The Secular Humanistic Society (which has a slogan: “You are good – if you do good”) sent me a communication recently, denouncing me for holding convictions that weren’t theirs. I’m guilty. I’m a creationist. I tell you guys, it takes a lot of faith to believe in the big bang theory – that it started the whole world – when none of [...]
“For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for a city that is to come.” Heb. 13:14 Same-sex “marriage” is now legal in Canada. People who hold to conservative values just have lost a major battle after a two-year struggle. Moreover, it was only two years ago that the government passed legislation giving permission to experiment on [...]
I think it is true to say that most Christians have what we call their “patron saints”- that is to say, saints whose lives and principles appeal to them more than others. One of my patron saints is certainly Saint Thomas More, who was martyred in 1535 AD because he refused to support King Henry VIII’s divorce from the Spanish princess, Catherine [...]
Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee, the Republican majority leader in the United States Senate, is a medical professor, heart-transplant surgeon and sincere Christian, who spends much of his vacation time serving as a medical volunteer in clinics for AIDS patients in Africa. Speaking in the United States Senate on July 29, he made the best conceivable case for a bad cause – [...]
Karla Homolka was released July 4 from the prison of Ste. Anne des Plaines. Media from all over Canada were present in this small town of Quebec to film the first moment of freedom of this killer after 12 years in prison. She is still considered dangerous after her participation with ex-husband Paul Bernardo in the horrible murders of two Ontario schoolgirls [...]
I was having a nightmare recently on account of the Martin Liberals ramming through Bill C-38, when an angel interrupted my screaming. She shook me by the shoulders vigorously. “Frank! Wake up! Do you want to see the judgement of your former prime minister, Paul Martin, Jr.?” “Is Paul Martin dead?” I wondered. I looked up startled. “Whaddya mean? That’s how you [...]
Rory Leishman How can Paul Martin sleep at night? Judging from his public statements and frequent attendance at Mass, he sincerely considers himself a devout Catholic, yet has no compunction about publicly flouting the most solemn and authoritative moral teachings of his church. In an interview with a Vancouver radio station in June, Martin was asked specifically about his defiance of the [...]
The annual March for Life, which took place in May, was undoubtedly the most successful we have had so far. According to LifeSite News, it attracted more participants than ever before, with almost 6,000 attending the march on the Hill. But, perhaps the even better news is that it wasmostly made up of youth, who represented 60-70 per cent of the participants. [...]
Rev. Royal Hamel As this column is being written, same-sex “marriage” is still up in the air in Canada. Though legal and available in seven provinces and the Yukon, there is still no national law. Yet, the federal Liberals seem hell bent on imposing it on an unwilling public. And, apart from a miracle, it seems they have the numbers to push [...]
Hospital waiting lists are much in the news lately. I got a call from the federal government in Ottawa to serve on a committee seeking solutions. As a public-spirited citizen, I felt it was my duty to serve and I was also offered a shockingly outrageous stipend, which will make Judge Gomery blanch when he gets around to reviewing it. Well, you [...]
Rory Leishman In the morning of June 16, one of the most impressive pro-life demonstrations in the history of London occurred outside the gates of the University of Western Ontario. It was a peaceful and prayerful gathering of pro-lifers witnessing to the sanctity of all human life and deploring the shameful decision of the university to confer an honourary doctorate on Henry [...]
As a chaplain to the Knights of Columbus and a fourth degree member, I am proud to present to the readers of The Interim the following letter to all federal cabinet members. It is signed by the official members of the Ontario State Council of the Knights of Columbus and was sent to all federal cabinet ministers: On behalf of the 57,000 [...]
“We would appreciate your discretion in not publicizing our project or this survey.” So states the letter sent out in March announcing the “Crisis Pregnancy Centres” Project, courtesy of the Pro-Choice Action Network’s Joyce Arthur. I received my copy from one of the “sisters” it was addressed to, so I thought I would mention it to you in confidence. CPC’s around Canada [...]
Former U.S. president Bill Clinton was on the phone. “Frank, it’s me, Bill! Not Bill Gates! He was the one that suggested I call you and get the real lowdown on Canadian politics. He said if there was anybody who thinks he knows what’s going on in Canada, it’s you.” “Thanks,” I said lamely. “Say, how’s Belinda coming along? See her much?” [...]
Recently I was at a food court in downtown Toronto, reading the paper while grabbing some lunch. As the editor of The Interim, I have read and seen much of the moral decadence in our age and it seldom surprises me. But, for all this, I wasn’t prepared for the conversation that took place at the table next to mine. Three women [...]
