Happy Memorial Day weekend to all our US writers.

In Canada, the Ontario government’s fierce determination to force all Catholic and other schools to accept anti-Christian, homosexuality normalizing Gay Straight Alliances is now getting ugly.

The Ontario bishops’ strategy of “working quietly behind the scenes” with the government, rather than supporting the thousands of parents who have been valiantly fighting the government imposition and unsuccessfully pleading with the bishops’ to publicly join them, has been an entirely predictable failure. The bishops have been quietly assuring Catholics for many months that “it is being taken care of” and urging the parents’ groups to stop their public demonstrations.

This episcopal foolishness happens again and again in this nation in which Catholic politicians, (the Ontario premier is a Catholic), more than in any other country, have for years aggressively forced a deadly, anti-life, anti-family culture on the nation. And Canada then exports each new advance in its social corruption to other nations. What a mess.
