Update – Religion

The pro-life issue is the most decisive as well as the most divisive issue of our times.  That’s why it pops up almost everywhere even in unexpected places.  Take, for example, the Catholic synod being held on Vancouver Island. Synod in Victoria The R.C. diocese of Victoria, B.C., under the Most Rev. Remi De Roo, is holding a diocesan Synod.  A synod [...]

Toronto Anglican Archbishop, Terence Finlay said he [...]

Conference offers hope for homosexuals

It was a foretaste of heaven to stand in Toronto’s Convocation Hall with five hundred people, most of them former ‘gays’ and lesbians, and sing in unison, “Amazing Grace.” “It didn’t seem to matter what background we came from, gay, ex-gay, straight, alcoholic, we all had the same love for the Lord and it shone through,” one delegate said. University of Toronto’s [...]

The ‘gay’ drive for acceptance

The Interim will continue to keep readers informed about the drive of homosexuals and lesbians for social acceptance, legal protection and equality of status.  Our purpose is and remains to raise awareness about this anti-life, anti-family movement. Editor 1: THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA On June 23 ‘gays’ and lesbians in Ottawa held their first parade ever.  Some 500 people were said [...]

In my opinion

A bushel of bad advice PETER DALGLISH: GOOD MAN – WRONG CAUSE It is sad to interview a guy who is well-intentioned, but stubbornly insists on giving out bad advice to all and sundry. Peter Dalglish gave up a legal career and what he said was a “six-figure salary” in order to create Street Kids International, an organization which promotes independence and [...]

You were asking

What or who is a thanatist?  H.E., Winnipeg, Manitoba. The word comes from the Greek word for ‘death.’  Today, a thanatist is a person whose professional calling or function, is to kill someone whose life is judged by others to be of no value, e.g., the terminally ill, the handicapped newborn, the elderly. It has already been suggested that there is a [...]

The EDITORIAL Violence against women

“Wives should regard their husbands as they regard the Lord…Husbands should love their wives just as Christ loved the Church…”  (Ephesians 5:21-24) It is no good for pro-lifers to run with the hounds in pursuit of radical change in the current society.  Our July editorial noted that the anti-life frame of mind cannot be changed piecemeal and the August editorial that there [...]

The loneliness of the long distance parent

IT’S ‘BACK TO SCHOOL’ TIME, A MIX OF NOSTALGIA AND NEW BEGINNINGS. In our family, it’s a first, as our almost-four-year-old son will be off to pre-school two afternoons a week. He’s delighted, of course, but veteran moms out there will laugh to learn that I’m a wreck. Like most mothers in my situation, I already miss the time I won’t be [...]

Parents: Watch what your children are being taught First of two parts

The following is another horror story of modern education. The Christian apologist, G.K. Chesterton once said: “When somebody stops believing in Christianity, he doesn’t stop believing.  From then on, he believes in anything at all.” As the educational system abandons Christianity, any number of harebrained superstitions threaten to take its place. The day that parents could leave their children safely in the [...]

Two Canadian women pass away

Mrs. Grace MacInnis died in Vancouver in August.  In the 1960’s she was the only woman MP in the House of Commons.  As the daughter of CCF founder J.S. Woodsworth, a one time United Church Minister, she imbibed the socialist worldview with her mother’s milk.  This view interprets Christianity as essentially a social reform movement. Unabashed champion As the NDP member for [...]

RC school officials press for condom policy

In April, Toronto Archbishop Aloysius Ambrozic issued a strongly worded ‘no’ to condoms as a solution to the spread of AIDS or as a contraceptive.  Yet, York Separate (Catholic) School Board (YSSB) may place its stamp of approval on a revised policy that will contain an explanation of how condom use may prevent AIDS. Circumvent “It seems like the York Region Separate [...]

CMA: Fetus may be a baby

The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) sprang a surprise at its annual convention.  The ethics committee recommended that a fetus be considered a baby after all, sometime around its 20th week of life.  Feminists were enraged.  Women will continue to be slaves to their wombs, said one. Abortion hearings In November, 1990, at the Senate abortion hearings on Bill C-43, the CMA delegation [...]
