“Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security.”
Now, that is a powerful statement. But, we have to ask ourselves, what does it really mean? What does it mean to declare to the world, and all who care to listen, that life is a right? The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, an international initiative of human partisanship, has ... (Continue reading)

Rev. Royal Hamel “Don’t ever compromise. Your goal should be to please God, not please man” – Carrie Prejean
The U.S.A., at this moment, is engaged in an escalating culture war on the issue of same-sex “marriage.” If the battle plays out as it did in Canada, many Christians and many churches will largely run for cover, instead of speaking clearly what the Bible has taught for 2,000 years. But, like a voice crying ... (Continue reading)

If you believe the critics, the most watched shows in America today are Mad Men, Damages, Rescue Me, Breaking Bad and Weeds, and not American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, NCIS, Grey's Anatomy and CSI: Miami. While average ratings for the big networks are falling, it's a testament to the profound gravity and cultural triumph of "quality cable" - the roster of dramas airing their short but well-publicized seasons on ...

Despite the resounding victory for Barack Obama and the Democrats on Nov. 4, the state-level referenda sent a mixed signal on whether the U.S. is moving left or right on social issues. While exit polls showed moral issues were less important than in other recent elections, about one-quarter to one-third still gave moral issues serious consideration when casting ballots for president, senator or Congressman and pro-life ...

The Humanae Vitae conference, which took place Nov. 15 at St. Michael's College in Toronto, attracting an overflow crowd and was a great success, according to organizers and participants. The conference was organized to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Pope Paul VI's 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae (On Human Life), which reaffirmed Catholic church teaching against contraception in the wake of the advent of the birth control pill....

It is always fascinating to see how modern Western man and modern Western woman obsess about not being judgemental when what they really mean is that their opponents should not say anything critical about the more sensitive issues of the day. Fine, for example, to say the most acid things about a conservative or a Christian, but terribly "judgement" to utter ... (Continue reading)

Sometimes we in the media merely play a game. Making little ripples at the side of the water rather than diving right in to make an almighty splash. In other words, we run around the edge of various problems and debates but are afraid to shine light on the authentic dilemmas of our age.... (Continue reading)

Reflecting on the Revolution What is education for? The development of character? Or the acquisition of a marketable skill? These are not new questions.
In “Against the Sophists,” the ancient Greek philosopher Isocrates argued that character should be king in education. Isocrates believed that education is primarily about the development of the learner’s character. Isocrates did not oppose the development of ... (Continue reading)

In a 4-3 decision on May 15, the California Supreme Court imposed, through judicial fiat, same-sex ‘marriage’ on the Golden State, disregarding both the sanctity of marriage and the will of the people.
In 2000, Californians adopted Proposition 22 to protect marriage and maintain its definition as a union between one man and one woman, and expressly prohibiting the state ... (Continue reading)

The Senate passed Bill C-2, the Tackling Violent Crime Act, an omnibus crime bill that included a provision for raising Canada’s age of sexual consent from 14 to 16. At 14, Canada had one of the lowest ages of consent for sexual activity, but is now in line with most of the Western world, where ages of consent typically range from 16 to 18 years of age....

"Hassan!” I called. “Come back with it!” He was already turning the street corner, his rubber boots kicking up snow. He stopped, turned. He cupped his hands around his mouth. “For you, a thousand times over!” he said.

Commentary Michael Coren
True wisdom begins with the fear and love of God. True knowledge, however, requires reading. And if we do not read, we are rejecting the great communication given us by our Creator to appreciate, understand and enjoy. Literature is a force for light and good, too often abandoned to those who dance in very different places.... (Continue reading)

The spring 2007 issue of Conscience, the publication of a nefarious group of abortion promoters who call themselves, strangely enough, “Catholics for a Free Choice,” has announced its new president. Jon O’Brien, who worked as program manager at the International Planned Parenthood Federation’s European Bureau in London, replaces Frances Kissling.
Kissling steps aside after ... (Continue reading)
