Canada’s House of Commons passes ‘anti-Christian’ bill that would criminalize quoting Bible Canada plans to criminalize God's revelation about sodomy and his creation of only two sexes -- male and female
Wed Mar 25, 2026 - 7:33 pm EDTThu Mar 26, 2026 - 12:19 pm EDT OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — The majority of Canadian MPs have voted to pass a Liberal bill that will allow the criminalization of religious expression and belief when quoting parts of the Bible, including about homosexuality and gender. Early Wednesday evening, MPs from the Liberal Party and the Bloc Québécois, in a 186–137 vote, passed Bill C-9, known as the “Combatting Hate Act.” Conservatives, NDP, and Green Party MPs voted against the bill in a rare form of unity among the usually opposing parties. The bill now heads to Canada’s rubber-stamp Senate for review. A last-minute effort by the Conservatives to change the wording of the bill failed to pass. Earlier this week, Liberal MPs forced the bill through the report stage, after earlier, as reported by LifeSiteNews, shutting down all debate on the bill in the committee stage. In comments sent to LifeSiteNews, Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) blasted the passage of …
Oxford student Samuel Williams, who chanted "put the Zios in the ground" at a pro-Palestine rally in October, will not stand trial for another two years. Yet somehow Lucy Connolly was in court in under a month.
Oxford University student Samuel Williams, who chanted “put the Zios in the ground” at a pro-Palestine rally in London in October, will not stand trial for another two years. The Mailhas the story. An Oxford University student is due to go on trial accused of allegedly making antisemitic chants at a pro-Palestine demonstration. Samuel Williams, 21, is accused of stirring up racial hatred at a Palestine Coalition demonstration in Whitehall, central London, on Saturday October 11th. He was charged last year and appeared before Southwark Crown Court today. He spoke to confirm his name and plead not guilty. He was given conditional bail and told a trial date was set for January 17th 2028. Williams was previously told he was not allowed to take part in Palestine-related protests inside the M25 or in Oxford as part of his bail. Williams was identified by the Daily Mail after the incident was caught on camera and shared on social media. “Zio” is an offensive reference to Zionists, and some …
Meditating on St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Bishop Erik Varden on the second day of the Lenten Spiritual Exercises for the Holy Father and the Roman Curia says: “On the face of it, the Cistercian project was conservative. Yet its protagonists introduced novelties. This dialectic was fruitful. Bernard’s confidence in his own judgement could make him flexible in the observance of conventional procedures he otherwise claimed to uphold. His view of the Church’s needs drove him sometimes to adopt rigid positions that involved fierce partisanship. But he was no hypocrite. He was a genuinely humble man, fully given to God, capable of tender kindness, a firm friend — indeed, able to befriend former enemies — and a compelling witness to God’s love. He was, and remains, fascinating.”
Life Illumined From the second conference of this week’s Lenten Retreat. Italian text below. What sort of man was St Bernard? Where did he come from? He towers over the twelfth-century Cistercian movement: such were his charisma and industriousness. Many people, including some who should know better, suppose he got the order going. He did not, of course; though he did make a splash when he turned up in 1113, aged 23, with a band of thirty companions. The monastery he joined, Cîteaux, was a project as much of innovation as of reform. The founders, who set it up in 1098, called their house novum monasterium. They were doing something new, not primarily reacting against anything, which is just as well, since projects of reaction sooner or later run into the sand. On the face of it, the Cistercian project was conservative. Yet its protagonists introduced novelties. This dialectic was fruitful. Bernard’s confidence in his own judgement could make him flexible in the observance of conventional …
The Lepanto Institute has asked Pope Leo XIV to laicize and suspend Fr. Steve Rosera of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. In an August 2025 report, Lepanto stated that Rosera entered a registered homosexual domestic partnership in San Francisco that lasted ten years during a 28-year leave from public ministry. The group submitted a notarized July 30, 2025 divorce document from the Superior Court of California for the County of San Francisco to the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Christophe Cardinal Pierre, requesting it be delivered to the pope. Lepanto said Rosera has been reinstated to ministry and serves as a parish pastor and marriage tribunal judge. The group stated that Archbishop John Wester has not imposed canonical sanctions.
Cardinal Dolan, Reverend A.R. Bernard to Lead NYPD Chaplains Unit By: The Good Newsroom New York Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch on Tuesday will name Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Reverend A.R. Bernard as co-chief chaplains of the department’s chaplains unit, the commissioner said Monday in a statement. “For more than a century, our Chaplains Unit has made sure that our officers never have to carry the tremendous weight of their work alone. They’ve helped officers find their better angels and remember the calling that lives at the heart of this work,” the commissioner said. The official announcement will be made as part of her “State of the NYPD” address on Tuesday. “As I was thinking about who should fill this role, one Hebrew word kept coming to mind — ‘Tzadik,’ a person of righteousness. “Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Reverend A.R. Bernard are two of the most righteous people this City has ever known. They are two men of incredible faith whose lives and leadership …

Leo XIV's "choice of consultors follows the trajectory set under Pope Francis. Figures associated with synodal processes, pluralist approaches to religion, and expansive readings of dialogue have again been elevated to advisory roles. No doctrinal rupture has been made, but the pattern reveals a sustained preference for voices formed in the post conciliar culture of openness."
"No doctrinal rupture has been made, but the pattern reveals a sustained preference for voices formed in the post conciliar culture of openness." What kind of language is that!? The V2 revolution as a whole is the very hallmark of the complete perversion of the Catholic Faith and Church doctrine.
Too funny. Leo should not "battle" Catholic cardinals or try to make Catholicism anything other than it was before Pope Bergoglio Francis. If Leo wants a more inclusive (globalist lingo) church, let Leo make a new church. Leo can make Catholicism better by abdicating.
As the Archdiocese of Dubuque finalizes its "Journey in Faith" plan, Catholics in northeast Iowa are grappling with parish consolidations, fewer weekend Mass sites, and a shift toward evangelism amid priest shortages and declining attendance.
Cut the crap... the real problem is not enough priests - even with church attendance in single digits. Reduce Mass locations? That just means you "hope" people will care enough to travel to get to a N.O. Mass far from their locale so it will "look" full. But the decline is still happening! There is NO increase!!
“They are an extraordinary family,” McGurn said in the interview. Lai’s wife, Teresa Lai, “is a rock. If Jimmy didn’t have Teresa to lean on, he knows it, he wouldn’t be strong. I mean, he has his faith, but she strengthens it. That’s what they have in common,” McGurn said.
Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Dec 16, 2025 / 07:00 am Catholic human rights and pro-democracy advocate Jimmy Lai was found guilty following his lengthy national security trial. Lai, 78, will be sentenced at a later date but faces up to life in prison. The Dec. 15 verdict “is important, and it’s not important,” Bill McGurn, Wall Street Journal columnist and godfather of Lai, told “EWTN News Nightly.” “It’s important because it’s part of the Hong Kong process, and everyone knew he would always be convicted. So it’s important because we have to get it out of the way,” McGurn said. “Jimmy cannot be released until he was convicted, and that’s why we had to wait all these years for the trial and then his conviction.” “On the other hand, it was always this charade … the world sees it for what it is. And so in Jimmy Lai’s world, it’s not really a big milestone because it’s phony. Everything about it is phony,” McGurn said. ‘The real work begins now’ While the verdict was guilty, it is …
“Many abortion workers have some faith,” explained ATTWN marketing and communications director Karen Herzog. “Each year, we choose a Christmas card with a Holy Family scene. The nuns write handwritten notes inside, letting the person who opens the cards and hopefully everyone else working there, know that religious sisters are praying for them to choose to leave the abortion industry.”
Cardinal Mario Grech knew you couldn’t wait, so he dropped you a little appetizer of a publication that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of this phase of the Synod’s implementation process.” Let’s dive in. Actually, since the summary is 11,359 words long all by itself, why don’t I just summarize the summary and give you the highlights?
Members of Minnesota’s Somali community have been involved in a scheme to defraud Medicaid by falsely diagnosing children with autism and sending the money to Al-Shabaab. It cites a sharp rise in Medicaid spending on autism services and an increase in autism centers as evidence, though no verified sources are provided. Look at the insane spike in claims: 2018: $3 million 2023: $399 million
These animals do not care. They are termites who feed upon us and then give the products to other lands. REMEMBER, it was Catholic charities who sponsored most of these beasts into our nation., and the blame goes mainly to them.
Optimistic Reading of Current Church Trajectory: “a lot of renewal in Catholic education” “a real hope and a frontier that is opening up” “Catholic revival driven especially by young men”
