Very little is left of a northern Alberta Catholic church that went up in flames early Thursday morning.
RCMP said a blaze at an inactive Catholic church in Fort Chipewyan was reported at 2:34 a.m.
A community member identified the building as the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Roman Catholic Church, built in 1909.
Over 50 churches so far. Trudeau sanctioned this pogrom.
The Atlantic’s piece on the Rosary as an extremist symbol is the funniest thing I’ve read in years
I’m one of the many, many millions who repeatedly reread P.G. Wodehouse. His humour is a balm and his writing a miracle of tone and diction. I also, since first tasting him in high school — The Marine Excursion of the Knights of Pythias, later changed to The Sinking of the Mariposa Belle was the story — revisit Stephen Leacock.
The Atlantic changed headlines multiple times in response to massive backlash over an op-ed that compared the Catholic rosary to an “assault weapon.”
Authored by Daniel Panneton, the article, originally titled, “How the Rosary Became an Extremist Symbol,” featured a rosary that had bullet holes in place of beads and argued that the Catholic sacramental had become a tool of violent militants.
In Finland, two people were tried simply for quoting the Bible
In 17th Century Europe, you’d have swung for blaspheming against the dominant church of the day. In 2022, you can now be criminalised for professing the scripture of that same faith.
A Bishop and a parliamentarian have been tried for ‘hate speech’ in Finland, in this case for merely quoting and affirming biblical views. In 2019 MP Päivi Räsänen, grandmother of seven, had sent a tweet, accompanied by a Bible verse, criticising her church for co-sponsoring the Helsinki Pride parade.
The current text of Democrats’ massive “Build Back Better” entitlement bill contains provisions that would require religious child-care providers to disavow longstanding theology about sex in order to receive federal child-care funds under a massive new early childhood program.

What to make of Christians embracing the U.N. and denying Christ?

Visiting a classroom in a Catholic school, of a well-known prelature. I’m surprised to notice that they have removed the crucifix that used to be on the wall. Instead, outside the classroom, on a cork board, there is a huge mural colored by the children. It represents an enlarged multicolored logo of the 2030 Agenda, and a load of children’s postcards contain the students’ proposals for implementing the 17 UN goals. You know what they are: end poverty, raise taxes daily, ride donkeys on highways, have abortions at all hours, and recite the litanies of the criminal Tedros Adhanom every night.
Edmonton NDP MLA Janis Irwin mocked Jesus and the Bible, used bully tactics, interfered with a citizen’s right to free speech, and encouraged vigilantism against a street preacher.
And she sported a huge grin during a stunning display of reprehensibly rabid intolerance on Friday.
Scholars rightly take umbrage when pundits and activists exploit their work for political purposes. The latest example, at least in religious circles, is the way in which a new book, “Secular Surge: A New Fault Line in American Politics,” is being received by militant secularists.
