postmasters putting fake stamps on late[…]
