How much power and influence do Freemasons have in the West?

The Mayor of New York City Eric Adams just days has also been installed as a Master Mason. Included in the ceremony were Police Commissioner Edward Caban and New York Police Department Chief of the Department Jeffrey Maddre. Was the induction done in a Masonic Temple? No. It took place in Gracie Mansion the official house for mayors. No need to hide. They are proud of being Freemasons. And Master Mason is the highest level a member can achieve.

One must ask the question: how much of America's and Canada's political and cultural life is influenced by Freemasons? The entire West? It's clear now that the for decades the West has been internally uprooting itself from its Judaeo-Christian roots. The secular erosion is in every institution.

Words for a healthy spiritual life: "Pray, hope and don't worry"

From the September 2023 issue of Magnificat, we post the meditation of the day by St. Pius Pio of Pietrelcina who died in 1968 and canonized in 2002. He was an Italian Capuchin priest who during his lifetime had a great reputation for sanctity. He was known as Padre Pio and many pilgrims sought his counsel at San Giovanni Rotundo. In 1918, he received the visible stigmata, the wounds of Christ.

Abraham Lincoln's letter to his son's teacher is just as relevant today

We hope that parents and teachers read (re-read it if you have done so already) the thoughtful letter Abraham Lincoln wrote to his son's teacher about 150 years ago. We can learn much from it, especially in these woke days of political correctness and equity education.

Archbishop of Toronto Francis Leo has invited the Catholic community throughout the Archdiocese of Toronto to join in offering a novena to Saint Michael the Archangel, the Patron Saint of the diocese, leading up to the Solemnity of Saint Michael on September 29, 2023. We ask those praying the novena to include the children in our separate and public schools, who face an aggressive secular curriculum mostly not in harmony with the Catholic faith.
