Canada owes an apology to the millions of unborn babies killed since 1969

The Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau has apologized to all those who claim to be part of the ever expanding acronym LBBTQQIP2AAA. It's so easy to virtue signal with words of contrition and emotion to make sure the message is heard: Canada is now "inclusive" and "tolerant" and all should be forgiven with the help of tax dollars.

What is the Prime Minister's public apology supposed to mean? Don't misunderstand. We agree that discriminating or making it illegal for anyone, including homosexuals, from serving in public office is wrong and unjust. But in Canada, homosexuality was decriminalized in 1969. It was the same year that intentionally killing an unborn baby in the womb became legal.

Sr. Carmelina could be Toronto's first saint

Yesterday, the family Catholic group United Society (Societa Unita) held its annual Family Celebration Dinner. Its founder and spiritual director Fr. Claudio Piccinini announced, to the over 400 hundred in attendance, that the cause for sainthood for Sr. Carmelina Tarantino continues. In addition, on December 17, people can visit as a group the tomb of Sr. Carmelina at Holy Cross Cemetery, in Thornhill, Ontario.

A blessed Feast Day of Christ the King, 2017

This Sunday, November 26, we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. It was Pope Pius XI during the Holy Year of 1925 that issued an encyclical called, Quas Primas, to establish this Feast Day of the Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The papal document is short and well worth reading as a way to give glory and praise to God on this special today and everyday.

Feminism and gender fluidity infect Stratford Festival

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is unabashedly feminist. He publicly talks about it every chance he gets. He's such a cheerleader for the cause that he believes abortion, the intentional killing of the unborn, is a woman's right. No Liberal MP can be pro-life. It's all about "freedom" without restrictions, freedom without limits: so killing, whether through abortion or euthanasia, the prime minister is all for it.

Can you even imagine Western leaders making a similar proclamation today?

On March 4, 1815, James Madison, the fourth president of the United States issued a Proclamation recommending that a day be set aside to celebrate a Thanksgiving Day for Peace. And so Americans have their Thanksgiving Day. In Canada, it's hard to imagine that our "Catholic" prime Minister Justin Trudeau would ever entertain a similar thought, let alone do it. This is true of the entire West.

Ontario Court of Appeal rules against parental rights

First a little background. Dr. Steve Tourloukis has been in a legal battle for over five years trying to defend parental rights in Ontario and Canada. Back in 2010, as the McGinty Liberal government tried to pass the radical sex-education curriculum, Tourloukis simply asked his children's school board to be notified of classes that contradicted his Greek-Orthodox faith. He could then choose to keep them at home when instruction was inappropriate.

TWU's Christian law school fights for its existence

You have probably heard of the legal battle that Trinity Western University is having to establish its law school. First, they had a long legal fight to get accreditation for their teacher preparatory program and presently they're battling to have a law school. A number of the bigoted Law Societies across Canada have objected to Trinity's Community Covenant.

University higher learning or state mandated indoctrination

Canadian parents just consider this question: Why do you send your sons and daughters to college or university? We assume that it's for the noble quest to be better people, build the common good and pursue beauty and truth. But too many universities have abandoned true higher education only to embrace the brainwashing students with the world of political correctness, gender identity and sexual transhumanism.

Last year, before the misguided Bill C-16.

Beware: this is NOT a safe space

Readers be warned: this is NOT a safe space. So, please proceed with caution and a mind of your own.

This is NOT a safe space for abortion, euthanasia, illegal drugs, contraception and all the other guises used by the Western world to advance the culture of death by globally exporting "legalized" intentional killing.

Our Lady, Help of Christians: we need her intercession today

Did you know that the Blessed Mother has the title, Our Lady, Help of Christians? Yes, she does. It was given to her by St. Pius V. Why? Because of the victorious sea battle of Lepanto in the 16th century. The pope also added the petition in the Litany of Loreto.

There is a shrine to commemorate the victory at Lepanto. It was St. John Bosco who took on the task of constructing a church dedicated to Our Lady after the defeat of the Turks.
