The present state of Catholic education in Ontario now uses the generic and vague term "Catholic lens" as a standard of success. Can Catholic schools be both secular and faith based? So, it's worth revisiting, the 1999 well thought out statement by author and educator Fr. James Mulligan on Catholic education titled, "Distinctly Catholic: An Assessment of a Great Work in Progress." The article is 21 years old, but is perhaps even more relevant today. In this post, we share Fr. Mulligan's assessment of Catholic education, his solutions for the future and our response. Here's his introduction:

This is a personal assessment.

The speech we post from Mark Morano at Climate Depot is his apology for wrongly believing climate ‘solutions’ were the greatest threat to liberty. Now he says viral fears/lockdowns are greatest threat. Morano states, "On behalf of climate skeptics everywhere, I would like to formally apologize for warning that ‘climate change’ was the biggest threat to our liberty over the last 30 years. Climate change ‘solutions’ are a big threat.

Americans heard from a Catholic nun at the Republican National Convention. Sister Deirdre Byrne also an army doctor who later became a nun spoke these truthful and refreshing words, ‘I’m not just pro-life. I’m pro–eternal life.’ Amen. As well, Sr. Byrne was a colonel in the U.S. Army Medical Corps. Here message was a great testimony to life, to truth and for the Catholic faith.

She has been to several places around the world working with the poor, refugees and in defence of unborn children.

The young man Nicholas Sandmann who was wrongly criticized by the MSM in 2019, spoke at the Republican National Convention last night. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a read “Make America Great Again" hat. Sandmann had attended a pro-life march and was waiting with other students in front of the Lincoln Memorial to be picked up. They all came from Covington Catholic High School.

While waiting, Sandmann was approached by Nathan Phillips, an Omaha Tribe elder.

Today we post the Prayer for The United States of America written by His Excellency Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò:

Almighty and Eternal God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords: graciously turn your gaze to us who invoke You with confidence.

Bless us, citizens of the United States of America; grant peace and prosperity to our Nation; illuminate those who govern us so that they may commit themselves to the common good, in respect for Your holy Law.

From LifeSiteNews, we post this encouraging article titled, Italian disease expert: 90 percent of new COVID cases so mild people don’t even know they have it."

The vast majority of Italy’s latest wave of COVID-19 infections are asymptomatic, according to an Italian expert on infectious diseases. This means that the symptoms are so mild or next to nothing that most people who have contracted the virus don’t even know they have it.

The Ontario government has issued school guidance because of Covid-19 titled "Guide to reopening Ontario’s schools". One simple way to make schools "safer" is for students and staff who don't feel well not to come to school until they are healthy. This protects them and others. This is has to be stressed. Students and staff can easily self-screen each day before going to school. As the year 2020-21 begins, what schools need to be "safe" is not rocket science.

Does anybody really believe that schools will reopen in Ontario with the full cooperation of teachers unions, both Catholic and public? Of course not. The unions are exploiting the pandemic as an opportunity to get as much money as as they can, as well as any concessions from the Ministry of Education.

More than fifty years ago, Bishop Fulton Sheen delivered on television a prophetic talk that describes exactly what is currently happening in America. Sheen covers the issues that American voters are facing in the upcoming 2020 presidential election this November. The vote is a referendum on America itself: its founding principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The controversial Jesuit priest Fr. James Martin is scheduled to pray this week at the Democratic national Convention. This despite the fact that Joe Biden who will be nominated as the for presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, believes in abortion at any time during pregnancy. Of course Fr. Martin is stressing that his presence at the event is not political. But that doesn't matter. The Democratic Party platform is 100% pro-death and be fully funded by tax payers. Fr.

1 Timothy 2:1-5
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings should be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
