An “Exciting Moment” For Catholic Religious Education in England & Wales… You Wish!

Extracts From the Catholic Herald - with commentary from the Editor of Catholic Truth... Earlier this week, the Catholic Education Service (CES) launched the latest and long-awaited version of the Religious Education Directory (RED) for Catholic schools, colleges and academies in England and Wales.  The new directory replaces previous editions published in 1996 and 2012.

Feast of the Purification of Our Lady … The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple – Candlemas

Editor writes... In order to pay due tribute to Our Lady on this beautiful Feast, I tried to find the hymn O Purest of Creatures, sung to the tune with which, I believe, most of us in Scotland grew up. YouTube is awash with a very different tune, however, so I've had to settle for...

Happy Hogmanay & A Happy & Holy New Year!

Editor writes... We are living through an unprecedented and thoroughly savage diabolical attack on God, His Catholic Church and all things holy.  It's hard to imagine things becoming worse than we've lived through in the past year, but let's call for Our Lady's help, as we enter this new year of 2023 in the spirit...

Neil Oliver: Cancel Christmas? Just Try!

Editor writes... I've never thought of Neil Oliver as a "devout Christian".  Yet, in the above monologue, he puts just about every clergyman in the land to shame by his stout defence of Christmas and the Christian heritage of the west; he issues a stark warning - after the fashion of the Old Testament prophets...

1st November: Feast of All Saints – Let’s Party!

Editor writes... Since the family in the above video just might inspire some of our bloggers and/or readers to celebrate their own family party to mark the Feast Day, I thought I'd post this thread a little ahead of time for those who would appreciate the ideas and welcome the time to prepare. As always with...

It IS Biblical to Pray to Our Lady – It IS… Definitely!

Editor writes... Recently, I found myself discussing the issue of praying to Our Lady on The Conservative Woman blog.  I came across them during lockdown when it was one of the few places of refuge online, challenging the whole Covid scam.  I still receive their daily news bulletins, so when this one arrived, I couldn't...

Third Secret of Fatima: The Abandonment Of The Faith Within Church… Even At The Very Top

One online commentator remarked, perhaps a tad sarcastically on seeing the above video, that "With all respect, it is NO secret at all our Catholic Church is in ruins..."  Editor writes... The narrator in the above (excellent) short film may give the impression of confusing the request of Our Lady for the Consecration of Russia with...

Archie Battersbee: DO “Hospitals Know Best”?

From the Sun Newspaper -  what happened to Archie Battersbee Editor writes... Firstly, let's all remember Archie and his family in our prayers, at this tremendously difficult time. Maybe it's because my trust in the medical and scientific professions has just about disappeared after the Covid lockdowns and restrictions, but I just do not agree with Ella Whelan...

Glasgow Priest: Open Letter Regarding State of the Church in Scotland – Souls Are Being Endangered!

Editor writes... Glasgow priest, Father Stephen Dunn, who, in 2020, posted an Open Letter on this blog regarding the imposition of Covid restrictions on churches, (to read, click here), has honoured us by submitting a second Open Letter for publication, in response to recent, and ongoing, scandals within the Church in Scotland. Thank you, Father... OPEN...

Feast of SS Peter & Paul: Pray for Pope – Urgently

Pope Francis seems to be determined to push "Vatican II" to the limits, in a manner of speaking. This from The Catholic Sun (28/06/22) VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Before celebrating the Holy Year 2025, Pope Francis is asking Catholics around the world to dedicate time in 2023 to studying the documents of the Second Vatican...
