November 18th is also the optional memorial of Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne (1769 – 1852), a native of France, but who spent much of her life as a missionary in the American midwest, back when it was wild and wooly territory. She was from a noble family, whose fortunes somehow survived the persecutions of the[…]

The saying has it that politics is downstream of culture, and I would only add that so is everything else. For what is a nation or a people but its culture, all that makes up its ‘life’ – customs, traditions, mores, entertainment, marriage, family, all that they do and don’t do. And culture, as its[…]

Saint Francis de Sales once quipped, if my fallible memory serves, that dances were a lot like mushrooms: Even the best weren’t worth that much. We might retort, that mushrooms do help bring out what is good in a meal, which would be all the less without them. I do think that what passes for[…]

Imagine seeing yourself on a video doing and saying things – especially scandalous, earth-shattering things – you never did. At least, you cannot recall them, and you know you would never do them. I need not elaborate on what ‘things’ and ‘them’ might be, but you get the picture. Say you see yourself on some[…]

The James Webb telescope is a technological wonder, which in turn allows us to peer every farther and more fully into the even greater marvels of the universe, and God’s natural mysteries. Launched, fittingly enough, on Christmas Day in 2021, the 13,000 pound telescope sailed through space, settling in what is known as the ‘Lagrange[…]

Here in Canada we’ve gone from offering ‘medical assistance in dying’ to those on the point of death – in articulo mortis, as we used to say of the sacrament of extreme unction – to now offering the option of murder-suicide to those who are mentally ill, to minors or to those just tired of[…]

Sam Kriss has an intriguing take on Bill Gates, and what being that rich – I mean, really, unimaginably rich – does to someone. As Alec Baldwin says in the film The Edge, ‘rich people are different’, which is sort of ironic, coming from him, but it’s an aphorism of which I have my own[…]

(Here is a re-post of a reflection on the ‘Reformation’, originally published five years ago, on the half-millennium anniversary of its traditional and symbolic beginning. The spirit of Luther is still with us today, and must be reckoned with, as it continues to affect very much our own Church) Today’s 500th anniversary of the ‘Reformation’[…]

Ponder this list of names of the alleged perpetrators of a grooming-and-rape gang in Britain involving a 13 year-old girl. One name is not quite like the others, but I’d imagine he’s a convert, of sorts. Speaking of which, the reader may be reminded of Jean Raspail’s 1973 novel Camp of the Saints, about a[…]

The many accolades heaped upon Queen Elizabeth have their place. She was, as promised in that early address of 1941, devoted to her duty, at least as she saw it, exemplified in her wartime service as an ambulance driver; her staying in London during the blitz; her many years of doing the rounds of what[…]

They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abad’don, and in Greek he is called Apol’lyon. (Revelations, 9:11) The Society of Physicians of Quebec – that formerly Catholic province – has advocated for the euthanasia of ‘disabled’ children. And one is hardly surprised, for once the[…]
