Editorial: Turn to prayer
By Catholic Register EditorialThe images are still so fresh in our memories, the feelings still so easily recalled, that it is incredible to realize that 20 years have passed since the events of a day that will always be known as 9/11.
Editorial: Vaccine justice
By Catholic Register EditorialIt’s easy for Canada to be smug about its COVID-19 vaccination rate, but we can’t afford that luxury — not when so much of the world is still starving for vaccine relief.
Editorial: Vandals solve nothing
By Catholic Register EditorialFirst it was grief, then it was anger, then it was destruction.

Despite all the stories of abuse at residential schools, despite the chronicling of horrors in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report of 2015, despite the history of systemic racism that has victimized Canada’s Indigenous people … this news rips opens wounds that have not even come close to healing.
