Homeward bound

April 25, 2025

Homelessness is a big issue all over Canada, including Ontario. We are facing a tough situation. Governments need to address the crisis and help people in these difficult times. We need to build affordable housing. We need to work with...

Carney inconsistent

April 13, 2025

CCCB President Bishop William McGrattan recently advised Christians to get involved in the electoral process ("Church teaching should guide vote," Catholic Register, Mar. 30, 2025). Something to consider as part of this process is...

Flying the flag

April 2, 2025

Regarding The Catholic Register’s recent report on Toronto City Hall banning the Vatican flag, it’s worth recalling that Frank Klees, former MLA for Newmarket Aurora, tabled a private member's bill "An Act to...

Heart Burn

April 2, 2025

Glen Argan's March 9 column "Trust in God trumps tariff bullies" sadly illustrates one of my trusted touchstones about the truth missing the point. Tariffs are a blunt instrument used by governments from time immemorial to protect domestic...

Doubly confused

February 19, 2025

I do not understand the apparent support your newspaper gave and continues to give to American President Trump especially in view of his various proclamations such as discontinuing foreign aid and the more recent one denying a right of return...

Informative

February 13, 2025

Quinton Amundson's Feb. 2 article "While Ottawa zigs, Alberta's Smith zags" was an informative analysis of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. He cites a commentator describing Smith as a "disruptor." But I characterize her as independent minded and...

Practical Catholics

February 11, 2025

Anna Farrow's January 26 article "The Catholic or the Davos Man?" is essential reading for all Catholic voters. I would only add that Mark Carney's...
