Minutes before this incident, Fr. Molinari preached the following in his homily:
“All of us are going to die. Sometimes the time we have spent on things has far less meaning than the time we spend with God, the quality time we give to God, to our brothers and sisters, to our husbands, wives, children and families. That is the time best spent.”
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

This is a qualified victory, but a real one. If assisted suicide had been expanded to the mentally ill, thousands of people struggling with depression, anxiety, and scores of other conditions would have qualified for a lethal injection--and taken it.
As someone who knows and loves many people who struggle with mental illness and would have qualified, I am very grateful. The fight to protect Canada's vulnerable continues.
Sean Fraser @SeanFraserMP has announced that Canada will scrap the expansion of MAiD for mental illness BUT will legalise “advance directives” for MAiD.

This is an old story. A post-1960s story. France is now running the American white guilt formula.
We know how this grift works. White guilt is black power. The "oppressed" black and minority leaders sell victimhood for power. The "oppressor" whites buy their innocence with deference, programs and lower expectations. Both sides get what they want, except the children, who are mere pawns.
So this mayor stands with students blockading their own school and tells the cameras that violence can be legitimate, just as Black Lives Matter activists called the 2020 looting reparations. He is selling their grievance, expecting France to buy it out of the terror of being called colonial and racist.
No matter what France does, it loses. Every attempt to restore order becomes a new grievance for the "oppressed," and they will never give it up, because it is the only power they have. The white guilt elites only care about their innocence. After all, they see their own nation as the oppressor. So the decline continues.
That is why white guilt is the most destructive force in America and the West.

I predict the Liberals will scrap the expansion of MAID for mental illness as a sole condition while moving to legalize death for dementia by expanding MAID by advance request nationwide.
Persons with dementia are becoming the newest target of Canada's MAID regime.

Why men -- especially conservative men -- won't go to therapy:
The weird thing about the American Psychological Association (APA) is that every objective observer has known that it's been ideologically captured by the Left since the 1970s.
That's the main reason why the Association for Psychological Science split off back in 1988, to form a more-scientific, less-politicized version of APA.
Yet, here we are, 40 years later -- with APA still the main accrediting body that gives its seal of approval to PhD programs that train the vast majority of licensed clinical psychologists in America.
APA sets the agenda. It determines what gets covered in graduate courses. It runs the most influential journals and conferences. It sets the whole political and ideological tone for psychological research. For decades, it has pushed political correctness, 'affirmative action', wokeness, DEI, and Leftist political causes.
APA also ignores, censors, and/or demonizes the psychological research areas that are politically incorrect, but that replicate well (e.g. intelligence research, behavior genetics, evolutionary psychology, sex differences).
There are alternatives. For example, the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) focuses more on the real science -- evidence-based treatments and interventions -- rather than on the Leftist activism of APA.
But, for the moment, the APA's ideological agenda still dominates American clinical psychology.
This partly explains the feedback loop between clinical psychology becoming so feminized (with women getting about 80% of clinical psychology PhDs), and clinical psychology becoming so radical-Leftist in its politics.
And it explains why it's pretty difficult to find licensed clinical psychologists who are actually sympathetic to men, conservatives, and/or Christians.
This is one big reason why men won't go to therapy -- they don't want to deal with a (probably female, probably liberal) therapist who has been indoctrinated into wokeness for 5-6 years throughout her graduate training.

Disastrous policies have disastrous consequences.
A Canadian company, Psiphon, built software that helps people in authoritarian countries get around censorship. Now it says it may have to leave Canada 🇨🇦
The reason: Bill C-22 would require telecoms and internet providers to build surveillance and monitoring capabilities into their systems for police and CSIS.
When privacy tools say they can't operate safely here, that's worth paying attention to.
Tech exodus begins, as predicted.

There are two principal ways for a country to grow its population: through natural population growth or through immigration.
Canada’s fertility rate has fallen to 1.26, far below the replacement level of approximately 2.1.
Before talking about increasing Canada’s population, we should be asking some fundamental questions:
1. Why are Canadians having fewer children?
2. Why has life become so unaffordable?
3. And how do we address the growing pressures on our health care, housing, education and other essential infrastructure?
Responsible and balanced immigration has always played an important role in Canada. But immigration should not become a substitute for addressing the affordability pressures that are making it increasingly difficult for Canadians to start and raise a family.

In fairness, defenders of abortion have a nuanced position: they support the death penalty, but only for the innocent.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

🇻🇦🇫🇷 “I am sometimes concerned by these trends in society that risk transforming science and technology into profit-making enterprises promoting genetic manipulation [and] surrogacy.”
— Pope Leo XIV, today in France.
Whatever one’s beliefs, these words matter enormously.
As a child born through surrogacy, I thank him for speaking these words in my own country, and for refusing to look away from the commodification of women and children.
Thank you, Holy Father. 🙏

The Church does not exist for herself, but to lead every person to an encounter with the Lord. It is therefore not enough to ask whether an activity is well organized, well attended, or has been running for many years. We must ask whether it truly leads people to Christ and brings the Gospel into contact with the concrete realities of people’s lives.

This story is absolutely HORRENDOUS 😩
A man in China commissioned triplets through surrogacy in Florida. When they were born, he didn’t even come to get them.
He sent “baby handlers" YEARS LATER.
BABY HANDLERS.
People literally paid to collect newborn babies, sort out their documents and move them across borders.
One of those three babies later died. The other two ended up in an international custody battle.
DO NOT start calling this “surrogacy gone wrong.” This IS surrogacy. Once pregnancy and children become contractual services, an entire industry inevitably appears around the buying, transferring and delivering of babies 🤮
The same investigation describes men commissioning children on an industrial scale : 21 children in one case, more than 100 in another.
How is any of this normal?
I AM DISGUSTED.

Last night, I went to confession for the first time since I was 18 years old.
I sat down across from the priest and told him that. More than two decades had passed since the last time I had entered a confessional.
Then I asked him a strange question:
“Do you know what a detransitioner is?”
He said yes.
So I told him my story.
I told him that I had lived as a transgender man for seven years. That last June, I finally admitted publicly that I had been wrong. That I detransitioned. That today I accept something I spent years running from:
I am a woman.
I told him what followed. The anger. The attacks. The people from every corner and every side who have come after me for speaking openly about what happened to me and for refusing to pretend that I believe something I no longer believe.
But none of that was really why I was sitting there.
I wasn’t there to confess what other people had done to me.
I was there to confess what I had done to myself.
For seven years, I told myself I was a man.
And beneath everything else - the politics, the activism, the arguments, the labels, the endless noise - I needed to ask God to forgive me for lying to myself about who I was.
So I did.
And I was forgiven.
After more than two decades away from confession, I walked out of that church with something I didn’t walk in with:
A sense of purpose.
There is something incredibly liberating about realizing that I do not need absolution from the internet. I don’t need it from activists. I don’t need it from people who hate me. I don’t need it from people who resent me, misunderstand me, gossip about me, or think I should spend the rest of my life apologizing for telling the truth about my own life.
I asked God for forgiveness.
And God forgave me.
That’s the judgment that matters to me now.
Everyone else can stay mad.

CBC recently ran a “miracle” story about surgeons operating on a baby inside his mother’s womb at 26 weeks.
The groundbreaking surgery put baby Theo’s intestines back inside his body. He’s now five months old and thriving. Thank God.
Then the @CBC edited the piece to replace “unborn baby” with “fetus” and called Theo an “it.”
New headline: “Fetus has pioneering surgery inside the womb.”
Subheadline: “Operation was to treat fetus that had intestines growing outside of its body.”
I wish this were a joke. The CBC is so desperate to defend abortion ideology that it cannot even use the word “baby” while telling a story about a life being saved in the womb.
It even issued a correction for calling Theo a baby:
“This story has been edited to refer to a fetus rather than an unborn baby.”
The real story is a newsroom so captured by wokism and radical feminist abortion politics that it cannot describe a child being saved without first stripping him of his humanity.
The ideology became the story. The fact that they had to “correct” the word baby tells you everything.

“It is easy for me to imagine that the next great division of the world will be between people who wish to live as creatures and people who wish to live as machines.”

Josh Canning retweeted
A man spent almost a century proving you could make a whole world out of staying put.
Wendell Berry stayed with one piece of Kentucky ground long enough to find nearly everything there: work, marriage, neighbors, grief, faith, greed, beauty, the living and the dead.
While America kept treating movement as improvement, Berry kept asking what gets torn loose when everybody leaves, everything gets bigger, and nobody knows where the food came from or who is buried over the hill.
His answers were plain. Know the ground. Know the people. Remember the dead. Try not to leave things worse than you found them. He understood that once land, work, food and consequence get far enough apart, ruining them gets easy.
Calling him a nature writer never made much sense to me.
Berry wrote about belonging to a place deeply enough that it could make demands of you.
Now he belongs to that Kentucky ground too
