We’ve all heard of the phrase “preferential option for the poor”.  Well now it turns out that Bishop Nicola De Angelis of the diocese of Peterborough has decided to opt for another kind of preference – the option of permitting Catholics in his diocese to decline giving money to the pro-aborts in the Global South. While this is not the best solution, it is a good step in the right direction.  First of all, it means a loss of revenue for Development & Peace.  To what degree is yet to be determined, but even if it was a salutory percentage – say 20% – that is 20% less funds the pro-aborts will be getting from Peterborough. That is a small, but practical victory for us.  Secondly, the Catholic Church is now officially re...

Re: The secret plot to destroy Britain’s identity

The originator of “multiculturalism” as a policy and ideology was Pierre Eliot Trudeau and his cadre.  Canada now has the highest per capita immigration rate in the world.   The multiculturalist ideology then spread throughout the Western world – our chief export. 

While the birth dearth of European peoples has since made large-scale immigration a virtual necessity the policy actually began before this was clear, back in the early 1970s.  It appears Trudeau wanted to weaken the bi-cultural (English-French) nature of the country and its Christian identity.  It had nothing to do with increasing the work-force.  Yet now everyone, including Church leaders, sing the praises of the success of this insidious ideologically driven program.  This reminds me of a quote from Dostoevsky: “It is not possible to...

Folks, check out this site which another Catholic blogger has started.  (These damn trouble-making Catholic bloggers are revolutionizing the Church!)

The time is right now to ask your bishop to join the list of bishops restricting the enabling of abortion advocacy in the Global South.  We need to pick up on the recent momentum and finish the job. 

March 21 is the Lenten Collection here in Ottawa. For Ottawa residents, I ask you to write to Archbishop Prendergast and respectfully ask him to follow the lead of Toronto and Pembroke.   Ask for a public statement also.  Catholics have a right to know where their money is going.  So far, the bishops have not been forthcoming with this information despite the overwhelming evidence against Development & Peace.  Frankly, I’m not sure which is a greater scandal:  the fact that Canadian Catholic money is going to pro-abort groups or th...

…In a letter in the Canadian Medical Association Journal in 2009, Dr. Rene Leiva cites a 2006 Salvadorian Ministry of Health study. Until 1998, abortion was legal in El Salvador and the maternal mortality ratio was calculated to be 150 per 100,000 births. Abortions were no longer legally permitted after 1998, and by 2006 the maternal mortality ratio had dropped to 71.2, or by more than 50 per cent.

Guyana, with virtually no restrictions on abortions, has the highest maternal mortality ratio in South America. According to the World Economic Forum report, its maternal mortality rate is 30 times higher than in Chile, where abortion is illegal.

There is also research evidence that abortion can have a detrimental impact on a woman’s psychological health. In a 2008 study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, researchers linked abortion to “an increased risk of a variety of mental health problems (panic attacks, panic disorder, agorapho...

Maybe Al Gore’s been advised by legal counsel to lie low. He may be the leader of the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) movement, but he’s not defending it in public, not even when it’s falling apart and his new fortune is based upon it.

Mr. Gore and his financial backers earned millions of dollars in start-up “green” companies and carbon trading schemes. If the scam worked, he could’ve become the first “carbon billionaire.”

“What goes up can fall down” applies to ill-gotten gains in the stock market or “carbon trading” schemes. In such schemes, it’s foreseeable that trusting investors will (a) not only get hurt when the scam collapses, but they’ll also (b) pursue legal remedies and sue him for fraud.

Mr. Gore’s financial gains were based on the contradictory and error-plagued assertion that man’s release of the trace gas CO2 will fry the planet .

TABER, Alberta, February 18, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Citing the growing popularity of a new socially conservative political party in Alberta, noted writer, lawyer, blogger and conservative political activist Ezra Levant told a meeting of pro-life activists last Friday that “for the first time in 40 years” a window of opportunity exists for pro-life activists in the province to get their views across to elected officials.

“There is a new dynamic in this province. And for the first time in 40 years, it’s a little bit easier to get the government’s attention,” Levant said at the Taber Pro-Life Banquet, held at Taber Christian School.

“There are about 75 MLAs right now who are very, very worried about a new party called the Wildrose Alliance,” Levant explained. “And for the first time, you’re getting calls back from...

I can support protests, especially considering the way Harper has put democracy on hold in Canada using the Olympics as an excuse. I can also understand that during the preparation for the Olympics, a lot of poor people were displaced - especially the homeless (in Beijing people were actually rendered homeless, something that happened to some degree in Canada as well).

Big business stands to benefit from the Olympics through advertising and construction of Olympic facilities. Though where in modern society do big business not benefit? They benefit from Christmas a lot... so should we not demonstrate against Christmas as well?

Yes, it's true, the Olympics have in the past been used by despots to promote themselves, but they do have an important function in the World as they bring many countri
