Is there a need for a Ministry of Religious Freedom?
Does not that imply government deciding on what religion is best, the true one, etc?
Instead of worrying so much about these matters which in essence belong to the people which are the ones who happen to be free for God's grace, not government one.

If Quebec is out to lunch, specially in this, the people in Quebec, as the people in the Soviet Union or Germany, or Cuba, or even the Middle East; did or do, in the moments of long obscurantism, will keep their faith and they will pass to the side of the sheep to the right hand of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is never up to governments to do anything other than protect life and freedom.
Hence, the point as with the matter of the sadly infamous Human Rights Commissions or Tribunals, where freedom is tried to be looked in the political aspect, as protecting political correctness; it is not the competence of any government to deal with life or freedom in any other way but protecting the right of the people, all the people to be free to belief what is their decision. The government cannot but by ways of despotic and tyranny, impose anything in matters of faith or freedom.
One more reason to go back and reflect on what Canada is being converted by the establishment trying to control everything and why, it is imperative to reduce the reach of the government and its tentacles to the minimum, by reducing its size limiting its functions to nothing but administering the common goods of the country while legislating in a simple form so that everyone can understand, laws that accommodate to the law of laws; the Ten Commandments, resumed by Jesus as loving God with all our hearts and souls, before anything and everything and our neighbor as ourselves.
A hint. The law is not to facilitate or promote; divorce, adultery, sodomy, theft, murder, envy. The law is suppose to protect the institutions of marriage, family and the gifts of life and freedom.

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
