The Interim
“Canada is a free country,” the young journalism student declared. “We can express our opinions freely.” He had quite bluntly stated his strong objections to homosexual activism and same-sex “marriage.”
Given today’s prevailing politically correctness, it was startling to hear such forthright statements. “In your field, you will need ... (Continue reading)

Some months ago, I was in a Catholic bookshop looking for a certain book. By chance, I spotted a book entitled, Saint Gianna Molla. At the bottom of the cover, it said, “Wife, mother, doctor” under the picture of a beautiful young lady holding two babies in her arms. As I had never heard of Saint Gianna Molla, ...

How can we tell one political party from another?
You can’t! Recently, we had John Tory, the head of the official Tory opposition in Ontario, putting a hammer lock on his elected MPPs and forcing those poor wretches to vote for same-sex “marriage.” Tory didn’t want to make same-sex an issue. John ... (Continue reading)

The Watchman
During the fight for traditional marriage over the past two years, I encountered a troubling phenomenon among some evangelical Christians. A goodly number, including some pastors, couldn’t bring themselves to defend marriage, because they had the notion that this would be offensive to homosexuals. Some even held that to defend the truth of marriage was to act in a ... (Continue reading)

Those of us who participated in this year’s LifeChain in London, Ont., were greeted with many encouraging honks and friendly waves, as well as some expressions of strong disapproval of our peaceful, pro-life witness. Among the dissenters were three young ladies in a jeep that had stopped for a red light in front of where I was standing with ... (Continue reading)

Queen's Park Things have reached a bad point in the United States. I’ve noticed people don’t blame God anymore for hurricanes, earthquakes, typhoons and blizzards. Is that a bad sign – that they don’t believe in God anymore? People used to use the favourite phrase of insurance companies: “acts of God.” It was used when insurance companies faced financial-disaster payouts due to calamities like Hurricane Katrina. Now it’s “acts of Bush,” like in President ... (Continue reading)

I returned back from Ireland less than a week ago. I knew a column for The Interim was due, but could not think of any particular subject. I was both mentally and physically exhausted. Then, I received my daily dispatch from LifeSiteNews.com, in which there was a very important article entitled, “A plea for prayer for Colombia,” written by Dan Zeidler, who is a representative of the ...

The Secular Humanistic Society (which has a slogan: “You are good – if you do good”) sent me a communication recently, denouncing me for holding convictions that weren’t theirs. I’m guilty. I’m a creationist. I tell you guys, it takes a lot of faith to believe in the big bang theory – that it started the whole world ... (Continue reading)

Heb. 13:14
Same-sex “marriage” is now legal in Canada. People who hold to conservative values just have lost a major battle after a two-year struggle. Moreover, it was only two years ago that the government passed legislation giving permission to experiment ... (Continue reading)

Faith and Life I think it is true to say that most Christians have what we call their “patron saints”- that is to say, saints whose lives and principles appeal to them more than others. One of my patron saints is certainly Saint Thomas More, who was martyred in 1535 AD because he refused to support King Henry VIII’s divorce from the Spanish princess, Catherine of Aragon, and his “marriage” to Ann Boleyn, one of ...

Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee, the Republican majority leader in the United States Senate, is a medical professor, heart-transplant surgeon and sincere Christian, who spends much of his vacation time serving as a medical volunteer in clinics for AIDS patients in Africa. Speaking in the United States Senate on July 29, he made the best conceivable case for a bad cause – embryonic stem cell research. “I ... (Continue reading)

Media from all over Canada were present in this small town of Quebec to film the first moment of freedom of this killer after 12 years in prison. She is still considered dangerous after her participation with ex-husband Paul Bernardo in the horrible murders of two Ontario schoolgirls and of her own sister. Her release, after ...

I was having a nightmare recently on account of the Martin Liberals ramming through Bill C-38, when an angel interrupted my screaming. She shook me by the shoulders vigorously. “Frank! Wake up! Do you want to see the judgement of your former prime minister, Paul Martin, Jr.?”
“Is Paul Martin dead?” I wondered. I looked up startled. “Whaddya mean? That’s how you get up there.”
“Right. Paul Martin’s judgement is taking place ... (Continue reading)
