Catholic Register Editorial

Let us pray that at next year’s World Day of Prayer for Creation a mass of committed environmentalists from across Canada gather in Montreal’s Dominion Square to pray for God’s forgiveness of our ecological sins.

On our Comment pages, Sr. Helena Burns issues a robust call for a return to “old school” means of acquiring, developing and retaining knowledge in the age of AI.

With just days to go until the start of the new school year, two Catholic school boards find themselves heading into a year of anxiety as Ontario’s Ministry of Education has placed them under provincial supervision.

Ceaseless news of the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, inundations of reporting on bloodshed in Ukraine, dialogues of the deaf over climate change, the unstoppable unfurling of AI, feed a spirit of defeat about continued human existence.

In this age of digital communication, it seems like nothing we say or do ever goes away. Once an interview, a podcast, a social media post or an article has been recorded, reported on or printed, it's out there for anyone at any time.

A key to Cardinal Francis Leo’s second pastoral letter for the Archdiocese of Toronto comes, fittingly, in the fifth paragraph of the introduction to the document’s nine segments.

Pope Leo has assumed the Petrine ministry as old ecclesial divisions have reared up anew and as heightened polarization has weakened the Church's unity and mission.

If The Catholic Register were written by nattering nit pickers of negativism, we would find two unfortunate things to say about Cardinal Leo’s recent meditation about June being dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
