Editorial: Bishop Henry’s line in the sand
Canada’s Catholic hierarchy is being reminded why even the “Lord” backed down in a contretemps with Calgary’s Bishop Emeritus Fred Henry. At the very least, they will learn again that His Grace is not for turning.
Editorial: Good intentions gone bad, again
The culture wars have kicked up yet another reductio ad absurdum ruckus with the revelation that a pro-diversity website at Johns Hopkins University defined lesbians as non-men attracted to other non-men.

Jesus’ Resurrection showed us He truly is the Messiah, the Son of God.
