This is truly a great Pope.

During lunch, the Pope told the cardinals that “we see how evil wants to dominate in the world and that it is necessary to enter into the fight against evil.” He added that although the term “the Church Militant” is deemed “a bit out of fashion” these days, it is actually the phrase that best “possesses the truth.” This evil, he said, manifests itself in many obvious ways through “different forms of violence” but, more subtly, it can also be found “masquerading as goodness, and thus destroying the moral foundations of society.”

Back in 2003, I sat beside soon-to-be Premier Dalton McGuinty at an All-Candidate’s Debate in Ottawa South.  You can hear my opening and closing remarks below.

As you will hear in the clip, I was rather animated and “direct” about McGuinty’s pro-gay, anti-religious freedom stance.  Most people did not really see the danger of McGuinty’s position, or if they did, they didn’t bother getting too worked up about it.

I didn’t pull any punches then, because I knew what was coming down the pipe for our Catholic kids today.   And I was right.  What was “unthinkable” 10 years ago with homosexuality in Catholic schools is becoming the standard fare today.

With the current “Anti-Gay Bullying” Bill just months away from becoming law and affecting Catholic education forever in this province, I think my remarks were spot-on. 

I even told the crowd assembled at that Debate that their problems would be 10 times worse in 10 years.  Well that was 9 years ago.  We’re well on the way for that prediction to come true.  And we’re further along in losing our religious freedom.

Without the necessary resolve and leadership, we Catholics – and what I mean by that is real Catholics – are well on the way to second-class citizenship in Ontario and in Canada.

I am amazed, really, at just how clueless and naive the regular Joe Six Pack Catholic is….or maybe I am just amazed at how little their religion means to them.

Either way, a pruning is happening because this Gong Show is coming to a quick end because God really does want to know if we’re all serious about being Catholic.

The bishops in the Philippines sure ain’t afraid to stare down the enemies of their flock. Their opposition to the “Reproductive Health” bill is well documented. Now they’re taking on a huge mining company.

It’s not uncommon for multinationals to take advantage of poor countries by wrecking the environment to make a quick buck exploiting natural resources. The multinational mining giant Xstrata is currently looking to expand its operations in the Philippines in a manner that violates government environmental laws. Politicians are under pressure to amend the laws to allow the project to go through. However, local residents and the Catholic Church are opposed to the operation because of the environmental impact. The blowback is having a big impact.

With local polls due next year, South Cotabato legislators are reluctant to amend the law because they risk the ire of the Church, said Arthur Pingoy, the region’s governor. (Source)

Yeah, they’d better be afraid ’cause the priests are calling it like they see it: Read the rest of this entry »

Well, it looks like the “Anti-Gay Bullying” Bill is making its rounds in the province.    The “Bill 13 Committee ” will be in Ottawa today to listen to the concerns of parents and other “stakeholders”.

The truth of this Bill, as everyone already knows, is not really about bullying Gay students.  It’s about advancing an agenda and bullying students in the Separate School system and shaming them into accepting Sodomy as a legitimate way of life. If there is any bullying going on, it will be against Faithful Catholic Kids as the Gay activists and their sycophants use this latest canard – like they do in just about every other arena - to punish dissent and make sure everyone learns the language of “Gayspeak” and dutifully and obediently conforms to it.  Read the rest of this entry »

May 9, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The U.S. Catholic Bishops’ Conference has published the full text of a new rite of blessing for children in the womb.

The new prayers, first proposed in 2008, are aimed at helping parents of unborn children “by imparting grace and comfort in time of concern and need,” encouraging parishes to unite in prayer for the child, and fostering “respect for human life within society.”

The prayers, approved by the Vatican earlier this year, may be said either within a Mass or on their own, and have been published as a booklet in both English and Spanish. (Source)

I couldn’t find these prayers on the website of the CCCB. I wonder why the Canadian bishops haven’t published this yet. Hopefully the delay is only due to the need to translate it to French.

The Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association (OECTA) is proud to recognize May 17 as the International  Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia. OECTA members stand in solidarity with  those in the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, trans-identified and queer (LGBTQ)  community and their allies, in vocal opposition to homophobia and transphobia. “It is important to acknowledge that despite a growing awareness of the  threats facing many LGBTQ students, workers and their families,  there is still much to be done to eliminate the threat of discrimination,  harassment and violence in their lives,” says OECTA President Kevin O’Dwyer. “As teachers, we speak out  against such threats and take the necessary actions to protect our school  communities.”..

This victimology is all about taking our focus off of the ONE TRUE victim who is Jesus Christ.

When – oh when – are we going to get leaders who are going to put these “Catholics” in their place.

When are we going to get bishops who finally pull the plug on this pathetic Gong show that mocks our Faith every passing day.

This “pastoral” approach hasn’t worked in 40 years, and it’s working even less now.

The bishops either take control of the School System or cut bait and start again.  But this sham spectacle has to end one way or another.

TORONTO, Ontario, May 15, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Leaders of Ontario’s 250,000 Orthodox Christians took aim at bullying in the province’s schools on Monday – starting with the government’s proposed Bill 13, the Accepting School Act. A clergy delegation appeared as witnesses before the Standing Committee on Social Policy at Queen’s Park, charging that the government’s anti-bullying legislation virtually ignores most bullying victims in schools, while at the same time targeting traditional religious groups for censure. “Statistics Canada data on bullying and violence indicates that bullying against religious groups is more than twice as common as bullying against self-identified gays and lesbians,” noted Father Geoffrey Korz, Orthodox Dean of Ontario and chief presented to the Queen’s Park committee. He was joined by Father William Makarenko, former Chancellor of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada, and supported by Father John Koulouras of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Toronto, and Father Alexei Vassiouchkine of the Russian Orthodox Church.We must ask, why does Bill 13 make repeated, special mention of LGBT anti-bullying initiatives, when such incidents represent only a fraction of the reality of bullying in Ontario schools?”…(Source)

This is the kind of direct questions that we need more of from our Clergy.  Good on the Orthodox for asking the hard questions.   It’s time to push back.  And the politicians really do need to understand that imposing Gaydom on our children will have political repercussions.  Only when we start taking ourselves seriously will the politicians start to pay attention.

It’s time for Christians to stop being the doormat of Dalton McGuinty.

The only real solution to the crisis of publicly funded Catholic schooling in Canada.

Good on Fr. Anthony.  Great priest.  Takes no bull but delivers the hard truth with charity.

Personally, the more I think about it, I believe that we must not alienate the non-Catholics. We are as one on the Hill and to have our Lord in Eucharist there would not only be disrespectful to the Eucharist it could also insight some very hard feelings,or even cause a riot . We have come so far in this fight and to jeopardize our unity would be a grave mistake…

Above is an email that I received about my push for having a Eucharistic procession and benediction on Parliament Hill.  While I certainly respect the idea of having all Christians and non-Christians alike join in the abortion battle, the idea that Catholics (or any Faith group, for that matter) have to somehow check their spirituality at the door is rooted in a false ecumenism.  Do not all Christians suffer from the complaint by the Secularists?  “Keep your religion out of politics.”  If we Christians reject this idea, then we should also reject the same principle when it applies to our intramural differences, as well.  It’s the same deadly logic that seeks to impose an artificial unity.   We, as Catholics, are on Parliament Hill principally because we are Catholic.  So why should we hide our distinct spirituality because it offends non-Catholics?  First of all, we’re 90-95% of the people who show up for the March for Life every year.  That alone makes this “you may give offense” charge, offensive in itself!  Secondly, no Catholic would feel offended if other Christians or non-Christians wanted to express the reason for their participation, either.   And remember, folks, I am not even suggesting having the Eucharistic event during the actual March itself.  Heaven forbid!  I am simply saying, “We Catholics brought abortion in to this country. We Catholics have to do our part to take it out, in our own way.”  I repeat: this is a spiritual battle which must be won in that realm, first, before it translates into sociological and political victory.

…Thanks to Barack Obama, who is for conservatives a gift that keeps on giving, the liberals are doffing the genial mask they donned in the days of Bill Clinton and revealing themselves as what they are. And, instead of seeking to subvert Roman Catholicism from within in the manner of Mario Cuomo and Ted Kennedy, as they have been doing with great success for half a century, they are attacking it head on, forcing the American church to return to its fundamental principles, and inducing non-members sympathetic to its understanding of human sexuality to think about joining…(Source)

The Catholic Church has been sleeping for the past 40 years, getting fat and lazy, and becoming too damn cozy with the State to the point where we were becoming the department of social justice within the government.  Obama has changed all that.  He is indeed the gift that keeps on giving. He very well might be the single most important cause for the resurgence of the Catholic Church.  For that, we all must be very grateful.
