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.

When God is offended, should we become violent?

Our God is all love and truth, who asks from us humility and forgiveness. Our God is the only living God. He has the word of eternal life. Observing the process of the current protests in the Middle East and many other places in the world by the so called followers of Islam, presumably outraged because they do not like what is being presented in a film about their prophet; it is interesting to distinguish that factual truth, about what is missing in the whole staging of these protests and it is precisely, truth, love, humility and forgiveness and it is not precisely from the ignorant mobs perpetrating the assaults under the direction of their evil leaders, but from the ones supposedly protecting the basic and fundamental freedoms we all in the western civilization which is founded in Christianity, have for granted.

Common Good

It is often found commentaries that describe common good as extremes of anarchy, as expressions that on one end present a justification for system interference and on the other as an idea of omnipotence over the people who is typically labeled as mediocre and incapable of deciding on their own about their matters and circumstances. However, common good is divine a mandate we all have as individuals; to aim for and to work towards. It is what defines the relationship between science and reason, because a science where its object is to benefit only the self or to enhance the egos of the recipients is what defies reason and so it segregates itself from faith which is what make us creatures of God with dignity, identity and individuality because care exists for our neighbor and peer. Common good cannot be taking or confiscating from some to give to others or to pretend that by robbing from the ones that have to presumably give to the have not, the issue is fairly addressed. On the contra...

He said this to test Philip, for He himself knew what He was going to do

Gospel text ( Jn  6,1-15) :  Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, near Tiberias, and large crowds followed him because of the miraculous signs they saw when He healed the sick. So He went up into the hills and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. Then lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw the crowds that were coming to him and said to Philip, «Where shall we buy bread so that these people may  eat ?». He said this to test Philip, for He himself knew what He was going to do. Philip answered him, «Two hundred  silver coins would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a piece». Then one of Jesus' disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said, «There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?». Jesus said, «Make the people sit down». There was plenty of grass there so the people, about five thousand men, sat down to rest. Jesus then took the loaves, ga...
