Trinity Western decision gets mixed reviews

On May 17, the Supreme Court of Canada (SCOC) ruled that the British Columbia College of Teachers cannot discriminate against Trinity Western University because of the school's teaching on homosexuality, a decision which is being viewed as a partial victory for religious freedom in Canada. The BCCT, which accredits teachers in B.C., claimed that TWU's "Community Standards" document which is signed by [...]

The Bible As Hate Literature

Hugh Owens may well be the first Canadian ever fined for quoting the Bible, but unless Canadian Christians wake up from their apathetic slumbers and mount a counterattack against the persecutorial tyranny of kangaroo court human rights commissions, he won't be the last. The Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission has ordered both Owens and the Saskatoon StarPhoenix newspaper to pay $1,500 to three [...]

D&P funds Quebec City ‘Peoples Summit’

On the heels of the scandal of its $135,000 donation to the pro-abortion World March of Women, the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace has again been caught donating large sums of money to an event controlled by abortion supporters. The B.C. Catholic reported April 23 that the Canadian Catholic bishops' official social justice agency set aside $140,000 of church members' donations [...]

He is risen for you and me

Another Easter. Remembered by some, ignored by others or exploited as a mere few days break from work. We in the pro-life movement tend to know its real meaning. First He is interrogated, abused, threatened, both by the imperialist thugs who have raped His country and by the collaborators who have allowed the invaders to have their way. Then a group of [...]

March of Women’s pro-abortion lobbying forces Catholic groups to take action

DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE STILL 'PROUD' OF ITS PARTICIPATION Nearly a year after LifeSite first broke the story of the $135,000 donation from the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP) to the pro-abortion World March of Women (WMW), the CCODP has finally disassociated itself from the feminist project. The reason given by CCODP for the move is the CCODP "has learned [...]

Turner, Hillary and other banalities

You couldn't make it up. I mean, really, you couldn't make it up. The way various actors, media figures and fellow travellers have rallied around Al Gore and Hillary Clinton, often motivated by support for abortion and homosexuality. Ted Turner was there, of course. And he is typical of the breed. Remember Ted? In 1990 the founder of CNN and vice-chairman of [...]

Election 2000 saw new signs of hope among Protestant and Catholic leaders

By Paul Tuns The Interim The head of the political arm of Canada's pro-life movement took a better-late-than-never approach to the prominence some religious leaders gave to abortion as an election issue for Christians to consider as they cast their votes on November 27.

On religion and public life

Stockwell Day told a TV audience at the beginning of the election campaign that he prays for journalists who ridicule his religious faith. Surely not individually by name. He would have time for little else. Appearing on the Christian talk show 100 Huntley Street, Day specifically referenced a Toronto Stararticle about him that sarcastically signed off with "God bless his holy-roller Pentecostal soul." The Starwriter [...]

Memories of a perfect September day

By Mary Ellen Douglas The Interim It seems the pro-life family has experienced so many difficult and trying problems in the last short whole. Two million babies killed in their mothers' wombs, the arrival of chemical abortions, attacks on born children, and the threats and reality of euthanasia. But God in His infinite mercy chose to bless us with the happiest event [...]

Words to vote by

I am committed never again to cast a vote for a politician who would kill one innocent baby. These little ones have no defense except that which we provide for them. Never will I use my influence, however remotely, to support the shedding of their blood. If [one party] wants to defend "a woman's right to choose," and [another] wants to build [...]

Fr. Ben Hermann OMI - a big man who cast a giant shadow By Margaret Purcell The Interim Those who keep archives will say that Fr. Bernard Michael Hermann was born on Oct. 21, 1922 in Odessa, Sask.

World March feminists trumpet bishop’s support

London's Bishop Sherlock denounces misrepresentation of his endorsment The Interim One of the feared outcomes of the support by Catholic leaders of the pro-abortion World March of Women 2000 has been realized. Abortion advocates are implying in their literature that Canada's Catholic bishops are fully in support of the march without reservations. The Toronto Organizing Committee of the World March of Women [...]
