It's insidious! I have a friend who works at a community college and she tells me that new student applicants are submitting long autobiographies - sometimes over 10 pages long. Yet, these same potential students are failing basic English skills entrance tests and need remedial classes! Of course, they aren't writing things themselves!
When one’s moral compass isn’t pointing to God, it will point somewhere else including ChatGPT. What a sad event.
Where's Ontario's intergrity commissioner when needed?
The Ontario Catholic School Trustees' Association has just shared with its membership, the latest annual report by the Office of the Integrity Commissioner of Ontario. The reason for the report is to give the Legislative Assembly and the public a transparent account of the office's work. It's mostly PR to justify the nearly $6,000,000 operational budget. The Office of the Integrity Commissioner is supposed to promote and defend ethical behaviour and integrity in all governemnt run activities. They say it's all about transparency and accountability. Why hasn't OCSTA raised the issue with the Integrity Commissioner of Ontario about the injustice done to trustee Michael Del Grande. Government funded operations from the courts, the teachers' union and the Ontario College of Teachers, have attacked Del Grande, even as his rights as a Catholic school trustee have been violated. The most recent biased decision came from the Ontario College of Teachers. In the complaint filed against him, …
While this is an Ontario, Canada story, the attack on the Catholic faith is happening around the globe. And our Catholic leaders remain mostly quiet.
Christian grandmother killed by euthanasia in Canada against family’s will - LifeSite
Fri Aug 7, 2026 - 2:44 pm EDTFri Aug 7, 2026 - 4:36 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A 83-year-old Christian grandmother with cognitive problems was euthanized despite her stated opposition and against her family’s will through Canada’s euthanasia program in July. According to her family’s horrifying account, great-grandmother Brigitte Stegemann had lived in an Ontario long-term care facility for the final two years of her life. She originally explicitly stated that, due to her Christian beliefs, she didn’t want to be euthanized. About five months before her death, she had been diagnosed with untreatable Stage IV stomach cancer. While her granddaughter — named Brigette in her grandmother’s honor — who held legal power of attorney was away on vacation, the medical team convinced Stegemann to request euthanasia or “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAID). “The facility initiated the renewed MAiD discussions with a patient who had declined,” noted Kelsi Sheren in her Substack report, “The Last Ten Days …
@Everyday for Life Canada It’s not an evil slippery slope. It's the way of devil. Killing the people and leeding the people to Hell.
When you can legally murder a baby in the womb, you can kill a grandmother against her will? The moral anchor has been cut. It’s an evil slippery slope.
There is no such thing as responsible gambling
There is no such as responsible gambling. And Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. should know this. If he doesn't someone on the Blue Jays team or management ought to tell him. He's earning $50 million a year for ten years. So, he doesn't need extra money with endorsements and advertising. Pushing the very profitable company Bewtay Canada will only take more money from fans and create more addicts to gambling. The "Super Group, the parent company of Betway, reported record Q2 2026 revenue of $684 million (an 18% year-over-year increase) and a profit of $123 million. Following strong performance globally, particularly in Africa and Europe, the company updated its full-year 2026 guidance to project over $2.6 billion in total revenue." Gambling is big money. And this is only one site. Here's the posted information about the Guerrero advertisement: Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has teamed up with Betway to promote Responsible Gambling. A …
Penn professor claims ‘cisness’ is unnatural, ‘sex isn’t real’ in new book | The College Fix
FEATURED | LGBTQ ‘Renderings of stable, biological, binary sex don’t make sense under close scrutiny,’ professor writes University of Pennsylvania Professor Beans Velocci published a book this year claiming “sex isn’t real” and the gender “binary” is “incoherent.” Velocci is an assistant professor in history and the sociology of science who claims to be nonbinary and transgender. This identification has shaped the professor’s questions and conclusions because “that is how knowledge works,” Velocci wrote in the book titled “Sex Isn’t Real: The Invention of an Incoherent Binary.” In an interview with Duke University Press, which published the book, Velocci expressed joy that “any right wing or TERF detractor who wants to s***-talk the book is going to have to say or write the phrase ‘Sex Isn’t Real’ in the process.” Velocci claims in the book that “cisness” is unnatural and that people fitting into their “assigned sex category” took a large amount of work to construct and maintain. Sex …
Wait... that's a photo of a "professor"? Looks like your average college slacker. The inmates have definitely taken the asylum!
The man lives in the make believe world of Humpty Dumpty where words mean whatever you want them to mean. We wonder if he would accept a large pay decrease because money too isn’t real.
OCT ruling against TCDSB trustee Michael Del Grande is a decision against all Catholics
On April 8, 2029 the Ontario College of Teachers' Disciplinary Committee released their 129 page decision regarding Toronto District Catholic School Board trustee Michael Del Grande. We believe the bad OCT and unnecessary ruling against Michael Del Grande is a decision against all Catholics in Ontario. It's essentially an anti-Catholic verdict. But don’t expect the MSM to report objectively about the issue. We explain our position later. The Committee addressed four allegations against Del Grande to see whether he was guilty of professional misconduct by violating the Ontario College of Teachers' Act when, (1) he abused a student or students, verbally, contrary to Ontario Regulation 437/97, subsection 1(7); (2) he abused a student or students psychologically or emotionally, contrary to Ontario Regulation 437/97, subsection 1(7.2); (3) he committed acts that, having regard to all the circumstances, would reasonably be regarded by members as disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional,…
"Imitating the Courage of John the Baptist."
Yesterday's liturgy celebrated the memorial of Saint Alphonsus Liguori. He died in 1787. He was a bishop and the founder of the Redemptorists. He is a Doctor of the Church and the patron saint of moral theologians. Fro the holy Gospel according to Matthew 14:1-12: Herod the tetrarch heard of the reputation of Jesus and said to his servants, 'This man is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why mighty powers are at work in him.' Now Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, for John had said to him, 'It is not lawful for you to have her.' Although he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, for they regarded him as a prophet. But at a birthday celebration for Herod, the daughter of Herodias performed a dance before the guests and delighted Herod so much that he swore to give her whatever she might ask for. Prompted by her mother, she said, 'Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist …
St. Charbel's tips on protecting your family from Satan
The famous Maronite saint believed Satan is "hell-bent" on destroying the family. St. Charbel was a humble Maronite hermit who died in 1898 and has since become well known for countless miracles attributed to his intercession. He was a holy priest who was closely united to Jesus on earth and possessed a rich wisdom that was the fruit of deep prayer. In his writings, some of which can be found in the book Love is a Radiant Light: The Life & Words of Saint Charbel, he writes about the family and its greatest enemy, the devil. His thoughts about this topic are further expanded in this SlideShare, where his profound wisdom is featured. He explains that the devil has always focused his energy on the destruction of the family, as it so closely reflects an image of God. The family is the basis of the Lord’s plan; and all forces of evil are focusing all their evil on destroying the family because they know that by destroying the family, the foundations of the plan of God will be shaken. The …
