The Vatican is pressing forward with the plan to reshape the Church into a more participatory, consultative body with shared decision-making across multiple levels, according to a report by katholisch.de on April 21.

Real Women of Canadahas posted another timely article to better understand the current and divided state of Canada. It's titled, " The Influence of Feminism in Canada." It serves to explain the economic and moral decline of Canada. And why over one trillion dollars in investments have left Canada during the last decade. It was former PM Just Trudeau who said that Canada was a post-nation state with no core values. He admired China. He also defined himself as a staunch, progressive, look-at-me male feminist.

REAL Women is always grateful for competent and honest leaders regardless of their gender. This is in extremely short supply, especially at the federal level. There are some outstanding examples …

Henri de Lubac - Film Trailer Learn More and Donate Here: de Lubac | Henri de Lubac Documentary | Support … A Jesuit who survived two world wars and censorship, Henri de Lubac answered catastrophe with fierce clarity—and changed the Church in the process. Through letters smuggled under occupation, debates that shook Rome, and the shockwaves of Vatican II, his defense of the human person—made in the image and likeness of God—stood against atheism, crushing ideologies, and the hollow promises of a postmodern age. The film moves from trenches of war to council halls to today’s fractured public square, tracing how one restless mind became a compass for those searching for meaning and dignity. Ignatius Press is happy to have partnered with Glass Darkly Films and Sonic Palette productions to produce this film about one of the best theologians in the 20th century.
