God as “Lawgiver” and “Judge” is precisely what is at stake in Canada today. In an age of economic, social, and cultural transition the rules of God, so to speak, have to be relearned and reaffirmed all over again on pain of losing them altogether and thereby becoming “secular.” The greater the intensity of the transition, [...]
The November issue of Flare magazine ran an ad for Julius Schmid condoms (on page 58) which pictured a baby and labeled it a “mistake.” Printing a photograph of innocent healthy newborns and labeling them “mistakes” is a blatant promotion of the anti-life philosophy of the pro-abortionists. The last issue of the advertisement copy even suggests that an unwanted pregnancy [...]
On Monday, November 19, Dorval City Council approved a zoning bylaw that would banish massage parlours, strip joints, erotica shops, tanning studios and abortion clinics to an industrial part of town. The businesses would be relegated to a district now used mostly by trucking firms. The draft bylaw “depicts the moral pasture of the community,” said Dorval Mayor, Peter [...]
On Sunday November 4 more than 100 doctors gathered for the annual Toronto Catholic Doctor’s Guild meeting. This year, mass and dinner took place at St. Michael’s College at the University of Toronto in downtown Toronto. The Guild was formed to be a pro-life and pro-family presence in a profession in which many have accepted pro-abortion and anti-family philosophies. [...]
The November Interim story on Rubella vaccine WI-38 was printed with the realization that experimentation on aborted babies, and even babies about to be aborted, is an ongoing enterprise around the world. We would draw the attention of our readers to the hidden and extensive nature of this hideous further refinement of the evil of abortion with the following [...]
Two women bore children at the same time. One woman's child died and she laid claim to the other woman's baby. This case of disputed motherhood was brought before Solomon, the wisest of judges. Since he had no means of establishing who the rightful mother was, he offered to cut the baby in half. He depended upon the love of the real [...]
In the Lunches with Leaders talk on women's issues during the last electoral campaign, Brian Mulroney said that he personally did not believe in abortion but that we live in a pluralistic society and he did not wish to impose his views on anyone else. Unless and until we have proof to the contrary, we must regard Mr. Mulroney as an honorable [...]
Almost from its beginnings, Cité Libre and, subsequently, Trudeau were charged with "undermining the Church." Writing for Relations, the Jesuit monthly, in 1951-52, M. J. d'Anjou, sj, and Richard Arès,sj, addressed this aspect of Cité Libre. Also in 1952, charges of "leftist infiltration" were made by Patrick Walsh, an informant for the RCMP. This was followed by another controversy, between Trudeau and [...]
The latest Gallup Poll on sex education and birth control, commissioned by the Planned Parenthood Federation (PPF) of Canada, has ascertained that 94 per cent of Canadian adults (1,000 were interviewed) believe parents should discuss sex and sexual behaviour with their children. Also, 83 per cent believe sex education should be taught in schools (just under half of this group want classes [...]
In 1982 most abortions were performed by suction D&C and by saline. The chances of an unborn child being born alive dwindled from an almost perfect 99.7 per cent to 45.2 per cent in 1982. Thirty years ago, in 1954, a total of 11 therapeutic abortions were performed at Toronto General Hospital. By 1982 that 11 had mushroomed into an incredible 2484 [...]
The Kingston General Hospital board of directors has announced the formation of a task force to review the hospital's policies and programmers relating to abortion. Trustee Mary Van dewater, past president of the Women's Aid and long-time hospital volunteer will head the 6-member task force, which is expected to conduct the study within one year. The review is in response to a [...]
You're 35 years old, or 40, or 45, but there you are, crawling on all fours and barking like a dog, while your little toddler howls hysterically and tries to hoist herself up onto the back of the barking monster. Or you're pulling and eager three-year-old onto your lap, her favorite "blankie" wrapped around, comfortably settling in for another episode from the [...]
Trudeau's views on the secular state have been constant. In September 1971 the United Church Observer printed interviews with the four political leaders; only one, Réal Caouette of the Créditistes, was prepared to think of Canada in its public life as a Christian country. Ten years later, Prime Minister Trudeau presented his new Constitution to the Canadian people. When critics queried the [...]
There is an immense difference between the philosophy of feminism (in essence a belief in civil rights for women) and the actions of those now in the women's movement, with its emphasis on "women first" and "let men and children manage ton the left-overs." This philosophical difference is highlighted in an Australian book, Women Who Do & Women Who Don't (Join the [...]
Abraham Lincoln, a great American president, had a simple but profound formula for government in a free society. "...government of the people, by the people, for the people." All freedom-loving Canadians concur with Lincoln. It is a formula that works. But it must be won and kept with determination, sacrifice, and eternal vigilance. How do we rate as a free nation? All [...]
