Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
Years ago I decided to take a course on Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen, I know, very mainstream. As I sat in a small class room with people who were a minimum twenty years older than me a whole new world opened up to me. Yes my classmates were older and wiser than me, yet,[…]
In the quiet village of Nazareth, far removed from centers of power and influence, a young woman named Mary was living what seemed to be an ordinary day. There were no signs that history was about to change. No crowds, no great gathering, no outward indication that something divine was about to unfold. And yet,[…]
Growing up, I didn’t really have a father figure. Because of that, I didn’t have much respect for the vocation of a father or a husband. It felt distant, almost irrelevant—like something I couldn’t fully understand or trust. But during my conversion, that began to shift in an unexpected way. What first drew me to[…]
There’s so much talk in the news right now about how we can unite as a region at a time when we’re more divided than ever. Often, we turn to policy to answer this question. But it’s so much bigger than that. And while the problem is big, I believe it’s actually the little things[…]
Over the past few months, I have found myself scrolling through Facebook Reels that surface fragments of 1990s television, shows like Step by Step, Saved by the Bell, and Beverly Hills, 90210, programs that quietly shaped the moral and emotional imagination of a generation.

Sam Harris, on his latest tour, recently claimed that with a few psychedelics, his genuine instruction on how to attend to the nature of one’s mind, and proper meditative practice, we would no longer need the Bible—nor regard it with such reverence. For Harris, understanding scripture as the word of God is incompatible with true[…]
Over the past decade, Canada has slid from policing words to policing thoughts. What was once the domain of dystopian fiction, such as Minority Report (based on the 1956 short story The Minority Report by Philip K. Dick), and Orwell’s 1984, is quickly becoming legislative reality. In Parliament, laws keep piling up, each one nibbling[…]
When Erika Kirk stepped up to the microphone to speak about Charlie, the mood was nothing like a staged tribute. You could witness her tremendous suffering and authenticity. Every word was marked by the love she had for him and by the faith they shared, a faith that turned even her grief into testimony. She[…]
Once upon a time, there was a strange belief that the importance of a “free press” lay not only in the existence of independent, privately supported reporting; another value was that of providing a platform for healthy, civil discourse spanning a variety of topics and opinions. Well, such a value seems to be abhorrent to[…]
The recent shooting of pupils and elderly parishioners during morning Mass at the Church of the Annunciation in Minneapolis has raised many questions. Some of them are of quite recent origin, while others are getting quite old. According to reports, the shooting started just a few minutes into Mass, just as the responsorial Psalm was[…]
