This past Tuesday we celebrated the memorial of St. Phillip Neri. He started the Congregation of the Oratory, and over 500 hundred years later the association is still welcoming priests and lay people to its spiritual and corporal works. Here's the wonderful reflection of the day from the Magnificat. It's written by the saint and titled, "The Hundredfold of the Spiritual Life." It is not a good thing to load ourselves with many spiritual exercises; it is better to undertake a little, and go on with it; for if the devil can persuade us to omit an exercise once, he will easily get us to omit it the second time, and the third, until at last all our pious practices will melt away. We must take care of little faults; for he who once begins to go back and to make light of such defects brings a sort of grossness over his conscience, and then goes wrong altogether…. When a person who has been living a spiritual life for a long time falls into a serious fault, there is no better way of raising …
Mon May 25, 2026 - 3:20 pm EDTTue May 26, 2026 - 7:19 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Tech mogul and Tesla founder Elon Musk has promoted a video of LifeSiteNews’ own Frank Wright in which our reporter gives his views on why the both United Kingdom and the West in general are in decline today. The video, which has been seen over 40 million times, was posted by Vox Populi on May 23 and shared by Musk on X without comment on May 24. Wright made the detailed comments – fluently and without notes – while on the Restore Britain campaign trail in Makerfield, England, near Manchester, over the weekend. “I remember when we used to live in a sane, functioning, stable, and relatively happy country,” says Wright in the video, which has been reshared on X by LifeSiteNews. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2058438480334664146 LifeSite’s @frankwrighter explains why the U.K. is failing in viral video viewed by over 40 million people. pic.twitter.com/kJicpsce0V — LifeSiteNews (@LifeSite) May 25, 2026 …
The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board trustees will have a special meeting tonight to revisit their neutral flag policy to not fly the pride flag in June, at Board schools and properties. The Archdiocese of Toronto has also made its position public. His Eminence Frank Cardinal Leo made it clear last year before the flag vote was taken that Catholics celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus during the month of June. In addition he wrote, We need to make sure that the symbols we use are consistent with our Catholic faith and not borrowed from ideological fora, promoted by lobby groups and endorsed by political movements. We ought to honour and respect our traditions and not compromise the integrity of the faith by using symbols that are contrary to God’s divine revelation. We do good to use our own symbols to tell our own story without resorting to trendy, misguided and inadequate symbols that do not represent us as Catholics but rather contribute to confusion, distortions and …
Today Pope Leo XIV released his encyclical letter, Magnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence." Some of the issues the document addresses are Artificial Intelligence, tranhumanism and human dignity in an age of materialism, social media and technology. We got an email message from a friend about the new papal encyclical and with his permission we post it. I was diving deep into Pope Leo’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas. It's all about how the Church views artificial intelligence and the digital age, and I thought you might find it interesting. The original document is a bit long, so I made a quick breakdown of what it covers for you to read quickly if you're interested: Big Tech The Pope first points out that unlike older industrial shifts driven by governments, AI is mostly controlled by massive private tech companies, making regulation for the common good much harder. He notes that AI is already altering decisions that shape …
No! I can not imagine trump speaking anything worth hearing. He hardly ever gives credit to those who deserve it. If or when he does, it goes back to himself. Giving himself credit for things that don't exist or that is true. Only in his sick mind.
If I understand the Canadian situation correctly, Carney was the 'shadow' PM for puppet Trudeau, so any critique of the previous regime becomes a critique of Carney himself, to which he is unlikely to listen, no matter how reasonable. I pray for Canada and all Canadians.
We always had sex exploitation problem but what put gasoline on the fire was the pill (sex drugs rock & roll ) hedonism instant gratification spills into modern catholic liturgy .Modern Seminaries hot bed of me orientated theology instead will of God
In October 2022, the Association québécoise pour l’éducation à domicile (AQED) filed a safeguard order in the Quebec Superior Court on behalf of over 1,800 homeschooling families to prevent the government from forcing home-schooled students to attend schools and take in-person ministerial tests. Here's three of the Homeschooling Association's concern: 1. The Ministry of Education is threatening homeschooling families with the right to withdraw their children’s right to home schooling unless they agree to submit them to ministerial examinations, regardless of whether they are able or not to do them. 2. All parents who have or fail to provide the (the Direction de l’enseignement à la maison) DEM with proof that their children have passed the ministerial exams will see or will see their right of exemption from attending school cancelled. Court intervention is urgently needed since the 2022-2023 school year is already underway. 3. In Quebec, it should be remembered that more than 50%…
They lost their court case but made a valiant effort. At this point in time without Catholics fulfilling Our Lady of Fatima's request we will not have satisfaction in a court system controlled by the enemies of Christ's Kingship. Public education today is Marxist in nature and an "Error of Russia." I am sorry for them. Fortunately for us in Idaho we have very liberal homeschool laws.
When the state legislates and promotes a culture of death, what do you get? Death on demand, while the top politicians tell the citizenry that what’s most important are better trade relations with China and they care about your well being. It’s a big LIE.
May 21 "A Nation Deceived: Comprehensive sex ed uses grooming and propaganda to shape minds" Live Action has posted a timely article about the harm done by comprehensive sex-education in public schools. In Ontario, the radical sex-curriculum was implemented in 2009, in both separate and public schools, under the guise of Equity and Inclusive Education. Sounds positive but it's not. Parents do read this informative post and find out what's is being taught to your children in your community school. You may be shocked as innocent children are being exposed to explicit, inappropriate and dangerous sexual content. Do whatever is needed to protect your children. May 21 Canadians don't want to become another Chinada Former Liberal PM Justin Trudeau loved to tell Canadians that he admired China because they could turn their economy on a dime. He also said that Canada was a post-nation state with no core values. He conveniently forgot to tell Canadians that China is a Communist country, and that …
What everyone should know about misoprostol-only abortions Carole Novielli · Richard Dur, the executive director of Prolife Alberta, recently wrote an op-ed in which he shared the shocking statistic that 17 babies were born alive following botched abortions in the province of Alberta, Canada, in 2025. According to Dur, none of those babies received medical treatment following their births; instead, all were left to die. Reports reveal that 17 babies were born alive following botched abortions in Alberta in 2025. According to Prolife Alberta, those babies were all left to die. Canadian law states that any child born alive is required to receive medical care, yet Alberta Health Services policy appears to let parents and doctors decide whether or not a baby will be given treatment. Alberta Health Minister Adriana LaGrange has promised to look into the matter. The information shared in Dur's exposé is also found on the website lefttodie.ca, which confirms that the numbers were provided …

(This article appeared in the pages of the Frontier Centre on May 7th) By Marco Navarro-Genie The University of Lethbridge creates the conditions it later cites to restrict free speech On the afternoon of April 25, Frances Widdowson, a former Mount Royal University professor, walked into a near-empty cafeteria at the University of Lethbridge (UofL) and sat down with a student for coffee. She was not holding a rally. She was not disrupting a class. Just a woman of grandmotherly age having a conversation, which is, one might have thought, the foundational act of university life. Lethbridge police arrested her for trespassing. The trespass order exists because university bureaucrats declared Widdowson a health and safety risk. It is worth pausing on that phrase before …
Mon May 18, 2026 - 9:16 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — It has become clear to anyone watching over the past decade that the sexual revolution is, in fact, a zero-sum game. The latest news on this file is an elementary school in Winnipeg that has decided to eliminate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day presents in favor of family gifts, which the National Postnoted is “part of a new trend among some Canadian schools downplaying or eliminating the traditional parental celebrations.” This, of course, is in recognition of the fact that since the legal redefinition of family and marriage, there are motherless and fatherless families – not due to tragedy or family breakup, but by design. READ: Texas Children’s Hospital to create first-ever ‘detransition clinic’ in historic settlement Sage Creek School is the latest institution to adopt the trend, with first- and second-grade teachers letting parents know before Mother’s Day of the change, which was made “to respect the diversity of families that …
