Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
Today, July 13th is the a 103rd anniversary of the third vision at Fatima – no, not the third secret, which is another story – to the three shepherd children, the one in which they were given a glimpse of hell ‘where the souls of poor sinners go’, which terrified the children, and prompted them[…]
Today we remember Saint Henry, Emperor of the Romans and King of the Italians, the last of the ‘Ottonian’ line – deriving from the original Emperor, Otto I. Henry was from Bavaria – whence Josef Ratzinger would also hail a millennium on – who became Holy Roman Emperor in 1014 until his death on this[…]
The recent edition of Living with Christ – yes, you know the one, the disposable missalette (which should be an oxymoron) has on its most recent front cover a photo of a young boy receiving Communion in the hand, standing, looking straight ahead, an image that would have shocked and scandalized Catholics a scant generation[…]
I have an article this morning on LifeSite, which tries – as all essays should do – to make the case for the distinction between the moderate use of alcohol, permitted by our Tradition, and the use of recreational drugs, such as marijuana, which is not permitted.

Pope Francis has added three new titles to the Litany of Loreto, the ancient prayer to Our Lady under various of her titles: We are asked to invoke her intercession as Mother of Mercy, of Hope and of Migrants. Being a migrant myself, albeit not with my own will, as a young lad from Scotland,[…]

We use the singular ‘mind’, for independent thought seems to be vanishing faster than statues of colonial white men, in what Mark Steyn has dubbed the ‘march of the morons‘. They are defacing[…]
In 1964, the United States passed the Civil Rights Act, which forbade unjust discrimination based on ‘race, color, religion, sex or national origin’. Today, in 2020, the United States Supreme Court decreed that homosexuality must be added to that list, and that ‘sex’ is whatever a person discerns their own sex to be – no[…]
Here is a telling comment, that may put things in perspective, from the perspective last Christmas, George Michael style: The thing is, this list is not even exhaustive, and, we hope note, but more may yet be to come: (cue the harp arpeggio and wavy video) Let me take you back in time. All the[…]
Marion Morrison died on this day in 1979 – no, not Marilyn Manson, who is a whole different story – a few years after making his last film, The Shootist, which told the saga of an aged gunfighter dying of cancer facing one last battle, all the while the actor’s body was riddled with the[…]
