Editorial: Time for kindness
By Catholic Register EditorialAs spring turns into summer, Canada is about to face a test of its generosity.
Editorial: Return the money
By Catholic Register EditorialMaybe they didn’t get the memo. Maybe it was simple human error. Maybe they simply don’t care.
Editorial: Good triumphs
By Catholic Register EditorialDo not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Editorial: Misguided debate
By Catholic Register EditorialCanadian bishops must not have seen the hornets nest they were stepping into March 28 when they issued a somewhat ambiguously worded letter to Canada’s Indigenous peoples.
Editorial: A blast from the past
By Catholic Register EditorialHere we go again. Development and Peace, an organization created by Canada’s bishops, is back on the hot seat over allegations it failed to properly screen some overseas partners. At least 11 dioceses have withheld funds from the organization after suggestions that several of its partner agencies are offside on issues that include abortion, contraception and gender theory.

Editorial: Hope for the Holy Land
By Catholic Register EditorialPope Paul V was a controversial leader in turbulent times. His biography cites a fondness for luxury, penchant for nepotism and persecution of Galileo, but also lauds his completion of St. Peter’s Basilica, contributions to education and the arts, encouragement of New World missionaries and the canonization St. Charles Borromeo.
